En insats olik andra : En kvalitativ studie om boendestödjares roll / A service unlike others : A qualitative study about the role of support in daily living workers

The purpose of this study was to increase the knowledge of how social workers who work with support in daily living (SIDL) view their professional role, their work assignments and the obstacles and possibilities in their work. This study aims to answer what social workers within SIDL do in their work and how they view their role, what obstacles and possibilities they face, what the organizational conditions look like as well as how they experience SIDL has changed over time. Data was collected through 6 semi-structured interviews with social workers who work with SIDL. The interviews were inductively analyzed. New Public management (NPM) was later applied as a theoretical framework to better understand the results. Five themes have been identified: the shell of SIDL, the core of SIDL, a catch-all service, work environment and top-down management within the organization. The result of this study shows that pedagogy and flexibility are some of the core elements in SIDL, and that NPM is not compatible with these core elements. The results also indicate a stronger presence of NPM as governing logic over time.
