Att vara i mellanrummen - där ingen annan är : En kvalitativ studie om hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorns roll och emotionella arbete inom palliativ vård för barn / To be in between - where no one else is : A Qualitative Study on the Role and Emotional Labor of Healthcare Counselors in Pediatric Palliative Care

Description

This study aimed to investigate the role, possibilities, challenges and emotional labor of Healthcare Counselors in pediatric palliative care. Through semi-structured interviews with five counselors, a thematic analysis was conducted. The findings reveal a broad and dynamic role, partially unclear, allowing individual shaping. Additionally, the study highlights counselors' capacity to support families during severe crises and discussions about end-of-life matters. The work is both meaningful and emotionally challenging, and coping theory illustrates how counselors manage their emotions using problem-focused and emotional coping strategies. The conclusions emphasize the relevance for counselors, collaboratingprofessions and management in pediatric palliative care.
