Att göras delaktig i sin egen tvångsvård : En kvalitativ studie om hur personal på särskilda ungdomshem arbetar för att göra ungdomar delaktiga i sin behandling

The ultimate treatment is when the person actually wants to make a change, this is often not the case for the youths that get placed at an institution for substance use problems. This thesis examines the participation in youth care through looking into how the staff in youth care make boys aged 16-21 at a closed institution to participate in their treatment, and if the participation has a meaning for the treatment. This thesis uses a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The theory of self-efficacy has been used to gain an understanding for the results of the thesis. Treatment staff from a department who works with this target group has been interviewed. The results showed that the staff works with motivation, respect and are trying to create a good treatment relationship with the youths. The staff thinks it’s positive that the youths can affect their treatment, but they’re also saying that the treatment the youths have to participate in can’t be affected. The staff thinks this is good because treatment for their substance use is the reason they are placed at the institution. Therefore the staff tries to motivate the youths to participation. At last the thesis shows that participation is the key to go through with treatment and therefore become drug free.
