En kvalitativ intervjuundersökning har genomförts där fem socialsekreterare intervjuats. Resultatet har sedan analyserats utifrån tidigare forskning samt kultur som tolkningsram. Undersökningen visar att socialsekreterarna anser att kunskap om kultur har en stor betydelse i deras praktiska sociala arbete. Kunskapen om kultur sågs som något som kan bidra till en vidare förståelse av olika omständigheter kring klienterna. Socialsekreterarna visade sig ha olika uppfattning om i vilken grad de ansåg sig ha kunskap om kultur då vissa ansåg att deras kunskap är tillräcklig för att kunna genomföra ett bra socialt arbete medan andra menade att de är i behov av mer kunskap. Slutligen visas att vissa av socialsekreterarna såg sin egen kultur som en viktig del i mötet med klienter medan andra inte alls var medvetna om den egna kulturen och dess påverkan på deras arbete.
