Syftet med vår studie var att synliggöra befintliga diskurser gällande våld i nära relation utifrån utredarnas resonerande inom polisen för att i nästa led synliggöra dess konsekvenser. Metoden som valdes var av kvalitativ karaktär, intervjuer hölls med tre utredare från en mellanstor stad i Sverige. Materialet bearbetades sedan med hjälp av en Foucault-inspirerad diskursanalys samt tidigare forskning som gjorts kring ämnet. Tre diskurser identifierades vilka var diskursen om könstillhörighet, normaliseringsprocessen och inställningen till teoretisk kunskap. Resultatet visar att utredarnas inställning till teoretisk kunskap är något som på flera olika sätt påverkar deras arbete vilket riskerar att leda till att utredarnas arbete bygger på otillförlitlig kunskap. / The purpose of our study was to identify existing discourses of violence in close relationships based on investigators' reasoning within the police in order to visualize its consequences in the next step. The method chosen was of a qualitative nature, interviews were held with three investigators from a medium-sized city in Sweden. The material was then processed using a discourse analysis inspired by Foucault, as well as previous research on the subject. Three discourses were identified which were the discourse of gender, the normalization process and the attitude to theoretical knowledge. The result of the study shows that the investigators' attitude towards theoretical knowledge is something that affects their work in different ways, which may adventure the fact that investigators' work is based on unreliable knowledge.

The construction of the woman exposed to violence and how she is produced in the Swedish judiciary is important to understand the view of men's violence against the woman. How the woman exposed to violence in today's context are produced by the judiciary in relation to political and media discussions are also affecting social work and its practice. The aim of the study is to, with a norm critical perspective, highlight how women represented and assessed in Swedish district court judgments. We want to investigate how the woman exposed to violence in close relationships is produced and judged in Swedish courts. The study is based on a qualitative research effort and a discourse analysis has been made of 12 district court judgments from different district courts in Sweden. Through a thematic analysis, three themes became clear: “the district court's perception of the credibility of women”, “the course of events based on women's perspectives” and “the district court's considerations in assessing the crime breach, coarse women's violence”. The chosen theoretical approach that has been used to create an understanding of our research problem is norm critical perspective and the concept of ideal crime victim. The results gave us the conclusion that in Swedish district courts there are norms about how women exposed to violence should behave.

Studiens syfte var att, utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer, studera hur kvinnor, som utsatts för våld i nära relation, upplevde stödet som de fick då de sökte hjälp. Detta gjordes utifrån en narrativ ansats med våldets normaliseringsprocess som teoretisk tolkningsmodell. Utifrån resultatet konstaterades att merparten av intervjupersonerna inte var tillfredsställda med stödet de tillhandahölls. Detta framkom genom att de gav uttryck för att ha bemötts med misstro och oförståelse för relationsvåldets komplexitet. Oavsett hur intervjupersonerna upplevde stödet, framställdes det dock av alla som oerhört viktigt, dels för att orka med uppbrottsprocessen som till exempel kunde innebära vårdnadstvister och polisutredningar, dels för att komma vidare och hitta sig själv igen när allt praktiskt var klart. Genom studien framkom att det finns ett behov av att synliggöra relationsvåldets omfattning samt sprida kunskap gällande dess komplexitet, då det skulle kunna bidra till ett bättre stöd till våldsutsatta kvinnor. / The purpose of this study was to, by qualitative interviews, examine how women subjected to domestic violence experienced the support they were given when they reached for help. This was examined through a narrative view, with the “process of normalisation of violence” as a theoretical perspective. The results of the study showed that the majority of the interviewed women were unsatisfied with the support they received. This emerged through their expressions of how they perceived a response characterised by mistrust and misunderstanding regarding the complexity of domestic violence. Regardless of how the interviewed women perceived the help, they all expressed the importance of support to endure the different processes that a break up could entail and to be able to move on by finding their identity again. The study found that there is a need to visualise the extent of domestic violence and broaden knowledge about its complexity, as it could contribute to better support for women subjected to domestic violence.

Inledning: Varje år besöker mellan 12 000 och 14 000 kvinnor öppenvården till följd av våld i nära relation. Röntgensjuksköterskan ska arbeta med personcentrerad vård i enlighet med sin kompetensbeskrivning samt implementera ny kunskap för att utvecklas. Utifrån detta ansågs det betydelsefullt att beskriva kunskapsläget inom området bemötande av kvinnor utsatta för våld. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vad som är viktigt att ta hänsyn till vid bemötande av kvinnor på röntgen utsatta för våld i nära relation och hur detta kan tillämpas i det korta mötet. Vilken kunskap om bemötandet av kvinnor utsatta för våld i nära relation finns beskriven i litteraturen? Metod: Studien utfördes som en litteraturöversikt med 12 vetenskapliga artiklar som kvalitetsgranskades, analyserades och resultatet presenterades i form av kategorier. Resultat: Sex kategorier som beskriver bemötandet och vad som påverkar hur bemötandet upplevs av kvinnorna. Bemötande, kunskap, attityder, stöd, hinder och att förhålla sig professionell. I resultatet framkommer stora brister i bemötandet av dessa kvinnor, där de hjälpsökande istället skuldbeläggs, vilket ger kvinnorna ytterligare skamkänslor. De utsatta kvinnorna är dessutom rädda att dömas av personalen och skyddar sig från dessa attityder genom att dölja våldet.  Kunskap efterfrågas av både utsatta och personal. Det framkommer attityder bland hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal som lägger skulden på kvinnorna. Kvinnorna efterfrågar stöd och personalen påtalar behovet av rutiner som stöd för att kunna ge ett gott bemötande. Hinder för att kunna bemötas kan vara frågor såsom svårigheter att kunna söka vård eller att mannen för kvinnans talan. Professionellt förhållningssätt visar sig svårgenomfört bland annat på grund av att känslor var svårhanterliga i mötet med kvinnorna. Konklusion: Det är viktigt att röntgenavdelningarna tar fram riktlinjer och rutiner för ett gott bemötande. Kunskap och samtal kring detta bör vara prioriterat för att minska negativa attityder och inspirera till förbättringsarbete som kan utveckla röntgensjuksköterskans profession. / Introduction: Every year between 12,000 and 14,000 women visit health care in relation to intimate partner violence. The radiology nurse ought to work with person centered care in accordance with their competence description and implement new knowledge to develop. Based on this, it was considered important to describe knowledge of encounter with the women. Purpose: The purpose was to describe what to consider when health personnel encounter women exposed to intimate partner violence in the radiology department and how this can be applied in the short meeting. What knowledge is described concerning encounter with the women? Method: The study was conducted as a literature review consisting of 12 scientific articles that were quality reviewed, analyzed and presented. Results: Six categories described the encounter and how the treatment of women was experienced. Encounter, knowledge, attitudes, support, obstacles, and professional conduct. The results revealed major shortcomings in the treatment of these women, when seeking help they were blamed, given a feeling of guilt and shame. The women were also afraid to be valued by the staff and protected themselves by concealing the violence. Knowledge was required by both groups. There were attitudes among healthcare professionals who blamed the women. The women demanded support and the staff wanted routines to support a good encounter. Obstacles to be treated can be issues such as difficulties in seeking care or because of the husband, who speaks for the woman. Professional approaches appeared to be difficult, among other things, since the emotions were difficult to handle in the encounter with the women. Conclusion: It is important for the radiology departments to develop guidelines and procedures to achieve a good encounter. Knowledge and discussions should be prioritized to reduce negative attitudes and inspire improvement work, that can develop the radiology nurse's profession.

The aim of the study was to seek further understanding of what school staff, social services and staff at the shelters consider to be the difficulties in the work of children's schooling when staying at shelters for abused women. The method used was qualitative semi structured interviews and the empirics consist of six interviews, two from each profession. Despite a comprehensive searching strategy, only a few studies were found that had examined the subject and those studies described the problem briefly. This indicates that the subject has been little researched and that children's schooling in shelters for abused women is a subject we have little knowledge about. The results show that there usually are no systematic routines for dealing with the issue among professionals involved. It is difficult to get a new school place for children staying in shelters for abused women. Professions involved with these children in society need more knowledge in the subject to develop a systematic approach. In future, more research on the subject and its consequences for children in shelters for abused women is needed.

Syftet med studien var att studera polisers uppfattningar kring förhållningssätt till våld i nära relation samt till hur brottstypen hanteras av poliser. I studien genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex poliser som i sitt arbete påträffade och hanterade brottstypen. Det huvudsakliga resultatet visade uppfattningar om att det är viktigt att polisen lägger fokus på brottstypen våld i nära relation men också att många poliser har negativa förhållningssätt till brottstypen. Anledningen till de negativa förhållningssätten var att brottstypen ansågs jobbig och mindre spännande eller ”oball” att hantera jämfört med andra brottstyper. Det tycktes även finnas en oförståelse för målsäganden. Majoriteten av intervjudeltagarnas uppfattningar var att poliser hellre tycktes vilja utgå från erfarenhet och rutiner än metodstöd vid hantering av brottstypen. Samtidigt var många av uppfattningen det förhållningssätt poliser har kan inverka på hur de hanterade brottstypen. / The purpose of the study was to examine police perceptions of approaches to family violence and how the type of crime is handled among the police. The study conducted semi-structured interviews with six police officers who in their work encountered and managed the type of crime. The main outcome of the study was that perceptions about the importance of the police focusing on family violence but also opposite perceptions about existing negative attitudes towards the type of crime among police officers. The negative attitudes were explained to depend on that family violence was considered difficult to deal with, less exciting or less “cool” compared with other types of crimes, and that it seemed to be an insufficient understanding for the victim. The majority of the respondents’ perceptions were that policemen seemed more willing to use experience and routines while dealing with family violence than to use some kind of method support. Simultaneously, many perceived that that the attitude of police officers may affect how they handle the crime.

The aim of the essay has been to investigate how therapists explain the causes for the occurrence of men's violence against women in intimate relations, and the opportunities and difficulties they experience during the treatment of these men. The study is based on qualitative interviews with four therapists who work with violent men. We analyzed the interviews with the help of thematic analysis which resulted in the sub-themes masculinity norms, violent experiences and powerlessness, which further created the main theme: causes of the violence. The sub-themes alliance building, motivated client, responsibility insight and gender norms in treatment created the main theme: opportunity for change. The sub-themes addiction, lack of mentalizing ability and shaming created the main theme: difficulties in treatment. The results indicate that the therapist agrees that there is no simple explanation for the occurrence of violence by men against women in intimate relations and neither a way of working against it. The results also indicate that the explanation for the occurrence of violence differs between therapists and they have some different opinions about how one should work to fight men's violence against women. / Uppsatsens syfte har varit att undersöka hur behandlare beskriver orsaker till uppkomsten av mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer samt vilka förutsättningar och svårigheter de upplever i behandlingen. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra behandlare som arbetar med våldsutövande män. Vi har analyserat intervjumaterialet med hjälp av tematisk analys som resulterade i subtemana maskulinitetsnormer, våldserfarenheter och vanmakt som utgjorde huvudtemat orsaker till våldet. Alliansbyggande, motiverad klient, ansvarsinsikt, könsnormer i behandling utgjorde huvudtemat förutsättningar för förändring. Missbruk, bristande mentaliseringsförmåga och skambeläggande utgjorde huvudtemat svårigheter i behandlingen. Resultaten tyder på att behandlarna är överens om att det inte finns någon enkel förklaring till våldets uppkomst eller ett sätt att arbeta mot det. Resultaten tyder också på att förklaringen till våldets uppkomst skiljer sig åt mellan behandlarna och de har en del skilda meningar kring hur man bör arbeta för att bekämpa mäns våld mot kvinnor.

Background: Violence in a close relationship refers to various acts that can be repeated and systematic, it occurs through physical, mental, financial, sexual violence and abuse. the suffering. Communication is the basis for all meetings, this means listening, understanding and getting closer and being able to receive the affected woman's report of violence. Aim: The aim was to describe nurses' experiences of and attitudes towards meeting women who are exposed to violence in close relationships.  Aim: The purpose was to describe nurses' experiences of and attitudes towards meeting women who have been subjected to violence in a close relationship.  Method: Literature review performed through 10 selected qualitative scientific studies. The studies were analyzed according to Friberg's method. Scientific articles were retrieved from two database Cinahl Complete and Pubmed.  Conclusion: The results of this literature review have been themed on the basis of four themes; (1) exposure to violence eats away at the nurse's strengths, (2) finding the balance between personal values and the nurse's professional role, (3) feeling understanding and hesitation in meeting women who have been subjected to violence & (4) lack of support and room for maneuver in the organization  Results: nurses described that it was difficult to meet abused women. Nurses described that it was not obvious how they would act in that situation. This was because the nurses did not understand the situation correctly, they had prejudices, fears or defense mechanisms. A conflict between themselves and their role, organizational constraints or uncontrolled stress made it difficult to work.

The transmission of Covid-19 has put Sweden in a new situation with unique challenges for the society and its population. Based on the restrictions and exhortation to stay at home during transmission of Covid-19, concern has been increased about the pandemics potential impact on domestic violence. Newspapers all around the world post warning signs for increased phone calls to social services and hotlines from women who are exposed to domestic violence. Focusing on the Swedish context, this thesis has inquired workers at social services and women's shelters who in particular support and help women, who are victims of domestic violence. The data collection has been focused on how they work with the women during the transmission of Covid-19 to get an understanding of how this might affect their day to day work. The data have been collected through semi-structured interviews and have been analysed through qualitative content analysis. The data has shown that the work has been affected in several ways: with social distance, physical distance in treatment, decreased preventive work, difficulties to reach the women who are controlled by their perpetrators, and the general work in the field with cooperation with other agencies.
