The aim of the study was to examine individual staff experience and management of threats and violence in the acute psychiatric department for children and teenagers in Uppsala. Previous research shows that the experience of threats and/or violence is individual, and that it is difficult to distinguish between these concepts. Research shows that it is particularly vulnerable to work in psychiatry when mental illness is a cause when threats and violence occurs. Threats and violence can result in different consequences for the individual. The study is based on qualitative interviews and the material was collected in the autumn of 2012 at Akademiska sjukhuset. The qualitative interviews was transcribed and carefully analyzed. The result had an outcome in four different themes: The diffuse definition between threats and violence that showed how difficult it is to define threats and violence. Causes and staff reaction showed that mental illness, how you treat someone and compulsive cares are contributing factors to threats and violence occurs. This theme also shows ambivalence within the staff, that the behavior is unacceptable meanwhile he or she is mentally ill. Management and reporting showed that the staff has different coping strategies when they deal with threats and violence and that it is different how functional the reporting is. The theme working environment showed that it is a vulnerable environment to work in. Therefore, it is important to get support from colleagues and managers but the staff has different opinions whether they feel supported from managers. There is a need to develop routines for incidents when threats and/or violence have occurred. Keywords: Threats, Violence, Staffs experience, Child and adolescent psychiatry, Causes

The central objective of the research was to investigate the old age as a vector to creations of itself, requiring the structuring of a policy of meetings and with the support and means, the political philosophy of Deleuze. This search begins for questions and lines for what is happening and pierces the meetings, providing approximations of what distinguish a life of all the others, ie, singling and individuation processes that express something about the ways of life of each. The adopted methodological strategy was based on a rhizome and interstitial procedure applied in the literature of the surveyed works, prioritizing the issue that is in the friction between old age as agenciadora meetings, and an implied policy in the promotion and proliferation of good meetings, and the philosophy of Deleuze support for us we slide through his conceptual thoughts, in our view, still able to attract new interference, just by virtue of everything that happens in their midst. This methodology allowed the approach of different thoughts and the development of conjugations and trials in the search for a political meetings as a possibility for other creations.

O objetivo central da pesquisa foi investigar a velhice como vetor para criações de si, demandando a disparação de uma política dos encontros e tendo como suporte e meio, a filosofia política de Deleuze. Esta busca inicia-se por perguntas e linhas pelo o que se passa e transpassa nos encontros, propiciando aproximações daquilo que distingui uma vida de todas as outras, ou seja, os processos de singularização e individuação que expressam algo a respeito dos modos de vida de cada um. A estratégia metodológica adotada baseou-se num procedimento rizomático e intersticial aplicado na literatura das obras pesquisadas, priorizando a problemática que se encontra na fricção entre velhice como agenciadora de encontros, e uma política implicada na promoção e proliferação de bons encontros, tendo na filosofia de Deleuze suporte para podermos deslizarmos através de seus pensamentos conceituais que, a nosso ver, continuam capazes de atrair novas interferências, justamente por força de tudo que acontece em seu meio. Esta metodologia permitiu a aproximação de diferentes pensamentos e a elaboração de conjugações e ensaios na busca de uma política dos encontros como possibilidade de criações de si. A aliança entre esses campos permitiu pensarmos a velhice como acontecimento, ou seja, contendo em si a possibilidade de transformação radical da existência. Além disso, a pesquisa avança na elaboração e na cartografia de uma política deleuziana dos encontros, que permite, entre outras coisas, problematizarmos os modos de vida contemporâneos

Tidigare forskning visar att det är individuellt hur man upplever hot och våld samt att det är svårt att hålla isär dessa begrepp. Forskning visar även att det innebär en särskilt utsatthet att arbeta inom psykiatrin, då psykiska sjukdomar är en bakomliggande faktor till att hot och våld uppstår. Att bli utsatt för hot och våld kan resultera i olika konsekvenser för den enskilde. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer och materialet samlades in hösten 2012 på BUP på Akademiska sjukhuset. De kvalitativa intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades noggrant. Resultatet utmynnade i fyra teman: Den diffusa gränsen mellan hot och våld som visade hur svårdefinierat hot och våld är samt var gränsen mellan dessa går. Orsaker och personalens reaktion tog upp att psykiska sjukdomar, bemötande och tvångsvård är bidragande faktorer till att hot och våld uppstår. I en hot- och/eller våldshändelse uppstår en reaktion hos personal, en ambivalens mellan att personen är psykiskt labil och att beteendet är oacceptabelt.  BUP akutens hantering och rapportering visade att personalen har olika copingstrategier när de ska hantera en hot och/eller våldssituation samt att det är olika hur rapporteringen av dessa situationer fungerar. Det sista temat Arbetsmiljön visade att det är en utsatt miljö att arbeta i och att det är viktigt att få stöd i arbetet, men huruvida personalen upplever att de får stöd ser olika ut. Det finns ett behov för att utveckla rutiner kring samtal efter en hot- och/eller våldshändelse.
