Bakgrund: Hemmasittande ungdomar, i åldrarna 15–24 år, som inte har en daglig sysselsättning i form av skola, arbete eller annan aktivitet är en stor riskgrupp för psykisk ohälsa. Risken att vara kvar i sysslolöshet under lång tid är överhängande och det behövs därför ett större fokus på gruppen. För att minska andelen individer i gruppen behövs en helhetssyn på de ungas behov och tidigare insatser för att förebygga hemmasittande. Syfte: Studien syftar till att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska åtgärder som kan hjälpa hemmasittande ungdomar till en meningsfull sysselsättning i vardagen. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes med tio separata intervjuer med arbetsterapeuter inom olika verksamheter runt om i Sverige. Datainsamlingen analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fyra kategorier framkom genom arbetet “Samtal och kommunikation”, “Åtgärder för en fungerande vardag”, “Samverkan” och “Utvecklingsmöjligheter” varje kategori har sedan två till tre underkategorier och flertalet koder som diskuteras. Slutsats: I resultatet framkom vikten av Klientcentrerade åtgärder och att lyssna på individen och möta upp denne där den befann sig för tillfället. / Background: Young people in the age between 15-24, who do not have a daily occupation by work, school or other activities are in a higher risk for mental illness. The risk of being left inoccupation for a longer period is imminent and therefore, a greater focus is needed to the group. To reduce the increase of individuals in the group, a holistic view and early contribution is needed to prevent the adolescent to ”stay at-home”. Purpose: The study aims to describe occupational therapeutic measures that can help ”stay at-home” youth to meaningful occupation in everyday life. Method: A qualitative interview study was conducted with ten separate interviews with occupational therapists from various organizations around Sweden. The collection of data was analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. Results: Four categories emerged through the work “Conversation and communication”, “Interventions for a functioning everyday life”, “Collaboration” and “Development” each category then has two to three subcategories and the majority of the codes got discussed. Conclusion: The result revealed the importance of client-based interventions, to listen to the clients and meet them where they are in life.

This qualitative study's aim is to understand how social workers in child care protective services handle client initiated violence. The aim is also to explore the social workers' experiences of their managment's support regarding client initiated violence. Data from seven social workers have been analyzed using the theory about coping by Lazarus and Folkman (1984). This studys' result show that social workers can experience negative feelings when exposed to client initiated violence. Some social workers cope with these feelings by using emotion-focused coping strategies such a distancing, avoidant behavior, understanding, empathic approach or trying to see the situation through the eyes of the client. The results also show that social workers also use problerm-focused coping strategies in theratening or violent situations. This can entail self-reflection, erasing personal data from the internet, clear communication, support from colleauges or managers, participating in supervision and learning to set limits. Sometimes the social workers used both emotions-focused and problem-focused coping strategies at the same time. Furthermore the social workers' experiences of their managments' support and preventive work was mainly positive but some claim that the preventive work could improve to increase work saftey and well being among the social workers.
