Abstract [sv]

Löve, C. Socionomlegitimation. En kvalitativ studie om socionomers syn på legitimering av yrkesgruppen. Examensarbete i socialt arbete 15 högskolepoäng. Malmöuniversitet: Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle, institutionen för socialt arbete, 2020. Socionomlegitimation har diskuterats och föreslagits under cirka femtio års tid. Studien undersöker yrkesverksamma socionomers inställning till en potentiell yrkeslegitimation. Fackförbundet SSR har flest anslutna socionomer i sitt förbund och initierade arbetet mot en socionomlegitimation på 1970-talet. Årligen skrivs motioner till regeringen med motivation till en yrkeslegitimation för socionomer, men det har ännu inte blivit aktuellt. Forskning påvisar flera effekter av en yrkeslegitimation såsom en starkare status i relation till andra yrkesgrupper men även att det ger effekter för den hierarkiska strukturen inom yrkesgruppen. Studien tittar närmre på vilka processer som krävs för att förflytta en yrkesgrupps status, vilket professionsforskningen påvisar som essentiellt för att ett yrke skall etablera sig för en legitimation. Resultatet påvisar att yrkesverksamma socionomer ser flera vinster med yrkeslegitimering. Informanternas mening sammanfaller med forskningens vinster av yrkeslegitimering.

Löve, C. Professional certification for social workers. A qualitative study on social workers view on a potential professional certification of the profession. Degree project in Social work 15 credits. Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Social Work, 2020. The discussion about a professional certification for social workers has been going on for about fifty years. This study examines professional social workers attitude to a potential professional certification. The largest union for social workers in Sweden is SSR and they initiated the work towards a professional certification in the 70-ies. Motions to the government is written yearly, but there hasn´t been any changes yet. Professional certifications bring effects as enhanced status in relation to other professions, but it also creates a stronger hierarchy within the profession, this is showed by professional research. As to be read in profession research a profession needs to improve its status in order to move towards a process of a professional certification. In this study I´ll try to visualise these processes in order to improve the knowledge of some underlying factors. The result of this study shows that social workers agrees on the fact that a professional certification is beneficial on many levels. The most obvious correlation between this study and earlier research is the effect that a professional certification would have on social workers status.
