”We must think that we are doing the best we can” : A qualitative study about socialworkers' experiences of working with young adult who practice violence in couple relationships (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur arbetet med unga vuxna som utövar våld i parrelationer hanteras inom socialtjänsten. Uppsatsen syftade även till att undersöka socialarbetares upplevelser av implementeringsprocesser, hinder och möjligheter. För att studera detta användes en kvalitativ ansats i form av sju intervjuer med socialarbetare. Datamaterialet analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Ur innehållsanalysenframträdde tre huvudteman med tillhörande två underteman vardera. Resultatet analyserades med teorin Normalization Process Theory samt teorin kring gräsrotsbyråkraters handlingsutrymme. Av resultatet framkom att individens behov och ett gott bemötande spelaren viktig roll i behandlingen. Vidare framkom det av resultatet att lagkravet hade uppmärksammats på olika sätt i verksamheterna samt att ledningen hade en viktig betydelse i implementeringsprocessen. Avslutningsvis framkom det av resultatet att det var svårt att nå unga som utövar våld i parrelationer. Det beskrevs handla om upplevda skamkänslor hos berörd målgrupp, att de hade svårt att formulera sina behov och att det rådde brist på forskning och beprövade metoder. När det gällde möjligheter i arbetet beskrevs detta handla om marknadsföring, samverkan och snabb hjälp. Studiens slutsatser var att det krävs mer forskning för att utveckla anpassade metoder för unga vuxna som utför våld. En central roll i en implementeringsprocess ansågs ledningen ha, likaså en förtroendefull relation till medarbetare.Marknadsföring är av vikt för att bättre kunna nå målgruppen. 

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this essay was to investigate how the work with young adults who practice violence in couple relationships is handled within social services. The essay also aimed to investigate social workers' experiences of implementation processes, obstacles and opportunities. A qualitative approach was used in form of seven interviews with social workers. The data was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. From content analysis, three main themes emerged and were presented based on two sub-themes each. The result was analyzed with the Normalization Process Theory and the theory about street-level bureaucrats' room for action. The results showed that the individual's needs and good treatment played an important role in the treatment. The results showed that the legal requirement had been noticed in different ways and that management had an important role in the implementation process. It emerged from the results that it was difficult to reach young people who practiced violence in couple relationships. It was described as perceived feelings of shame among the target group, they had difficulty articulating their needs and there was a lack of research and proven methods. Opportunities in the work was described as marketing, collaboration and quick help. The study's conclusions were that more research is needed to develop adapted methods for young adult perpetrators of violence. Management was a central role in an implementation process, as was a relationship of trust to employees. Marketing is important to better reach the target group.
