“It’s us volunteer together who are receiving and giving support which will be able to make changes” : A qualitative study of female youth shelter volunteers given and received support in working with intimate partner violence

Reinwalds, Johanna January 2024 (has links)
Intimate partner violence is a global health issue to women’s rights and women can be victims of this violence at an early age. Literature shows that there needs to be a further understanding of the people who support these young women. This article presents a qualitative study where the aim of the study was to explore female youth shelter volunteers’ perspective of the support, they give to victims of intimate partner violence and the support they themselves receive in this role. To investigate this, 12 volunteers from various female youth shelters in Sweden took part in digital semi structured interviews. The material was coded through a thematic analysis where three main themes was displayed. The first theme was (1): Giving support by acknowledging the victim. The second (2) was: Drawing support from social connections with other volunteers. The third (3) theme were: The relation between giving and receiving support is intertwined. These themes included various subthemes. This study can be useful in educating and providing knowledge of the circumstances of female youth shelter volunteers views of the support they provide and themselves see as importance of access to. Findings may be beneficial to authorities, policy makers, volunteering organizations and public health.
