- Background: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child prohibits all forms of violence against children. Sweden was early in introducing a ban on disciplinary violence; however, difficulties have been noted in identifying children in need of protection and providing help for children exposed to violence.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the social services' police reporting and children's access to protection and support in cases of physical and sexual child abuse.Methods: The sample consisted of 291 child welfare reports from three Swedish municipalities. Data were collected from child welfare reports, investigations, and child social records and analyzed using quantitative content analysis.Results: A majority of the cases, including cases with a high indication for police reporting, were not reported to the police by the social services. Although the child in 60.1 % of cases provided information about violence, 70.7 % of all child welfare investigations were completed without support measures, and only 8.2 % led to protection or support linked to violence. Children's participation was limited, suggesting inadequate conditions for children's access to protection and support.Conclusions: Children's right to protection against violence requires the recognition of children as active participants with access to safe participation. Failure to report suspected crimes against children risks minimizing acts of violence or making violence invisible. Difficulties in handling conflicts of interest between children and parents risk neither protection nor support being provided for the child.

- OBJECTIVE: Although there has been an emphasis on developing knowledge regarding recovery in Sweden, it is unclear to what extent this has been translated into a recovery orientation in the provision of mental health services. Instruments, which present the components of recovery as measurable dimensions of change, may provide a framework for program development. Involving users is an essential factor in the utilization of such tools. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Recovery Self-Assessment (RSA) measure and its potential for being utilized in a Swedish context.METHODS: The sample consisted of 78 participants from 6 community mental health services targeting people with serious mental illnesses in a municipality in Sweden. They completed the RSA at the study baseline and two weeks later. User panels participated in the translation and administration of the RSA and the reporting of results.RESULTS: The Swedish version of the RSA had good face and content validity, satisfactory internal consistency, and a moderate to good level of stability in test-retest reliability. The user panels contributed to establishing validity and as collaborators in the study.CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Establishing the RSA as a valid and reliable instrument with which to focus on the recovery orientation of services is a first step in beginning to study the types of interventions that may effect and contribute to recovery oriented practice in Sweden. © 2015 APA, all rights reserved

Establishing a Recovery Orientation in Swedish Mental Health Services : From attitudes to instruments.
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: Although there has been an emphasis on developing knowledge of recovery in Sweden, it is unclear to what extent this has been translated into a recovery orientation in the provision of mental health services. Educational initiatives focused primarily on changing attitudes have not produced concrete outcomes. Instruments that define the components of recovery as measurable dimensions of change may provide a framework for implementing recovery-oriented services. Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of instruments which measure a recovery orientation in services could provide program level outcome indicators, that could point to concrete needs for change. An additional aim was to study the contribution of peer support workers to this process. Methods: Two internationally tested and validated instruments were distributed to 85 clients from 6 community mental health services targeting people with a diagnosis of psychosis in a municipality in Sweden. These focused respectively on the recovery orientation of services (RSA) and the recovery orientation of relationships with the primary contact person (Inspire). An additional instrument (RKI) was distributed to all staff at these clinics to assess their knowledge of recovery paradigms. Peer support workers participated in the translation, administration and reporting of results. Results: The instruments were translated to Swedish, tested and found to have acceptable psychometric properties. The reports produced from these instruments highlighted specific areas for improvement which these user assessments had indicated. These included for example; opportunities to influence services and care plans, to receive support for activities outside of psychiatry, to have their strengths included in assessments and to have more access to experience-based knowledge. The peer support workers provided valuable support to the process and were additionally seen by the clinic staff as a valuable resource in future work. Conclusions: Instruments which measure a recovery orientation in mental health services can contribute to a focus on specific knowledge, attitudinal and skill gaps that service organisations can target in their quality development activities. In the present study, staff were more accepting of this feedback since it came directly from their clients and was collected and presented systematically

Ett återhämtningsorienterat arbetssätt i Jönköpings län : erfarenher från ett uppföljningsarbete
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under de senaste åren har forskning om återhämtning från psykisk ohälsa resulterat i ny kunskap som fått relevans för såväl socialtjänstens som psykiatrins verksamhetsfält. Allt fler verksamheter som ger stöd och vård till människor med psykisk ohälsa syftar att bli mer återhämtningsinriktade. Det innebär att verksamheter fokuserar mer på insatser som främjar individens önskemål och delaktighet, och mindre på omsorgsinriktade insatser som främst fokuserar på symtom eller funktionsnedsättning. De brukare som beskriver sin återhämtning lyfter fram delaktighet, hopp för framtiden, meningsfullhet och egenmakt som centrala i den individuella återhämtningsprocessen. Det utbildningsarbete som sedan 2010 har bedrivits i Jönköpings län kring ett återhämtningsinriktat arbetssätt, dialogutbildningar, resurspersoner och återhämtningsombud, ligger i linje med nationell och internationell forskning och utveckling. Syftet med dessa utbildningar har varit att utveckla värderingar och attityder i socialtjänst och psykiatri för att främja brukares återhämtning samt att omvandla återhämtningsperspektivet till konkreta arbetssätt. Under hösten 2013 kontaktades författarna till denna rapport av representanter från Regionförbundet i Jönköping för en diskussion om hur ett återhämtningsperspektiv kan omvandlas till konkreta arbetssätt. Återhämtningsombud hade utbildats och varit aktiva i de dialogutbildningar som genomförts. Man ville nu genomföra ett utvärderingsarbete av dialogutbildningarna för att undersöka vilken betydelse de hade på personalens förhållningssätt och bemötande, samt studera om det hade haft någon betydelse på brukarnas upplevelser av de insatser de får från psykiatri och socialtjänst. Föreliggande rapport är ett resultat av det utvärderingsarbetet.

Obstacles and possibilities for implementing SDM in Swedish mental health services : Supporting interactivity and participation
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Introduction: Despite Swedish health care policy, which emphasizes patient participation in the planning of health care services, few programs have concrete methods for achieving this goal. Previous studies have shown that staff attitudes and systems which maintain power differentials, create obstacles for achieving participation despite methods such as SDM.The purpose of the study was to explore implementing SDM with an interactive digital decision tool, designed for users in community mental health services in Sweden. The tool was specifically developed, in collaborative research with users, to overcome disempowering experiences as they attempt to participate in treatment decisions.Method: A process evaluation design (Moore et al. 2015) was utilized in order to investigate obstacles and possibilities for a structured intervention to facilitate participation in decision making. The design utilized in the study included collecting qualitative and quantitative data focused on three identified evaluation components; Context, Implementation and Mechanism of impact.Results: Staff considered that SDM was most appropriate for formal treatment planning and that the use of the digital decision tool, which enabled interactive communication between staff and users, did support the user to be prepared for decisions, as well as helping staff to stay focused on user wishes.SDM was most often used voluntarily by each staff member, based on their experience and attitude, rather than a common practice for the service. Another barrier concerned capacity, with staff sometimes feeling they did not have formal power regarding treatment planning decisions, and expressing doubt as to the patient's willingness and ability to participate in decisions.Discussion: The results suggest that contextual barriers to implementing shared decision making can be addressed by utilizing interactive decision tools which concretely structure the interaction between users and staff and are connected to formally required treatment planning processes that are essential for user participation.

- Background: Despite the potential impact of shared decision making on users satisfaction with care and quality in health care decisions, there is a lack of knowledge and skills regarding how to work with shared decision making among health care providers.Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of three instruments that measure varied dimensions of shared decision making, based on self-reports by clients, in a Swedish community mental health context.Method: The study sample consisted of 121 clients with experience of community mental health care, and involved in a wide range of decisions regarding both social support and treatment. The questionnaires were examined for face and content validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity.Results: The instruments displayed good face and content validity, satisfactory internal consistency and a moderate to good level of stability in test-retest reliability with fair to moderate construct correlations, in a sample of clients with serious mental illness and experience of community mental health services in Sweden.Conclusions: The questionnaires are considered to be relevant to the decision making process, user-friendly and appropriate in a Swedish community mental health care context. They functioned well in settings where non-medical decisions, regarding social and support services, are the primary focus. The use of instruments that measure various dimensions of the self-reported experience of clients, can be a key factor in developing knowledge of how best to implement shared decision making in mental health services.
