Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka skolsköterskans erfarenheter av att arbeta med psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar i mellan- och högstadiet. Metod: Urvalet av grundskolor valdes ut från samma kommun i mellersta Sverige och totalt deltog fyra kvinnliga skolsköterskor från fyra olika grundskolor. Datainsamlingen gjordes genom semistrukturerade frågor med kvalitativ ansats. Intervjuerna transkriberades ordagrant och blev analyserade med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Ur analysen framkom fyra huvudkategorier: Identifiering av psykisk ohälsa, begränsningar i arbetet mot psykisk ohälsa, prevention mot psykisk ohälsa samt förbättringsområden för identifiering av psykisk ohälsa . Resultatet visade att det var lättast att identifiera elever med psykisk ohälsa genom planerade hälsobesök där samtalet till viss del styrdes av en hälsoenkät. Genom elevhälsoteamet fick skolsköterskorna möjlighet att samverka och fånga upp elever som verkade vara i behov av hjälp. Tidsbrist upplevdes vara en stor påverkande faktor i arbetet. Skolsköterskorna uttryckte ett intresse av utökad kunskap i motiverande samtal (MI) samt att starta samtalsgrupper. Slutsats: Hälsoenkäten som användes inom elevhälsan och samverkan i elevhälsoteamet var de lättaste sätten att identifiera psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar i mellan och högstadiet. Organisatoriska faktorer som ledning och tid var avgörande för arbetet mot psykisk ohälsa. / Aim: The aim of the study was to study the school nurses experience of working with mental health illness among youth in the middle and later years of primary school. Method: The selection of primary schools was chosen from the same society in central Sweden and total four female school nurses were participating from four different primary schools. The data collection was done with qualitative approach using semistructured interviews. The interviews were transcribed literally and were analysed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in four main categories: Identification of mental health illness, limitations in the preventive work against mental health illness, prevention against mental health illness and improvement areas for identifying mental health illness . The result showed that all informants felt that it was easiest to capture students with mental health illness through the planned health visits, where the conversation was reasonably guided by a health questionnaire. Through the student health team the informants were given the opportunity to interact and capture the students who tended to be in need of help. Lack of time was perceived as a major influencing factor in the work. The school nurses expressed an interest in increased knowledge in motivational interviewing (MI) as well as starting conversation groups. Conclusion: The health questionnaire used in student health and collaboration in the student health team were the easiest ways to identify mental health illness among youth in the middle and later years of primary school. Organizational factors such as management and time were crucial for the work against mental health illness.
