Den här studien handlar om hur kvinnliga sjöbefäl själva ser på möjligheten att kombinera familjelivet med sjömansyrket. Det finns många sjömän som tvivlar på möjligheten att kombinera familjelivet och sjömansyrket. Vissa hinder finns för kvinnorna, som är de som är gravida. Ett av de stora hindren är transportstyrelsens föreskrifter om fartygsbefäls behörigheter. Ett annat hinder kan vara personliga orsaker, som gör det svårt för de kvinnliga sjöbefälen att lämna sina barn och gå ut till sjöss igen. Syftet är att se hur de kvinnliga sjöbefälen själva ser på möjligheten att bilda familj och kombinera det med sjömansyrket. Metoden som användes för att besvara syftet var att ta del av grundad teori och genomföra kvalitativa intervjuer. Intervjuer har gjorts med kvinnliga befäl med och utan barn. Vidare gjordes intervjuer med en personalpurser som arbetar med personalfrågor och en kvinna som arbetar som restaurangchef ombord och har barn. Studiens slutsats är att det är möjligt att kombinera familjelivet med sjömansyrket, men risken är att man har svårt att klättra på karriärstegen och kanske får stå tillbaka i karriären. Det behövs en stabil grund hemma för att kunna åka ut på sjön och jobba. / This study is about female officers view at the possibility of combining family life with the seafaring profession. There are many sea officers who doubt the possibility to combine family life and the seafaring profession. One of the major obstacles is the Swedish Transport Agency regulation for vessel. Another obstacle can be personal obstructer who gives the female sea officers problem to leave their children home and go out working at sea again. The aim of the study was to research the female officers´ views at the possibility of starting a family and if that impedes their career opportunities. Interviews were carried out with female officers with and without children. Interviews were carried out with a staff purser who works with personnel issues and a woman who works as a restaurant manager on board. The method used to answer was to partake of grounded theory and conduct qualitative interviews. The study led to the conclusion that it is possible to combine family life with the seafaring profession, but the risk exist that one has difficulty climbing the career ladder and might have to stand back. Obviously you need to have a solid foundation at home to be able to go out and work at sea.

Yes / Evidence for early intervention and prevention-based approaches for im-proving social and emotional health in young children is robust. However, rates of participation in programmes are low. We explored the dynamics which affect levels of community readiness to address the issues of social and emotional health for preg-nant women, young children (0-4 years) and their mothers.Setting:A deprived inner‐city housing estate in the north of England. The estate falls within the catchment area of a project that has been awarded long-term funding to address social and emotional health during pregnancy and early childhood.Methods:We interviewed key respondents using the Community Readiness Model. This approach applies a mixed methodology, incorporating readiness scores and qualitative data. A mean community readiness score was calculated enabling the placement of the community in one of nine possible stages of readiness. Interview transcripts were analysed using a qualitative framework approach to generate con-textual information to augment the numerical scores.Results:An overall score consistent with vague awareness was achieved, indicating a low level of community readiness for social and emotional health interventions. This score suggests that there will be a low likelihood of participation in programmes that address these issues.Conclusion:Gauging community readiness offers a way of predicting how willing and prepared a community is to address an issue. Modifying implementation plans so that they first address community readiness may improve participation rates. / Better Start Bradford
