"Det är ovärderligt. För mig." : En undersökning om Boken kommer med fokus på livskvalitet. / "It is Invaluable. To Me." : An Investigation of the Home-Library Service with Focus on Life Quality.

Wessberg Hasselbom, Matilda January 2024 (has links)
Introduciton. The aim of this master’s thesis is to investigate whether the Library Outreach Service (Boken kommer), a home-library-service, contributes positively to how the users’ experience their life quality. Method. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with ten Boken kommer-users, a smaller qualitative survey and one interview with the librarian in charge of the home-library-service in the Swedish municipality Norrtälje. Analysis. The theoretical framework used for the analysis in this study is based on the results from two different studies that define life quality for people over the age of 65. These results are used to explain and understand the users’ experiences and perceptions of whether the service has a positive impact on their perceived quality of life. Results. The analysis identifies several themes that were brought up by the users in the interviews and in the survey. These themes covered a social aspect, to be part of the community, the access to literature, the possibility to participate in different ways and their perception of what is meaningful in their lives. These themes can all contribute to life quality.  Conclusion. The findings indicate that users find the home-library-service to contribute positively to their experienced life quality and that the service is a very important element in their lives. Limitations. As this study draws its findings from a small sample selection, general conclusions are limited and further studies of larger groups in a broader context with this perspective would make a good contribution to research. This is a two-year master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.
