The aim of this study was to examine school counselors' experience working with high school students' psychosocial health during spring 2020 when school was online. The empirical data consists of qualitative interviews with nine school counselors. The result showed that school counselors used their discretion at a greater extent to help and support their students during spring 2020. They also said that the online communication made it easier for some students to contact the counselors. The school counselors said that there were some students that dislike the online way of communicating and in these cases the school counselors made other arrangements for them. Furthermore, the school counselors could see that virtual learning had an impact on the students psychosocial health mainly due to the lack of everyday routines and social contact with other students. The results of the interviews were analyzed using the theoretical concept of discretion and the professional meeting. The conclusion states that school counselors need to incorporate digital communication in their everyday work even when school is not online to be able to meet the needs of every student. It also shows the great impact school has on students' psychosocial health.

Introduktion: Hundar fyller en stor funktion för människor. De ger förutom motion även glädje, kärlek och livskvalitet. Forskning visar att det är hälsofrämjande för befolkningen att genomföra aktiviteter med ett hundteam, en hundförare med en social tjänstehund. Hitintills sker nästan inga aktiviteter digitalt så denna studie undersökte hundförares åsikter rörande digitalt arbete med social tjänstehund. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad hundförare ser för möjligheter och utmaningar med digitaliseringen i det hälsofrämjande arbetet med social tjänstehund. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med en induktiv ansats som analyserades med en innehållsanalys. Teorin som användes i analysen var Technology Acceptance Model ”TAM” och hade teoretiskt hälsofrämjande utgångspunkt med principerna delaktighet, hållbarhet, maktgörande och jämlikhet. Informanterna rekryterades genom ändamålsenligt urval och en genom ett snöbollsurval. Det var sex hundförare som arbetade med sociala tjänstehundar som intervjuades. Resultat: Det framkom fyra kategorier: Olika möjligheter att arbeta digitalt med hund, Utmaningar i digitalt arbete med hund, Digitalt arbete utan hund innebär möjligheter och Dilemma med digital teknik som tillsammans bildade temat Digitaliseringens möjligheter, utmaningar och dilemman behöver balanseras mot det fysiska mötets betydelse. Slutsats: Det finns utvecklingsmöjligheter för hälsofrämjande digitalt arbete med social tjänstehund där robotar är ett komplement i folkhälsoarbetet. Det är viktigt att hitta en balans mellan det fysiska mötet och digitala interaktioner. Det ska underlättas för människor att uppnå en god och jämlik hälsa. / Introduction: Dogs fulfill a great function in humans. In addition to exercise, they also provide joy, love and quality of life.
