Att bedöma och hantera risk för våld i nära relation i gles- och landsbygd
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med projektet som presenteras har varit att förmedla forskningsresultat om riskhantering och samverkan avseende våld i nära relation, stalkning och hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck till yrkesverksamma inom polis och socialtjänst, samt att undersöka utmaningar och behov rörande frågor om riskbedömning, riskhantering och samverkan kring våld i nära relationer i gles- och landsbygdskommuner. En huvudsaklig ambition med nyttiggörandeprojektet har varit att medverka till att sprida information om RISKSAM och i dialog med de yrkesverksamma utveckla modellen ännu mer specifikt till de utmaningar som gles- och landsbygd står inför. Under våren 2023 har vi således besökt praktiker inom socialtjänst och polis i gles- och landsbygd.

Att göra flickors röster hörda : Om flickforskningens möte med historievetenskapen
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här sessionen handlar flickors röster i historien och om flickforskning i Sverige – specifikt flickforskningens möte med historievetenskapen. Den internationella forskningen om flickor och unga kvinnor, Girlhood Studies eller flickforskning på svenska, utvecklades under 1990-talet och fick en skjuts under 2000-talets första decennier inom forskning men också i politiska, massmediala och populärkulturella sammanhang.[1] Utgångspunkten var att den tidigare ungdomsforskningen varit genusblind, medan kvinnoforskningen saknat generationsperspektiv. Nu började genus och generation kombineras för att producera ny kunskap om flickor, kunskap om hur det talas om flickor, om hur flickor behandlas och om hur de upplever sina livsvillkor.[2] Gemensamt för det sena 1900-talets intresse för flickor på olika arenor var att det ofta handlade om flickor och om synliggörandet av flickor. Sedan millennieskiftet har forskningsfältet utvecklats både internationellt och i Sverige. Intersektionella analyser av flickor, flickdom och ung femininitet har genererat kunskap om flickor i historien men också om hur samtiden har sett på, uppfattat och behandlat flickor. Inom historieämnet har en rad avhandlingar om flickor publicerats under 2000-talet[3] och forskare har alltmer börjat intressera sig för flickors aktörskap och olika flickdiskurers uppkomst och innebörd.[4] De medverkande i denna session har forskat om flickor från 1800-talet till i dag, i skilda kontexter, med olika teoretiska utgångspunkter och metoder. Diskussionen kommer handla dels om vad som sker i mötet mellan flickforskning och historievetenskapen, dels om mötet mellan forskaren och flickorna i historien. Vilka möjligheter, utmaningar och svårigheter står historisk flickforskning inför och hur finner vi och hur bearbetar vi de spår som flickor har (eller inte har) lämnat efter sig i olika historiska källor?De medverkande i sessionen:Ordförande och presentatör: Anna-Karin Larsson, fil.dr historia och lektor i socialt arbete, Örebro universitet. ”Våldsamma flickor.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This qualitative study explores the opportunities and challenges of collaboration experienced by social workers and police officers when dealing with cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) and stalking. The study aims to examine their collaborative approaches in risk assessment and risk management by identifying the structures , supports, and foundations crucial for effective collaboration. Our data, collected from twelve interviews and one focus group interview with social workers and police officers, reveals that collaboration was facilitated by assigning specific roles to involved parties, proximity, structure and professionalism. These key factors emerged as crucial and contributing to the effectiveness of the collaborative efforts. Practitioners should consider integrating these key elements into their practices to enhance and improve collaboration when addressing cases of IPV and stalking. The study underscores the need for a well-defined framework and support structures to optimise the collaborative response to such complex and sensitive issues.

Flickors och unga kvinnors sexuella hälsa i Sverige ca 1970-2000
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Flickforskning på bredden och tvären. ; , s. 1-1
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Med utgångspunkt i medicinska artiklar för professionella inom skolhälsovården har jag undersökt synen på risker, sårbarhet och ansvar i psykisk och sexuell hälsa för flickor. Diskussioner bland professionella visar hur unga kvinnor gjordes ansvariga för sexuell hälsa i relationer, för risker med sexuell aktivitet och psykiska problem, och hur denna syn ifrågasattes och förändrades mot millennieskiftet. Dessa uppfattningar och förståelser kan förstås mot bakgrunden av ett ökat samhällsintresse för unga människors sexuella hälsa.

Youth mental health in Swedish medical literature 1970-2017
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Through a historical lens, we can comprehend the evolving perceptions of children's mental health over the past four decades. This exploration delves into how different health issues concerning children and young people are spotlighted at varying times, shedding light on the dynamic nature of societal perspectives.Concerns about mental health in children and youth have surged since the 1990s across Western nations. Tracking the incidence of mental health issues over time proves challenging due to changing definitions, categorizations, and diagnostic criteria. Despite these challenges, studying temporal trends remains crucial. The conceptualizations of mental illness in this demographic mirror societal thoughts, patterns, and beliefs, providing insights into their respective eras.This study employs discourse analysis, examining discussions in Swedish medical literature from 1970 to the present. Contextualized within the evolving conditions of the late 20th-century Swedish welfare state, the research explores changes in societal dynamics affecting schools, school health care, child and youth health care, and the broader socio-economic landscape. The investigation focuses on evolving explanations for mental illness, shifts in issues raised, and media representations of girls' and boys' mental health.The findings reveal a consistent narrative depicting a continuous rise in mental illness and psychosocial problems, with higher rates of psychosomatic issues among girls. The discourse consistently portrays girls internalizing their ill health, while boys externalize psychosomatic symptoms through actions such as drinking or criminal behavior. Over time, explanations for the surge in mental health issues evolve—from biological gender differences in the 1970s to a more nuanced understanding in subsequent decades. The target demographic broadens from homogeneous groups in the 1970s to a heterogeneous one in later years, reflecting diverse health problems, symptoms, and needs. Gender awareness increases, with a notable shift in attention toward lifestyle factors influencing psychosocial problems and mental health, including stress, sedentary behavior, eating habits, and leisure activities like television and computer gaming.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the research project Youth mental health in Swedish medical literature 1970-2017, the view on the mental health of children and young people is examined from a gender perspective. The study examines how mental illness and psychosocial problems have been explained, whether questions, problems and explanations have changed over time, and how girls and boys' ill-health is presented. The ambition has been to gain in-depth knowledge of how medical knowledge relates to the historical context and interacts with other political and social discourses. The project has been carried out within the framework of the interdisciplinary Swedish national research program The three-cities study.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, we investigated social workers' use of risk assessments and risk management in cases concerning intimate partner violence. The study examined social workers' experiences of work performance, organizational conditions, internal and external collaboration and challenges and opportunities at work. We interviewed twelve respondents in Swedish social work offices about what structures, supports and foundations they found essential for work sustainability and resilience. Support from colleagues and managers, experience, openness and trust were critical factors for work satisfaction. The study showed that work experience created trust and security, partly because the social worker became better at translating laws and regulations into practical work. Concerning the severity of the cases, collaboration was essential for building workplace confidence and well-being. A well-functioning internal and external collaboration was described as trust, reducing stress and access to open and straightforward communication with others. Sustainable routines and access to guidelines facilitated the work. An unsupportive work climate included a culture of silence, a lack of trust and generated feelings of stress. Feelings of vulnerability in the professional role arose when the workgroup and/or the management did not take a supportive approach to operational work. This study describes and discusses social workers' use of risk assessments and risk management and their experience working with challenging cases concerning intimate partner violence. Key factors that support the work were strongly linked to organizational factors, such as opportunities to work in pairs, have access to supervision or a mentor and receive support from a senior social worker colleague. Well-functioning internal and external collaboration was connected to trust, manageable stress levels and open and straightforward communication. An unsupportive work climate was linked to a culture of silence, lack of trust and high stress levels. When the team and the management did not take a supportive approach to operations, feelings of vulnerability in the professional role evolved.

Managing post-separation violence : mothers’ strategies and the challenges of receiving societal protection
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Nordic Social Work Research. - : Routledge. - 2156-857X .- 2156-8588. ; 14:3, s. 360-373

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Given the profound consequences of post-separation violence on the well-being and quality of life of many women and children, protecting victims from further violence is a paramount concern. Understanding the complex challenges faced by women at risk for such violence is crucial for improving strategies for managing this risk and ensuring the safety of these women and children. In Sweden, access to society’s protective interventions often relies on the women actively seeking them. The aim of this study was to analyse the process of protection against post-separation violence as described by women with children in Sweden. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women who had experienced domestic violence and were assessed with low to moderate risk of revictimization. The interviews explored strategies they employed on their own and the risk management interventions they received. Through thematic analysis, we identified five themes: activating own safety strategies, seeking societal protection, utilizing societal protection, bridging gaps in societal protection, and resigning to live unprotected. Together, they form a process of protection characterized by mothers employing numerous strategies at different phases to safeguard themselves and their children, relying on their own initiative as well as the assistance offered by society. However, despite these efforts, some mothers and children remained unprotected and were obligated to resign to live with post-separation violence. This study underscores the extensive demands placed on women subjected to violence, despite the presence of relatively strong legal rights and a well-developed societal system.
