Tidigare forskning tyder på att digitala samtal och fysiska samtal inte har samma effekt. Under Covid-19 var socialrådgivare på en behandlingsenhet i södra Sverige tvungna att ändra sina fysiska samtal till digitala på grund av restriktioner och nya riktlinjer. Övergången till digitala samtal förde med sig konsekvenser enligt socialrådgivare som även uttryckte att de upplevde stress på ett annorlunda sätt under pandemin. Konsekvenserna av övergången till digitala samtal och den arbetsrelaterade stressen kommer vi att presentera i studien. Syftet med studien är att framföra hur socialrådgivare upplever att digitalisering på arbetsplatsen i samband med Covid-19 har påverkat samtalsbehandling med klienterna samt hur socialrådgivare på behandlingsenheten upplevde stress under pandemin. I arbetet används kvalitativ forskningsmetod och urvalet i studien har varit målinriktat. Datan som insamlats består av semi-strukturerade intervjuer som spelats in, transkriberats och därefter analyserats. I uppsatsen appliceras teorierna symbolisk interaktionism samt krav- och kontrollmodellen i syfte att ge en djupare förståelse för vad som ligger bakom skillnaden mellan digitala samtal och fysiska samtal och faktorer bakom stress. Resultatet av studien har påvisat att samtliga socialrådgivare som deltog upplevde att övergången till digital samtalsbehandling ledde till ett sämre behandlingsresultat för klienterna. Några faktorer som benämns är svårigheter i att bilda en allians med klienten, sämre möjligheter att upptäcka om klienter är drog- eller alkoholpåverkade och sämre förutsättningar för att läsa av kroppsspråk. Enligt socialrådgivare upplevdes en aning högre stressnivå i jämförelse med innan pandemin samt att ständiga förändringar i riktlinjer bidrog till en ny form av stress som de inte upplevt tidigare. / Previous research suggests that digital conversations and physical conversations do not have the same effect. During the covid-19 pandemic, socialworkers at a treatment unit in southern Sweden had to change their physical calls to digital ones due to restrictions and new guidelines. The transition to digital conversations brought with it consequences according to social workers who also expressed that they experienced stress in a different way during the covid-19 pandemic. We will present the consequences of the transition to digital conversations and the work-related stress in this study. The purpose of the study is to present how social counselors feel that digitization in the workplace in connection with the covid-19 pandemic has affected conversation therapy with clients and how social counselors at the treatment unit experienced stress during the pandemic. In our work, we have used a qualitative research method and the selection in our study has been targeted. The data collected consists of semi-structured interviews that were recorded, transcribed and then analyzed by us students. In the essay, we have applied the theories of symbolic interactionism and demand and control model in order to provide a deeper understanding of what lies behind the difference between digital conversations and physical conversations and factors behind stress. The results of the study have shown that all the social counselors who participated felt that the transition to digital conversation treatment led to a worse treatment result for the clients. Some factors mentioned are difficulties in forming an alliance with the client, pooreropportunities to discover if clients are under the influence of drugs or alcohol and poorer conditions for reading body language. According to social advisors, a slightly higher level of stress was experienced compared to before the pandemic and that constant changes in guidelines contributed to a new form of stress that they had not experienced before.

Background: The definition and concept of the rehabilitation differs across disciplines. However, the goals of comprehensive rehabilitation, as defined in the literature, could not be fully achieved without multidisciplinary cooperation, through which it is possible to apply a wider range of interventions, which is an important indicator in addiction treatment. The cooperation between individual fields has the potential not only in better quality care towards the target group, but it is also important to consider the possibility of better financing of care, which could lead to greater satisfaction of both users and service providers. Objectives: This diploma thesis seeks the interrelationships between theory and concept of rehabilitation in addictology, respectively in the aftercare program based on the Apolinar model of addiction treatment, and rehabilitation in physiotherapy - in terms of both theoretical anchoring and implementation of rehabilitation in practice. The objective was to map and evaluate the content of rehabilitation applied in the outpatient form of the after-care program in the women's and men's ward of substance abuse treatment at the Department of Addictology, which is based on the Apolinar model of addiction treatment. Finally, the aim was to assess how a physiotherapist could...

With this bachelor thesis we want to research the correlation between motivation and coerced addiction treatment among clients. We want to know more about what the clients think about coerced addiction treatment, what possibilities there are to create motivation to change and what the clients experiences of the motivational work is. Coerced addiction treatment has been a part of Swedish history for a long time. Even though it has changed over the years there is still the question regarding how ethical it is and also whether coerced treatment is the most effective way to help people with an addiction problem. When a person is taken against their will to enter addiction treatment it is most likely done as a last resort trying to save a life. There are no written guidelines on how each treatment-institution should work regarding treatment and motivation, it is up to every single institution itself to decide. To get a better understanding of this we have done a literature study of two doctoral dissertations that has focused on clients opinion regarding coerced treatment and motivational work. Our findings showed us that motivation during coerced treatment is very complex because there are a number of factors that play important roles. Even though the opinion from the clients regarding their own coerced treatment and the motivational work at LVM-institutions varied, it gave us the understanding that there needs to be change. There needs to be more research on how to best help and support people with addiction problems during coerced treatment.

Religiositet och andlighet tycks ha samband med fysisk och psykisk hälsa. I uppsatsen undersöks sambandet mellan andlighet och utbrändhet, två grupper behandlare jämförs och mätegenskaper hos skalorna Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs Field-Test Instrument (WHOQOL-SRPB), Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale (SIBS), Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) och Utbrändhet i arbetet (UA) undersöks. Studiedeltagarna var 38 programledare för kriminalvårdens tolvstegsprogram och 39 behandlare i ett psykoterapinätverk inom beroendevården (svarsfrekvens 61,5%). Andlighet korrelerade med personlig prestation (personal accomplishment; r = 0,315, p < 0,05). I beroendevården fanns ett samband mellan hög grad av andlighet/religiositet och högre grad av utbrändhet. Studien visar att andlighet skulle kunna ge ökat självförtroende, och genom detta påverka hälsa och allmänt välbefinnande samt att effekten av andlighet/religiositet verkar vara positiv i andliga/religiösa sammanhang men inte i mer sekulariserade miljöer. Slutligen konstateras att validiteten hos utbrändhetsmåtten kan ifrågasättas och att vidare utveckling av andlighetsmåtten bör ske.

毒品法庭自美國發展而逐漸影響世界各地，甚至成為台灣修法倡議，是晚近刑事政策的重要議題。為深入了解毒品法庭，除介紹制度的發展概況與具體內涵外，尚將進一步考掘歷史成因及改革困境，並從制度構造及程序法理的二方面剖析其所引發的爭議。最後，將問題帶回台灣，在透過實證數據理解實務現況的基礎上，將改革情勢與制度問題脈絡化進行比較研究，試圖從刑事政策的觀點提出評價性建議，以作為台灣毒品施用者處遇的策進方向。 毒品法庭於其權限範圍內，避免對於毒品施用者施加刑罰，而改採治療的態度與方法，促使其參與以治療為主、多元且細緻的處遇。在此同時，也視其表現給予懲罰或獎勵，進行嚴密監督以強化治療義務的要求，加深毒品施用者兼具病人與犯人身分的矛盾。另一方面，程序轉為合作、案主導向、問題解決，則與以往對抗、案件導向、真實發現有別。藉此反思台灣毒品施用者處遇，重要的毋寧是檢討制度的各種爭議，以及其背後所顯示的刑事政策的價值選擇。 / Drug Courts that have risen from development in the United States have had a gradual influence on the rest of the world, and have even been amended into Taiwanese law. This has been an important issue in recent discussions of criminal policy. In order to understand Drug Courts in detail, this article first introduces the background and the contents of the system, and then explores historical causes and reform dilemmas. It then analyzes the issue from the perspective of institutional structure and procedural legal principles. To then focus the issue back on Taiwan, on the basis of understanding the current state of practice through empirical data, a comparative study of the context of reform and institutional issues is conducted. Finally, this article will attempt to put forward a proposal for an evaluation from the perspective of criminal policy as a strategy for dealing with drug addicts in Taiwan. Within its jurisdiction, the Drug Court will avoid applying penalties to drug users, and instead adopt attitudes and methods that focus on meticulous and multi-faceted methods that promote participation in treatment. At the same time, they also punish or reward based on performance, carry out strict supervision aimed at strengthening requirements and treatment obligations, and deepen the contradiction between the identity of patients and prisoners among drug users. On the other hand, the transition of procedures to collaboration, case-director orientation, and problem solving is different from confrontation, case-orientation, and truth discovery. In this regard, it is important to reflect on the problems with the system and the choice of values of the criminal policy seen behind them.

Background: Drug rehabilitation is crucial for drug addicts. As much as drug rehabilitation (rehab) centres are helping in dealing with drug addiction. Some drug addicts may find that some of the drug rehabs do not meet their needs. Therefore, the study explored the experience of caregivers caring for nyaope addicts. Method: This study adopted a qualitative research approach and a case study design. The purposive sampling method was employed to select the sample. The sample comprised six caregivers. The structured interview and open-ended questionnaire were employed to collect data. An interview questionnaire was designed allowing the participants to respond at home and provide feedback. Their responses provided through this process were insufficient, participants were then requested face-to-face interviews and they agreed. Results: One of the main findings in this study was that caregiving affects the caregivers negatively. Caregiving has led to psychological and physical effects amongst the caregivers. Conclusion: A need was identified for support and awareness for the caregivers and rehabilitation centres in South Africa. This might reduce the relapse of substance abuse and help eradicate the number of substance abusers in South Africa. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology (Research Consultation))
