Abstract [sv]
Syftet med föreliggande kvalitativa studie var att undersöka hur enhetschefer inom äldreomsorgen upplever sin egen psykosociala arbetsmiljö under pandemin COVID-19.
Datainsamlingen utgick från semistrukturerade intervjuer där frågorna var utformade utefter Karasek och Theorells krav-kontroll-stöd-modellen. Sex stycken enhetschefer inom äldreomsorgen medverkade i studien.
Analysen av materialet skedde genom en tematisk analys av data där resultatet redovisas i form av teman. De fyra övergripande temana som uppenbarade sig i analysen var prioritering av arbetsuppgifter, separera arbete från fritid, stöd samt viktiga egenskaper som chef.
I diskussionsdelen nämns det att flertalet respondenter upplevde att de hade svårt att släppa arbetet när de kom hem men att de ändå såg positivt på sin egen psykosociala arbetsmiljö trots omständigheterna kring pandemin.
