”More than a working-relationship” : A study about home care service nurses experiences of their working situation (English)
Abstract [sv]

Huvudsyftet med vår studie är att undersöka och analysera hur personal i hemtjänsten upplever sin arbetssituation samt vad relationerna till arbetskamrater respektive brukare kan ha för betydelse för denna upplevelse. Vi har därför valt en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer, som bygger på intervjupersonernas egna upplevelser av sin verklighet. Vårt övergripande perspektiv på studien är socialpedagogiken. Den teoretiska ramen består sociala nätverk, samt begreppen gemenskap och tunna nätverksband. Datamaterialet som insamlats har kodats, kategoriserats, tematiserats och analyserats i förhållande till tidigare forskning och de teoretiska perspektiven. Vår studies resultat pekar på att personalen inom hemtjänsten upplever att de har ett bra och givande arbete, där kontakten med brukarna upplevs som mycket positiv och som själva anledningen att gå till arbetet. Personalen beskriver även att arbetsgruppen har stor betydelse och att det är till sina arbetskamrater som de vänder sig för att få stöd. Studiens resultat visar tydligt att relationerna är viktiga för individens uppfattning av sin arbetssituation.

Abstract [en]

The main purpose with our study is to examine and analyze how staff in home care services perceive their work situation as well as in what way relations with colleagues or clients may have an impact on this experience. We have chosen a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, which builds on the experience of the interviewed individuals. Our main perspective in this study is the social pedagogy. The theoretical frame consists of social networks and the concepts community and thin networks. The collected data has been coded, categorized, thematised and analyzed in relation to former research and the theoretical perspectives. Our study results indicates that the personnel in home care services feels that they have a good and rewarding work. The contact with the users is experienced as very positive and as the main reason for them to go to work. The personnel also describe the working group as very important and it is to the colleagues they turn to get support. The result of this study clearly shows that relations are of great importance for the individuals understanding of their work situation.
