Caregivers' use of robots and their effect on work environment : a scoping review
- 2022

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite the lively discussion on the pros and cons of using robots in health care, little is still known about how caregivers are affected when robots are introduced in their work environment. The present scoping review fills this research gap by mapping previous studies about the relation between robots in care and caregivers’ working life. The paper is based on searches in four databases for peer-reviewed articles about robots in care settings, published 2000 to 2020. The 27 included papers were examined with the questions of 1) how robots are used by caregivers, and 2) how robots affect caregivers’ work environment. The analysis shows that the use of robots can affect both the physical and the psychosocial work environment, in positive as well as in negative ways. Robots are used in care settings to reduce physical and mental demands of the caregivers, but they can, in fact, increase caregivers’ workload. Thus, the review indicates that robots can improve the quality of work, but that they seldom work as a shortcut to increased efficiency or time effectiveness.

Informationshantering inom socialtjänsten : resurs eller hinder vid barn- och ungdomsärenden?
- 1987
-
Ingår i: Social Forskning. - Stockholm : Delegationen för social forskning. ; :4, s. 12-14
-
Forskningsöversikt (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ett antal rapporter rörande socialtjänstens informationshantering kommenteras mycket översiktligt. Det framgår att informationshanteringen inom socialtjänsten är behäftad med många stora och delvis svårbegripliga brister. Konsekvenser av dessa brister blir att en del arbete som utförs kan bli ineffektivt, meningslöst och t.o.m. destruktivt. Vidare sker inte sällan rättsliga, demokratiska och etiska övergrepp.

People with dementia as active agents in nursing homes : a scoping review
- 2023
-
Ingår i: SAGE Open. - : Sage Publications. - 2158-2440. ; 13:2
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- People with dementia (PWD) are fragile and need aid and care in their daily lives. This scoping review explores the extent to which PWD can be involved in society and their daily lives. Publications were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. We graded the level of participation/involvement in daily life and research using a five-level participation model developed by Shier. A higher grade means a greater ambition to involve PWD in decisions. Of the 11 included studies, three reached level three according to Shier’s model. The studies describe ways of and potentials for participation, capabilities of PWD, caregivers’ opportunities to foster involvement, and cooperation between PWD caregivers and relatives. Caregivers and managers must have the attitude that PWD can be involved in decisions and caregivers need opportunities to actively promote such involvement. Shier’s model can be a tool with which organizations strive to involve PWD.

A systematic review of literature regarding food insecurity in Sweden.
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy. - : Wiley. - 1530-2415 .- 1529-7489. ; 21:1, s. 1020-1032
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Food insecurity is not a term that is traditionally utilized in relation to Sweden, which has a well-established welfare state. In fact, the discussion around this issue appears to be predicated on the notion that it is a concept existing outside the country. However, European countries are in no way immune to the issue of food insecurity. The Food and Agricultural Organisation to the United Nations holds data on the levels of food insecurity gathered from the Gallup poll and this indicated increasing levels of moderate-to severe insecurity among the population. This indicated a need to review the research and literature on food insecurity in Sweden. This was carried out using two of the largest databases SCOPUS and Public/Publisher MEDLINE (PubMed) as well as a search for gray data using Google Scholar. Following backward and forward searches, in total only five articles were deemed relevant for inclusion. These were discussed and show very limited analysis of the issue, with their connection to food insecurity in Sweden being either abstract or unfocussed on the issue directly. This demonstrates a fundamental gap in this area of research and leaves open questions as to why this is the case.

Idéburen välfärd i Sverige : en systematisk litteraturstudie
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Socialvetenskaplig tidskrift. - : Förbundet för forskning i socialt arbete. - 1104-1420 .- 2003-5624. ; 29:1, s. 1-25
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Syftet med artikeln är att göra en genomgång av den forskning som finns inom området idéburen välfärd i Sverige samt att identifiera behov av vidare forskning. Utifrån ett ökat intresse för civilsamhället generellt och idéburen välfärd specifikt söker vi svar på några frågor. Vilka vetenskapliga perspektiv har anlagts i studier om idéburna organisationers roll för välfärdens praktik? När är studierna gjorda? Vilka välfärdsområden har studerats? Och, handlar studierna om brukare, professionella, välfärdsproducerande organisationer eller samhället i stort? I artikeln analyseras 161 publicerade studier. Dessa har identifierats genom sökningar i tre akademiska databaser. Resultaten, som sammanfattas genom grafer och i form av en narrativ syntes, visar att forskningen om idéburen välfärd har ökat stadigt sedan tidigt 1990-tal. Den samlade forskningen på idéburen välfärd ger en förståelse av de politiska förändringsprocesser som påverkat den idéburna välfärdsproduktionen och hur dessa processer relaterar internationella trender. Slutligen argumenteras det för att det saknas forskning om faktiskt utförd produktion av välfärdstjänster i den idéburna sektorn och dess betydelse för den enskilda brukaren. Det gäller särskilt forskning om idéburen vård och skola.

Diversity barometer : attitude changes in Sweden
- 2020

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- he aim of this article is to elucidate and discuss the results of the 2016 Diversity Barometer (Mångfaldsbarometern) and compare these results with those obtained from ten years of the longitudinal Diversity Barometers for 2005?2014. An additional aim is to demonstrate whether and how Swedish people?s experiences of and attitudes toward people with a foreign background and ethnic diversity have changed.A random sample of the Swedish population took part in the annual study, which was carried out in the form of a nationwide postal survey. The results show that negative attitudes toward ethnic and cultural diversity in general, and migrant population in particular, have increased to some extent and with respect to certain issues. Views on diversity in relation to culture and religion ? especially Islam ? were more negative than views on diversity in relation to work. Those who have larger experience of contact with foreigners show a more positive attitude toward diversity compared with those with limited experience and contact. Individuals who have higher education, those who identify themselves as female, younger persons and those living in large cities are more positive than other groups. In our analysis of the empirical data, we proceeded from a social work perspective and applied contact theory and group conflict theories relating attitudes to group position.

Young People with Intellectual Disabilities and Social Media : A Literature Review and Thematic Analysis
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research. - : Stockholm University Press. - 1501-7419 .- 1745-3011. ; 21:1, s. 129-140
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The aim of this review is to identify and analyse the research findings in the field of young people with intellectual disabilities and social media.Method: Twelve peer-reviewed papers published in well-established and recognized journals between 2001 and 2017 were identified from electronic database searches (Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar), the Internet (Facebook) and correspondence with experts.Results: Six topics were identified through thematic analysis of the texts: opportunities, risk and vulnerability, sexuality, identity, barriers and support.Conclusion: The latest research on young people with intellectual disabilities is characterized by issues of risk, vulnerability and support. The concept of positive risk-taking is suggested for the development of methodological approaches in practice and research. Furthermore, vulnerability, online and offline activities and identity formation should be examined more closely, and there is a call for new research methods in this area, for example observations and netnography.

Pioneering the use of technologies in qualitative research – A research review of the use of digital interviews
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Social Research Methodology. - : Routledge. - 1364-5579 .- 1464-5300. ; 25:6, s. 757-768

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Covid-19 has changed the way research can be conducted. The present literature review, based on 29 studies (2008–2020), investigates and compiles existing research to identify possibilities and limitations of using digital interviews within social work, sociology and adjacent disciplines. The results show that digital interviews can enhance long-distance participation, and that they may be cost-effective. However, technical difficulties can arise that adversely affect the quality of the interviews. Concerning sensitive topics (e.g., victimization, health issues, sexuality), more rich data can be reached with digital options than with in-person options, but it can be difficult to read visual cues, as the camera only captures the participants’ upper body. Based on these results, it is important to strike a balance between the positive and negative aspects associated with digital interviews, and to understand that digital interviews are something different than in-person interviews, with their own logic and rules.
