Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) appears promising in order to strengthen both interprofessional team work and the client´s involvement in his/her care processes. It is therefore of interest to implement EBP in the community care for the aged. But implementation is not always a simple and straightforward process; it may face resistance or difficulties. Factors such as usability, adaptations, barriers, fidelity, and anticipated impact need to be studied when implementing EBP in a new context. Aim: To evaluate the implementation of EBP in community health and social care for the aged in a Swedish setting. This includes the study of the implementation process as well as the impact of EBP on interprofessional teamwork and the care receivers' experiences of care quality. Methods: An explanatory case study in two urban districts in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, where the implementation of EBP is delivered as a collaborative project with a tailored multifaceted implementation strategy. Data will be collected through documentary information, observations, focus groups, interviews, and a survey, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Results: The collaborative project is on-going with three facilitators using a multifaceted implementation strategy including cooperation between researchers and users, education/learning, and facilitation. Data collection has commenced. Initial experiences reveal that the introductory phase, containing time for persons involved in the collaborative project to get to know each other, each other's areas of expertise and respective organizations, took longer than expected. Also, different care-professions have experienced thus far conducted educational activities in different ways, and some express limited ability to prioritize project activities. Conclusion: The future results of this explanatory case study may be useful for gaining knowledge of and understanding the implementation of EBP in community care for the aged, and to improve the quality of care, support and rehabilitation of older persons.

Developing international virtual student exchange to enhance theory-practice transfer

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to describe our experiences designing a short-term virtual student exchange between Germany and Sweden and to discuss the implications of these experiences. Quantitative and qualitative material from three semesters of student evaluations relating to a course on the global aspects of social work and health in times of crisis is analyzed. The course focused on theory-practice transfer, ethnographic methods, and global citizenship, taking pedagogical and didactic inspiration from problem-based learning and co-constructive pedagogy. Our analysis concentrates on developments to the course made on the basis of student evaluations; it directs attention to the fact that teachers needed to balance giving the students the space to co-create the course, whilst maintaining a focus on learning outcomes. This is exemplified by the need to create a tangible virtual space, to provide the course with a thematic and social framework. To achieve this, not only do the learning outcomes need to be expressed clearly and does teaching have to be adapted accordingly, the digital space also needs to be perceived as welcoming and safe. To build on students’ local experiences, ethnographic methods can be used to highlight global aspects as well as theory-practice transfer.

To Blend in or Stand out? - Hospital Social Workers' Jurisdictional Work in Sweden and Germany
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation describes, analyses, and compares the means by which hospital social work associations in Sweden and Germany pursue their members’ professionalization through ‘jurisdictional work’. The time period covered by the research is 1989 through 2008. The analysis starts from the observation that jurisdictional work represents an ongoing effort by hospital social workers’ professional bodies to establish and maintain formalized professional jurisdiction, both internally within the profession and externally vis-à-vis outside stakeholders. The research questions guiding the investigation focus on the kind of activities these professional bodies perform, and the way in which they are performed, to promote hospital social workers’ professionalization in the two countries in question. The question will also be asked as to the reasons why hospital social work bodies perform the specific activities under consideration. This dissertation is a cross-national comparative case study on jurisdictional work performed by a social work subgroup operating in organizational settings where social work represents a minority occupation subordinate to other professional fields. The research materials used for the study include, in the first place, various documents obtained from professional hospital social work bodies in Sweden and Germany. In addition, two focus group interviews with board members of two of the associations studied were conducted. The theoretical framework used for the analysis and comparison of the empirical data draws on theories of the sociology of professions (Abbott 1988, 2005), complemented by theorizing on compliance in voluntary organizations (Etzioni 1961) and on social identity (Jenkins 2004). Additionally, argumentation analysis is drawn upon Karlsen (2012). The results obtained show there to have been major differences between the jurisdictional work strategies resorted to by the Swedish and German social work bodies. The differences mainly involved the ways in which these organizations supported their members, related to their social work knowledge base, positioned themselves vis-à-vis their trade union, and concretely sought to advance formal protection. The findings point to both internal (i.e., associational, related to the organization’s size and resources) and external (national context, specific healthcare setting, and degree of subordination to other occupational categories within the professional context and the specific healthcare setting) factors behind the differences in the studied social work bodies’ use of jurisdictional work strategies. Altogether, two different jurisdictional work strategies were found to be used by professional hospital social worker groups operating in subordination in Sweden and Germany. A mimetic strategy was used by the Swedish hospital social workers, to allow them, as a professional group, to better “blend in” with their hospital settings; in this case, similarities between the hospital social workers and their working environment, including other professions present in it, were emphasized, especially as concerns their knowledge base, professional identity, and disciplinary affiliation. In contrast, the German hospital social workers relied on an aposematic strategy stressing differences between the social workers’ and their hospital co-workers’ knowledge base, professional identity, and disciplinary affiliation, so as to make their subprofession “stand out” from its enveloping hospital settings.
