Abstract [sv]

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka anställda socialsekreterares upplevelse och copingstrategier gällande arbetsrelaterad utsatthet. Med utsatthet har fysiskt- och psykiskt våld avsetts. Utsatthet bland socialarbetare har varit ett ökande fenomen de senaste åren och antalet sjukskrivningar har med detta också ökat. Studien baseras på en kvalitativ metod där intervjuer med fyra socialsekreterare som arbetar inom missbruksområdet ligger i fokus. Med stöd av copingteorin analyseras informanternas utsagor kring hur de hanterar arbetsrelaterat våld. Forskningen visar att socialsekreterarna upplever både fysiskt och psykiskt arbetsrelaterat våld, men i en mindre skala än vad de förväntar sig. Informanterna beskriver främst att de upplever fysiskt våld mot döda ting och psykiskt våld i form av verbala aggressioner. Socialsekreterarna beskriver några situationer de varit med om som upplevts obehagliga eller stressande och hur det har påverkat deras mående. Genom intervjuerna framkommer också hur informanterna förebygger och hanterar svåra situationer som kan rendera i våld.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to examine how employed social service workers experience work related exposedness and how they cope with it. By exposedness means physical and psychic violence. Exposedness amongst social workers have been an increasing phenomena over the past few years and in connection, the numbers of social workers reporting in sick have increased. The study is based on a qualitative approach where interviews with four social service workers are in focus. With support from the coping theory, the informant’s dictums are analysed in terms of how they cope with work related violence. The research shows that the social service workers experience both physical and psychic work related violence, but in a lesser extent than they expected. The informants describes mainly that they experience physical violence with or against objects, and psychic violence in terms of verbal aggressions. The social service workers describes a few painful and stressful incidents they have been through and how these situations affected them. The interviews also show in which way the informants try to prevent and deal with harsh situations that could end in violence.
