Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka socialsekreterares upplevelser av arbetsrelaterad stress och hur socialsekreterarna i så fall upplever, hanterar och påverkas av arbetsrelaterad stress. För att försöka finna svar på syftet så formulerades tre frågeställningar: Vilka faktorer påverkar socialsekreterares upplevelse av stress? Hur hanterar socialsekreterarna stress relaterat till arbetet? Hur upplever socialsekreterare att eventuell arbetsplatsrelaterad stress påverkar kvaliteten på deras arbete? Fyra intervjuer genomfördes med yrkesverksamma socialsekreterare inom olika områden i olika kommuner i södra Sverige. För att tolka och förstå resultatet har jag tagit del av tidigare forskning och kunskap inom ämnet samt teorierna Karasek och Theorells krav-kontroll modell och coping. Resultatet visar på att alla socialsekreterare mer eller mindre upplever arbetsrelaterad stress i arbetet men att det beror på olika faktorer. Resultatet visar vidare att de medverkande socialsekreterarna använder sig av olika strategier för att hantera och motverka arbetsrelaterad stress.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the social workers´ experience of work-related stress and how, in that case, the social workers´ experience, manage and are affected by work-related stress. In order to try to find answers to the purpose, three questions were formulated: What factors influence the social workers´ experience of stress? How do social workers´ deal with work-related stress? How do social workers´ think that work-related stress affects the quality of their work? Four interviews were conducted with professional social workers with different tasks, in different areas in southern Sweden. In order of interpret and understand the results, I have taken advantage of previous research and knowledge of the subject as well the theories “Karasek and Theorell´s requirements-control model” and “coping”. The result shows that all social workers more or less experience work-related stress at work, but how they experience the stress depends on various factors. The result further shows that the participating social workers use different strategies to deal with, and counteract work-related stress.
