Bakgrund: Barn har rätt att växa upp under trygga förhållanden utan utnyttjande eller våld. Tyvärr far barn illa på många sätt, vilka är en utmaning att identifiera. Distriktssköterskan har en skyldighet enligt lag att orosanmäla till socialtjänsten då ett barn misstänks fara illa, dock finns det försvårande faktorer som påverkar anmälningsbenägenheten. Det är svårt att identifiera riskfaktorer för barn i fara under korta vårdmöten på vårdcentral. Samtidigt åligger det distriktssköterskan att arbeta på ett familjecentrerat sätt och ta hela familjens mående i beaktande. Syfte: att beskriva distriktssköterskors erfarenheter av att få kännedom om eller misstänka att ett barn far illa. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats, som analyserades med konventionell innehållsanalys. Individuella intervjuer över telefon eller video hölls med 12 distriktssköterskor från varierande arbetsplatser inom primärvården, med erfarenhet från vårdcentral. Resultat: I resultatet framkom ett övegripande tema: barn i fara är ett komplext ämne för distriktssköterskan. Två kategorier framträdde i resultatet: distriktssköterskans samlade kompetens om barn som far illa samt faktorer som påverkar anmälningsbenägenheten negativt. Distriktssköterskorna såg orosanmälan som en plikt, ibland saknades dock rätt förutsättningar. Det gjorde att distriktssköterskorna kunde tvivla på bedömningen och undvika orosanmälningar. Ett familjecentrerat arbetssätt underlättade. Slutsats: Inför beslut om orosanmälan behöver distriktssköterskan kartlägga familjens situation och barnets utsatthet, eftersom det oftast inte är tydligt att barnet far illa. För att känna trygghet i professionen behöver distriktssköterskan rätt förutsättningar på arbetsplatsen. Arbetsmomentet underlättas om distriktssköterskan har färdigheter i kommunikationstekniker med barn och föräldrar. Ytterligare insatser i form av samverkan med socialtjänsten behövs för att stärka distriktssköterskans anmälningsbenägenhet.

In modern European society, there is not the slightest doubt that all people, regardless of gender, age, race, and health status have the same rights as guaranteed, which are called human rights. According to the existing laws and agreements (referred to in the work) and according to the generally accepted rules, the human rights are inalienable, with the exception of serious and precisely specified reasons. This work deals with the problem of how to balance this elementary right with the fact that for people with cognitive impairment it is sometimes necessary to carefully consider some form of restriction of their rights. The aim of this work is to find a definition of the human rights for the elderly with cognitive impairment. Secondary objectives are to describe the social services standards in relation to human rights and the subjects who are involved in supervising the observance of the rights, and the current status. The selected issues were viewed through the implementation theory, the concept of street-level bureaucracy, and the quality of life. The thesis is based on analysis of available secondary data and expert interviews. The acquired data show that although in the Czech Republic there are a number of institutions dealing with human rights, only a few of them are concerned with the rights of...
