The purpose of this study was to, through qualitative interviews, contribute to a deeper understanding of how collaboration between human-treating organizations, which work preventively against drug use among young people in X-municipality, continues in practice. Therefore, we also want to investigate how this collaboration is experienced within four human-treating organizations. These are the police, social services, field group and student health team at school in X-municipality. This was done with the help of nine qualitative interviews in semi-structured form. The results of the interview material were analyzed using organizational theory and previous research. From the results, we could see that collaboration is perceived as an important phenomenon where the organizations collaborate to some extent, but not as much as they would like. Where organizational factors such as regulations, personal interaction and different approaches to the social problem affect the extent to which cooperation takes place.

De senaste åren har det blivit allt vanligare att höra om barn och unga som begår, misstänks eller faller offer för kriminalitet. Det sociala arbetet står inför utmaningar i det förebyggande arbetet till följd av utvecklingen av barn och unga som befinner sig i riskzonen för kriminalitet. De senaste åren har det sociala och förebyggande arbetet i civilsamhället lyfts fram allt mer. Dock saknas kunskap om hur civilsamhällets roll i det förebyggande arbetet ser ut och vilka förutsättningarna är för att kunna förebygga kriminalitet bland barn och unga. Denna scoping review syftar till att undersöka hur delar av civilsamhället arbetar förebyggande med barn och unga som befinner sig i riskzonen för kriminalitet. Genom en litteraturgranskning fokuserar studien på att kartlägga delar av civilsamhällets förebyggande insatser samt hur dessa tar hänsyn till risk- och skyddsfaktorer för barn och unga i riskzonen. Resultatet visar att delar av civilsamhället erbjuder flera insatser som kan fungera förebyggande när rätt förutsättningar ges. Det visar även på att viss hänsyn tas till olika risk- och skyddsfaktorer i insatserna som erbjuds. / In recent years, it has become increasingly common to hear about children and young people who commit, are suspected of or fall victim to crime. Social work faces challenges in preventive work as a result of the development of youth at-risk for delinquency. In recent years, the social and preventive work in civil society has been highlighted more and more. However, there is a lack of knowledge about what the role of civil society in preventive work looks like and what the conditions are for being able to prevent crime among youth. This scoping review aims to investigate how parts of civil society work preventively with youth at-risk. Through a literature review, the study focuses on mapping parts of civil society's preventive efforts and how these take into account risk and protective factors for youth at-risk. The results show that parts of civil society offer several interventions that can function preventively when the right conditions are given. It also shows that some consideration is given to various risk and protection factors in the interventions offered.

Bakgrund: Patienter med livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar erhåller vanligtvis rådgivning kring levnadsvanor via primärvården. Förebyggande rådgivning, vilket ingår i distriktssköterskans kompetensbeskrivning, kan dock förhindra uppkomsten av livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar. Syfte: Att undersöka distriktssköterskans preventiva arbete med rådgivning avseende levnadsvanor hos vuxna som inte följs via diagnosspecifik sjuksköterskemottagning. Design: Tvärsnittsstudie Metod: Ett webbformulär konstruerades och skickades till 112 distriktssköterskor inom primärvården. Svarsfrekvensen var 48 %, totalt uppfyllde 47 kvinnliga distriktssköterskor samtliga inklusionskriterier. Medelåldern var 47 år. Resultat: Rådgivning om fysisk aktivitet gavs dagligen eller varje vecka av 49 % och ansågs enkelt eller ganska enkelt av 91 %, för kost var dessa siffror 42 % respektive 84 %. Alkohol och droger ansågs svårast och gavs i minst utsträckning. Rådgivning gavs oftast via telefon, dagligen av 20 %, men ansågs enklare vid fysiska besök. 89 % ansåg att rådgivning vid fysiska möten var enkelt eller ganska enkelt. Rådgivning uppgav 79 % att det fanns behov av och 89 % att det borde prioriteras. Slutsats: Rådgivning om levnadsvanor ansågs vara en viktig uppgift. Det gavs oftast via telefon men ansågs enklare vid fysiska besök. Distriktssköterskorna gav mer råd kring de levnadsvanor de ansåg var enklare att ge rådgivning kring. Resultatens generaliserbarhet är begränsad då svarsfrekvensen var låg. Vidare psykometrisk testning av enkäten rekommenderas / Background: Patients with lifestyle-related diseases usually receive counseling through primary care. However, preventive lifestyle counseling could prevent the development of lifestyle-related diseases and is included in district nurse’s (DN) assignment description.  Aim: To examine DN work with lifestyle counseling among adults who are not followed up via a nurse-led diagnosis-specific clinic.  Design: Cross-sectional study  Method: A web-based questionnaire was constructed and distributed to 112 DN working in primary care. Response rate was 48% and a total of 47 female DN met all inclusion criteria. Mean age was 47 years.  Result: Counseling around physical activity was given daily or weekly by 49 % and was considered easy or quite easy by 91 %, for diet these numbers were 42 % and 84 %. Drugs and alcohol were considered most difficult and less frequently counseled. Counseling was mostly given over the phone, daily by 20 %. Counseling at physical meetings was considered easier, easy or quite easy by 89 %. 79 % stated there’s a need for lifestyle counseling and 89 % that it should be prioritized.  Conclusion: Lifestyle counseling was considered an important task. It is mostly given over the telephone but considered easier at physical meetings. DN tend to give more counseling on lifestyle habits that they find easier to counsel. The generalizability of the results is limited due to the low response rate. Further psychometric testing of the questionnaire is recommended

Syftet med studien är att undersöka lärares, kuratorers och rektorers erfarenheter och upplevelser av elevers bruk av beroendeframkallande medel samt hur undervisning om dessa substanser kan bidra till ett hälsofrämjande- och förebyggande arbete. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns få studier som utforskar vilken typ av undervisning som är mest effektiv för att förhindra ungas tidiga bruk av olika substanser. För att samla in data har en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer använts. De som deltagit i intervjuerna är tre lärare, två kuratorer och en rektor. Studien baseras på delar av den sociokulturella teorin, fokus är på hur eleverna lär sig och tar till sig information. Resultatet visar att respondenterna har varierade upplevelser och erfarenheter kring elevers bruk av beroendeframkallande medel samt skilda uppfattningar om behovet av undervisning inom detta område. Samtliga respondenter är överens om att ämnet är svårt att undervisa i, men att undervisning om ämnet upplevs som positivt för det hälsofrämjande- och förebyggande arbetet. Vidare framkommer vikten av att stärka elevernas förmåga att göra självständiga val. Avslutningsvis betonar respondenterna att undervisningen måste anpassas efter elevernas ålder och behov. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the experiences and perceptions of teachers, counselors, and the principal regarding students´ use of addictive substances and how education about these substances can contribute to health-promoting and preventing efforts. Previous research has shown that there are few studies exploring which types of education is most effective in preventing early use of various substances among young people. To collect data, a qualitative method in form of semi structured interviews was used. The participants in the interviews were three teachers, two counselors, and one principal. The study is based on parts of the sociocultural theory, this study focusses on how students receive information. The results show that the respondents have varied experiences and perceptions regarding students’ use of addictive substances, as well as different opinions on the need for education in this area. All respondents agree that the subject is difficult to teach, but that education about addictive substances is seen as positive for health- promoting and preventive work. Furthermore, it emerged that many of the teachers, counselors and the principal believe it is important to strengthen students’ ability to make independent choices. In conclusion, the respondents emphasize that education must be adapted to the students’ age and needs, as these vary.

Introduction: Authorities within the health care sector have a big responsibility for public health, where health promotive and preventive work methods applies to achieve a positive public health development. A big public health problem is obesity, which is a large contributing factor to lifestyle diseases that affects both adults and children. In Sweden statistic show that every fifth child is obese. An important arena is family centres which should work for guiding and supporting off families to a better health through informing the families about healthy habits. Purpose: Investigate how three family centres in southern Sweden work health promotive and preventive with families about obesity. Method: The study was performed with help from a qualitative method. Semi-structured interviews with twelve occupational professions got to represent the result. The interviews were transcribed and evaluated with a content analysis. Results: Make healthy living habits visible, guide and educate parents, different working methods, approach to the families were meaningful for the health promotive and preventive work at the family centres. The result also highlighted challenges and difficulties in the family centres work. Conclusion: The theory KASAM could be linked to the work of the family centres, as a sense of context could be important for the work with the families to perceive comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. The visibility of people´s living habits is best done through a collaboration between several key players. The family centres work is important for the future public health, implementation of resources is therefore important.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka och följa matematiklärares resonemang kring ämnesplanens förmågor, genom problematisering av nationella provuppgifter.   Matematikundervisningen både på grundskolan och gymnasiet har visat sig vara begränsad när det gäller målstyrning av undervisningen som bygger på medvetenhet och kunskap om förmågorna. En förutsättning för att undervisningen ska kunna vara målstyrd med avseende på förmågorna ser vi är lärares kunskap och medvetenhet om desamma. Avsikten med studien är därför att ur ett utvecklingsperspektiv hitta sätt att för lärare ge ämnesplanens förmågor innebörd. De nationella proven konkretiserar flera av förmågorna, och skulle därför kunna fungera som vägledare i lärares kompetensutveckling kring förmågornas innebörd.  Undersökningen baseras på två filmade fokusgruppsdiskussioner i vilka gymnasielärare i matematik deltar. Diskussionerna utgår från nationella provuppgifter i matematik, med stegvis introducering av skolverkets definitioner av förmågorna och senare också av skolverkets bedömning av desamma.  Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgörs av ett kollegialt lärandeperspektiv och ett multimodalt och socialsemiotiskt perspektiv, som också används i den kvalitativa videoanalysen.   Studien visar att lärarnas resonemang förändras under diskussionen utan Skolverkets definitioner, så till vida att en slags överenskommelse görs, av på vilket sätt förmågorna kan tolkas. Skolverkets definitioner visade sig ha marginell inverkan på resonemangets utveckling i riktning mot Skolverkets intentioner. Skolverkets bedömning tillsammans med definitionerna fungerade däremot som utmanare till lärarnas egen tolkning och skapade genom det ett ökat resonemang. Resonemanget visade dock inte på ökad kunskap och medvetenhet kring förmågornas innebörd, som är förenligt med Skolverkets intentioner. Med stöd av forskning kring kollegialt lärande, skulle ledning av expertis på området kunnat möjliggöra ett resonemang i riktning mot intentionerna. / The aim of this study is to investigate and to monitor teachers of mathematics when they reason on the abilities as expressed in the curriculum, through problematisation of Swedish national test questions.   Teaching mathematics in Sweden has shown itself to be limited when it comes to setting objectives when based on awareness and knowledge of the abilities. One condition for the teaching to be manageable is that the teachers are aware of the abilities. The intention of this study is to find a way for the teachers through a perspective of development, where the abilities are given meaning. The national tests define many of the abilities and therefore the tests could be a guide in the teachers’ development of the reasoning of the abilities.   The investigation is based on two videotaped focus discussions by high school teachers of mathematics. These discussions are based on national test questions, where the teachers are gradually introduced to the national educational agency’s (henceforth Skolverket) definitions of the abilities and assessments that are given by Skolverket. The theoretical framework of the study is based on collegial teaching perspective and a multimodal- and social semiotic perspective, which is also being used in the qualitative video analysis.   The study shows that the teachers’ reasoning changes during the discussions without Skolverket’s definitions, and the teachers reach a consensus on how the abilities should be interpreted. Skolverket’s definitions had only marginal effects on the teachers’ reasoning regarding the intentions of the abilities. However, the teachers’ interpretations were challenged by the assessments which resulted in an increase in the teachers’ reasoning and interpretations. But the outcome of the study has not given any convincing evidence that an actual increase in knowledge nor awareness of the abilities has occurred. According to research into collegial learning, experts in this field would have been able to support more developed reasoning in line with the intentions.

Skolan har ett ansvar att arbeta förebyggande mot sexuella trakasserier. Trots detta visar undersökningar på att elever uppfattar att sexuella trakasserier förekommer på skolan, samtidigt som lärare uppfattar sin kompetens i sex- och samlevnadsundervisning som bristfällig. Genom #metoo fick sexuella trakasserier ett genomslag världen över. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur det förebyggande arbetet mot sexuella trakasserier bedrivs i grundskolan samt om sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen har förändrats sedan #metoo. Studien baseras på kvalitativ metod där data har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuer har genomförts med fem NO-lärare som undervisar i årskurs 6-9 från olika grundskolor i Stockholms län, Västmanlands län samt Uppsalas län. En manifest innehållsanalys tillämpades för att analysera intervjumaterialet. Resultatet visar att arbetet mot sexuella trakasserier främst sker under sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen, i form av diskussioner och övningar för att främja en personlig integritet hos eleverna. Lärarna uppfattar att de inte prioriterar sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen lika mycket som de skulle vilja. Elevhälsoteamet bidrar till ett stöd för lärarna genom rådgivning. Lärarna uppfattar att sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen har förändrats sedan #metoo, med mer levande diskussioner i klassrummet om framför allt sexuellt samtycke. Slutligen visar resultatet på att lärarna belyser att arbetet mot sexuella trakasserier är viktigt, däremot uppfattar de ett behov av kompetensutveckling inom sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen och en mer ämnesintegrerad undervisning. / The school has a responsibility to work preventively against sexual harassment. However, surveys show that students feel that sexual harassment is occurring at school, while teachers perceive their skills in sex and cohabitation as inadequate. Through #metoo, sexual harassment had a worldwide impact. The purpose of this study is to investigate how preventive work against sexual harassment is carried out in primary school and whether sex and cohabitation education has changed since #metoo. The study is based on a qualitative method where data has been collected through semi-structured interviews. Interviews have been conducted with five NO teachers who teach grades 6-9 from various primary schools in Stockholm County, Västmanland County and Uppsala County. A manifest content analysis was applied to analyze the interview material. The result shows that the work against sexual harassment is mainly done during sex and cohabitation education, in the form of discussions and exercises to promote the personal integrity of the students. Teachers feel that they do not prioritize sex and cohabitation education as much as they would like. The student health team contributes to support the teachers through counseling. Teachers feel that sex and cohabitation education has changed since #metoo, with more lively discussions in the classroom about, especially regarding sexual consent. Finally, the results show that the teachers emphasize that the work against sexual harassment is important, on the other hand, they experience a need for skills development in sex and cohabitation education and a more subject-integrated teaching.

Ideologisk motiverad våldsbejakande extremism är ett resultat av en radikaliseringsprocess. Detta är ett stort problem och skolan har ett ansvar att arbeta preventivt mot detta problem. Syftet är att göra en systematisk litteraturstudie om hur skolan och lärare kan arbete på ett framgångsrikt sätt i syfte att minska riskerna för radikalisering. För att göra detta är det viktigt att ha koll på vilka faktorer som kan leda till radikalisering, vilka arbetsmetoder som har en preventiv effekt. Detta arbete är viktigt eftersom den svenska skolan har en central uppgift att fostra aktiva och demokratiska samhällsmedborgare. Detta är ett stort område och aktiva forskare har olika synsätt på radikaliseringsprocessen vilka presenteras i form av ett analysschema. Radikalisering sker till följd av att en individ utsätts för riskfaktorer sprungna ur psykiska och sociala problem. Det kan exempelvis handla om mental ohälsa, polarisering eller uppfostran. För att arbeta preventivt mot att elever radikaliseras har ett antal olika program som utformats. Exempel på sådana program är British prevent och Toleransprojektet. Dessa program innehåller framgångsfaktorer, detta innebär att vissa sätt att arbeta på eller vissa områden att arbeta kring har en preventiv effekt mot radikalisering. Framgångsfaktorerna kan bland annat innefatta värdegrundsarbete, relationskompetens hos lärare eller ökad tolerans bland eleverna.

Background: Health-related infections (VRI) have a negative impact on public health and cause suffering for the patient and costs to society. Problematization: VRI is a patient safety problem and risks affecting both patient and nurse. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe nurses' experiences of preventive work against healthcare-associated infections. Method: A literature review based on 11 articles based on a qualitative method was analyzed through thematization. Results: The results showed that the nurses had varied attitudes to hygiene and prevention of infections. Some experienced the need for training to better prevent infections, while others showed different considerations for maintaining hygiene in the workplace, depending on previous experience and the opportunities offered by the nursing environment. The nurses experienced a challenging work environment with a high workload and a lack of work motivation. They wanted their nursing environment to be upgraded to increase the chances of infection prevention. Conclusion: One conclusion and implication were that nurses need to take more consideration to each patient's individual need in the prevention work against infections. Continued research can examine patients 'experiences of nurses' work towards VRI.

The aim of this study was to investigate how school staff work to counteract sexual harassment and abuse of children, 6 to 16 years of age, online and in real life. The aim of this study was also to investigate the role of norms and norm-creating processes regarding sexual harassment and abuse in school staff’s stories. This study is based on nine semi-structured interviews, conducted with school staff such as teachers, social educators and counselors, who work in primary school. The study's theoretical starting points are norm- critical analysis, professional theory and the masculinity theory. Results showed that school staff mainly use norm-critical conversations. These conversations aim to involve students to reflect on their role in the establishment of norms. Through discussions, lessons and value exercises, school staff question destructive norm systems, students' behaviors and attitudes, what is okay and what is not. The staff lacks routines for how to deal with sexual harassment and abuse that takes place online. The results of the study indicate that the preventive work needs to include more knowledge about social media and that the school's core values also needs to include attitudes, norms and behaviors on social media. A solution, according to school staff, is for students to leave their mobile phones with the staff before each lesson so that they are not affected by them during this time. School staff believe that the preventive work around sexual harassment and abuse, that takes place online, is about questioning behaviors and enabling students to have the courage tell adults about what happens among students. It emerges that norm- setting processes are a central part of school staff’s work to counteract sexual harassment and abuse. School staff experience some organizational difficulties, such as resources and time, to be able to work with norm-critic analyses. A challenge they face is to involve other professional groups, to prioritize this together and work more preventively. Another challenge is also found among the collegial work, where certain professional groups feel that this kind of analyses needs to apply to the entire organization and not only to individuals within the school. In addition to the organizational challenge, school staff experience that a major challenge is found among students' attitudes, behaviors and values, especially among boys.
