Ibland viskar jag... : En kvalitativ studie om behandlingspersonalens perspektiv på bemötandet av flickor placerade på SiS-hem / Sometimes I Whisper... : A Qualitative Study of the Social Workers Perspectives on How They Approach Girls in Compulsory Care at the National Board of Institutional CareRaduta, Andrea January 2023 (has links)
Children and youth that are provided compulsory care and treatment under the terms of the Care of Young Persons (Specials Provisions) Act (LVU) may end up in special residential homes for young people (särskilda ungdomshem). These homes are being runned by the National Board of Institutional Care (Statens Institutionsstyrelse or SiS) and have been criticized for providing girls with poorer care than boys. The aim of this study was to investigate social workers’ perspectives on the way they approach and work with girls in special residential homes. The study consists of eight qualitative interviews with treatment educators and treatment assistants. The findings of the study are that many difficult situations arise when working with girls in institutional care. Furthermore, the results show that the social workers find themselves in complex situations caused by the conflict between caring for and controlling the girls. Research has showed that the social workers need to constantly position themselves between the four extremes of support vs. control, and emotional closeness vs. emotional distance (Hill 2005, ss.83-84). A possible model to understand the coping strategies of social workers is proposed based on the theoretical concepts of “the good will”, cognitive dissonance and doxa.
