Abstract [en]

This thesis explores social workers' perspectives on unaccompanied minors’ mental health and their experiences during their asylum process in Sweden. Conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews and applying stress appraisal and a sense of coherence theories, the thesis sought to understand what experiences and challenges the unaccompanied minors confront during their asylum process. And how that impact their well-being and mental health condition. The results show social workers perceptions, on how the Swedish asylum process produced psychological stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, lack of abilities to cope with stressful situations, traumas, and behavioral changes for the unaccompanied minors' well-being. As indicated by the researcher, the unaccompanied minors undergoing the asylum procedure are exposed to a low sense of coherence and mental health problems.
