Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sverige var det första landet i världen att införa förbud mot barnaga men trots det är det många barn som far illa och orosanmälningar fortsätter att öka. Barnmisshandel är en global hälsofråga och kan leda till stora konsekvenser både för den enskilda individen och samhället på sikt. Skolsköterskan har genom sin roll på grundskolan en idealisk förutsättning för att identifiera barn som far illa.

Syfte: Att beskriva skolsköterskors erfarenheter av att identifiera barn som far illa.

Metod: Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ metod. Sex skolsköterskor från svenska skolor deltog i studien. Datainsamlingen utgick från en semistrukturerad intervjuguide och analyserades därefter enligt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. 

Resultat: Skolsköterskorna upplevde att ärlighet och uppriktighet var fundamentala egenskaper som de behövde besitta för att få elevens tillit. Förtroende var ett genomgående tema och en röd tråd i resultatet. Skolsköterskor betonade att alla samtalsämnen var tillåtna på mottagningsrummet. Elever som ofta sökte upp skolsköterskan var viktiga att uppmärksamma eftersom eleverna ofta hade en latent anledning till sitt besök. Skolsköterskorna betonade att samarbetet med andra professioner runt eleverna var viktigt och elevens välbefinnande stod alltid i centrum vid bedömning och utredning. Elever observerades och professioner hjälptes åt att tolka varandras bedömningar utifrån sina olika kompetensområden och erfarenheter.

Slutsats: Förtroende kan uppstå genom muntlig, kroppslig och bildlig kommunikation, samt genom tolkning av samspel mellan människor. Skolsköterskor behöver använda alla sinnen för att vara fysiskt och psykiskt närvarande samt observanta på skolan. För att identifiera elever som far illa behöver skolsköterskor vara lyhörda och skarpsynta för att identifiera synliga och osynliga sätt att fara illa på.

Abstract [en]

Background: Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce a ban on corporal punishment of children, but despite this, many children are getting hurt, and reports of concern continue to increase. Child abuse is a global health issue and can lead to major consequences for both the individual and society in the long run. Compulsory school is important for children in vulnerable situations and the school nurse has in their role an ideal condition to discover and identify child abuse.

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the school nurses' experiences of detecting child abuse.

Method: The study is based on a qualitative method. Six school nurses from Swedish schools participated in the study. The data collection was based on a semi-structured interview guide and was then analyzed according to qualitative content analysis.

Results: The school nurses felt that honesty and sincerity were fundamental qualities that they needed to possess in order to gain the student's trust. Trust was a recurring theme and a central thread in the result. School nurses emphasized that all topics of conversation were allowed in the reception room. Students who often sought out the school nurse were important to pay attention to because the students often had a latent reason for their visit. The school nurses emphasized that the collaboration with other professions around the students was important and the student's well-being was always at the center of assessment and investigation. Students were observed and professions were helped to interpret each other's assessments based on their different areas of competence and experiences.

Conclusion: Trust can occur through oral, physically and figurative communication, and through the interpretation of interactions between people. School nurses need to use all their senses to be physically and mentally present and observant at school. In order to detect child abuse, school nurses need to be responsive and sharp-sighted in order to identify visible as well as invisible ways to get hurt on.
