- The entrenchment of the welfare state and increasing inequalities, are challenges social workers in Sweden (and elsewhere) have to respond to. Within the BA social work programme at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, one course specifically aims to equip students with knowledge and skills to meet the demands of local and global communities and to become active agents in the shaping of a sustainable society. The course is offered third year students; each semester approximately 120 students take the 3-week full time course. The course builds on three parts: 1) Acquisition and practical application of relevant theoretical positions through a series of lectures with experts in the field of social work, human rights, media & communication, community work and urban development. 2) Building an insight into the processes of social work at a community level and promoting participation in wider public debates through study visits (such as community based youth work field visits, participation in directly broadcasted TV-debates, work-shops in urban planning). 3) Developing skills (such as critical thinking, community advocacy & ecological awareness) to become active agents in the shaping of a sustainable society through student led workshops and seminars. The content of the course responds to a world in constant flux by integrating up to date issues and challenges relevant for social work. While an underlying structure frames the course, these current issues and challenges determine the content of the lectures and focus in workshops and seminars. Collective learning processes are central elements to the course. The course is an unique example of how social work education can meet the challenges of integrating theory and practice, correspond to needs of communities and equip social workers with theoretical and practical skills to become active agents in the work towards a more sustainable and equal society.

Fall-related injuries for three ages groups - Analysis of Swedish registry data 1999-2013
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Safety Research. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-4375. ; 73, s. 143-152
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: The objective of this study was to analyze which factors (including factors pertaining to the individual, the household, and the local area) increase the risk of fall injuries for the three age groups with the highest risk for fall injuries in Sweden. Method: The study combined longitudinal data covering the period 1999-2013 from several different official registries from Statistics Sweden as well as from the Swedish health care system and fitted the models to data using mixed model regressions. Results: Three age groups had a markedly heightened risk for fall injuries: 1-3-year olds, 12-14 year olds, and the elderly (65+). The home was the most common location for fall injuries, as about 40% of all fall injuries occur in the home. Only for the elderly strong predictors for fall injuries were found, and these were: age, single household, and special housing. Conclusions: There is preventive potential in the special residences for the elderly and disabled. People living in these special residences make up a strongly selected group that needs extra safe environments. Our findings indicate that their needs are currently not meet.

Injury events in residential areas – risk groups and etiological factors for falling, cutting and poisoning
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Injury Prevention. - : BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. - 1353-8047 .- 1475-5785.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Injury events in homes constitute a major social problem. Falling, cutting and poisoning make up 85 per cent of all injury events in residential areas.This study is based on a unique data set that includes several million cases of falling, cutting and poisoning in Sweden during the period 1990-2013 which lead to either to death, hospitalisation or to a visit to a health care provider, and a control group randomly selected from the population.Three riskgroups are given special attention in the analysis: (1) old people, (2) children, (3) persons with disabilities and or long term illnesses.Methods: Multilevel regression analysis and geographical information systems, GIS.Results: The results show the probability for each riskgroup to be exposed to each type of injury event, and how this probability varies with place (GIS), previous exposure, type of household, socioeconomic status and type of housing.Conclusions: The project is ongoing. Our cross-sectorial group has demonstrated the importance of injury epidemiology as a guiding principle in architectural design, particularly for high-risk groups.

Residential movements in connection to renovation of rented multi-residential housing: A pilot study
- 2019
-
Ingår i: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. - : IOP Publishing. - 1755-1307 .- 1755-1315. ; 297:1
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Residential movement and displacement as an effect of renovation has earned attention and also affected renovation practices in Sweden. While statistical studies have linked deep renovation to residential movement and displacement, there are no recent studies that investigate why people move or remain in housing areas that are renovated, and if and how the relocation is determined by the renovation. A pilot study was initiated as a means to develop a methodology to study residential movement in connection to renovation. In this paper, methodological considerations are discussed based on 31 interviews (face-to-face and telephone) with movers related to 34 municipally owned rented housing areas about to undergo renovation, as well results from a questionnaire sent to two finalised renovation projects (N=113). So far, the pilot study indicate that few relocations can be linked to the up-coming or finalised renovation in the studies cases. The questionnaire that was sent out to remaining tenants had a low response rate of 29%, and the efficiency of using questionnaires is discussed.

Standardisering för urban och situationell brottsprevention. Slutrapport Vinnovaprojekt Dnr 2019-01090
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The project Standardization for Urban och Situational Crime Prevention received funding from Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency, in a 2018 call entitled “Standardization for reaching new markets”. The purpose of the call was to identify possible areas for such gains through an open application process and to support those proposed feasibility studies that made convincing arguments for potential market expansion. The aim of the project was to assess whether Swedish actors in the built environment and infrastructure sector would consider standardization of planning processes and management as a relevant tool for working with situational crime prevention. In order to achieve this goal, one objective was to investigate the sector’s perspective on the innovation potential concerning design and efficacy of such a process and management standard; if such standardization was seen as something that could contribute to improve situational crime prevention; and in addition, if such standardization would possibly lead to increased competitiveness of Swedish actors on international markets. The research included an initial mapping of relevant standards and ongoing standardization work within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The project also inquired into the question of any existing certification and accreditation in the area. The mapping process also comprised a review of Swedish legislation and policy in the area. This initial mapping formed the basis for a questionnaire addressed broadly to actors in the built environment and infrastructure sector including e.g. urban planners and safety experts. Despite restrictions imposed by the pandemic, an online webinar and follow up meetings were also organized in order to obtain a picture of knowledge and current practices about matters of situational crime prevention in Sweden and experiences in the sector. Finally, the purpose was also to identify possible spin-off effects of the study in terms of identifying a new research agenda and policy related efforts in this area. The mapping of the area has revealed a fragmented planning practice, extensive knowledge gaps in relation to what a standardization of the planning process would mean with regard to this area, differences in interest but not necessarily in support between actors in the private and public sectors towards a potential standardization as well as contradictions with regard to policy implementation. With regard to the latter, the mapping established that while evidence-based methods for crime prevention are gaining attention in Sweden and are increasingly being employed, this is not to the same extent true for those directed to situational crime prevention. This research also found that there are differences between responsible national bodies with regard to the role of such crime prevention as well as to the question of legislative changes are needed in order to support implementation of such a standardization of planning processes. The mapping of ongoing standardization processes outside of Sweden showed several committees within CEN and ISO to be working on standards directly in or related to the area of urban and situational crime prevention. However, Swedish actors proved to be basically absent in these ongoing processes. Simultaneously, there was among the respondents to the questionnaire (in particular younger experts and planners) a display of real interest and strong support for standardization in the area across a range of questions. While respondents found likely that standardization in terms of solutions for increased safety and security in the built environment could have positive effects, they also believed that it could create new mechanisms that ultimately would affect people’s lives in accordance with values reflected in the social sustainability goals of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. In conclusion, and despite the partly conflicting results, the project indicates a real opportunity to coordinate Swedish actors, both public and private, in particular in the built environment and infrastructure sector with regard to continued efforts towards standardization of urban and situational crime prevention. A process of this kind could intentionally lead to improved and inclusive safety planning practices. What is utterly needed is a national coordination of initiatives based on high-level commitments, an independent external reference group established to monitor how these initiatives are implemented and which effects they have in practice, educational measures and increased research support concerning evidence-based methods in situational crime prevention that is relevant for the Swedish context, and not least, engagement in the European and international standardization work and processes.

Professional voices on risk and accidents in home care – a Swedish survey study
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Facilities. - 0263-2772. ; 38:374, s. 218-234
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find out what knowledge and experience of occupational therapists, personal assistants and public health nurses/nurses in Sweden can contribute concerning the vulnerability of residents to injury in different residential care-settings. Design/methodology/approach – This study is based on a online survey. A total of 832 individuals responded to the survey. The data was analysed from a mixed-method approach, using descriptive statistics, correlations and textual-analysis. Findings –More than one in four representatives of these professions had witnessed accidents. The results show that bedrooms and bathrooms are the rooms in which accidents are most likely to occur in homes. Research limitations/implications – One limitation of the study is that the impact of educational initiatives on the different professions was not investigated, so it is not possible to ascertain what effect this may have had on risk identification and accident prevention measures in residential care-settings. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no prior study of these issues has been conducted. This study is deemed to have significant social benefit because of the steadily increasing need for care in residential settings. No other study has addressed the importance of the physical environment in this context. Collaborations involving researchers from various disciplines, professional organizations and public and private sector employers involved in personal assistance have contributed specific knowledge.

Risk of Injury Events in Patients With Visual Impairments: A Swedish Survey Study Among Hospital Social Workers
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness. - 0145-482X .- 1559-1476. ; 115:5, s. 426-435

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: People with visual impairments (those who are blind or have low vision) are exposed to risks in everyday life, especially injury risks. This study aimed to examine experiences and practical knowledge among hospital social workers in Sweden concerning meetings with patients with visual impairments who have been affected by injury events in residential environments. Methods: Swedish hospital social workers specializing in patients with visual impairments (n=30) answered a questionnaire comprising 14 questions. Both fixed and open-ended questions were included, allowing an analysis of both comparable numeric data and subjectively perceived experiences and opinions. Results: A majority of the respondents had met patients who had been injured in the residential setting; the most common injury mechanism reported was tripping or falling on the stairs, or accidentally stumbling into furniture. The hospital social workers acknowledged that they could work more preventively in their professional role by encouraging patients to use orientation and mobility devices such as long canes, increasing collaboration with other professions, and conducting home visits to enable trustful dialogues with both patients and relatives. Discussion: According to these specialized hospital social workers, the provision of education and information to patients with visual impairments could potentially prevent future injury. However, in order to achieve this, there is a need to first enable a trustful dialogue between social workers and patients. Implications for practitioners: This study provides a better understanding of the importance of trustful dialogue between hospital social workers and patients with visual impairments, from the point of view injury prevention. It also offers a summary of the knowledge of hospital social workers about risks and injury events in residential settings for patients with visual impairments.

- Hem- och boendemiljöer för brukare kan innebära avsevärda risker för dem att drabbas av skadehändelser. Det är sedan tidigare känt att många äldre personer drabbas av fallskador i sina hem. Däremot är tidigare forskning begränsad när det handlar om att visa på vilka erfarenheter som olika professioner har av brukares risker och skadeutsatthet i bostäderna. Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat stress och utsatthet hos distriktssköterskor. Denna studie beskriver de erfarenheter och kännedom som distriktssköterskor och sjuksköterskor inom hemsjukvården har av detta.

Skador och riskgrupper i hem- och boendemiljöer: populärvetenskaplig rapport
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Skadehändelser som inträffar i hem- och boendemiljöer är ett utbrett fenomen i vårt samhälle och drabbar alla åldersgrupper. Med nya utmaningar i vår samtid, som en åldrande befolkning och förändringar i människors delaktighet och aktiveringsgrad, ställs annorlunda krav på såväl bostadens utformning som på det skadeförebyggande arbetet. Forskningsprojektet ArchSafe har haft som övergripande syfte att särskilt undersöka vilka grupper som löper den största risken att skadas av fall, skärning och förgiftning samt att undersöka i vilka typer av situationer som risken för dessa typer av skadehändelser kan anses som extra stor. Forskningsprojektet består av olika delstudier som tillsammans bildar en helhet. Projektet har fokuserat på tre områden 1) Risker och riskgrupper i samhället, 2) Skadehändelsernas förlopp, innebörd och konsekvens, 3) Hinder och möjligheter för mer säkra hem- och boendemiljöer genom skadeförebyggande arbete. Skadehändelser varierar i olika rum/platser. Vanligast är att man skadar sig i bostadsrum och sovrum, 35 procent av skadorna i hem- och boendemiljöer inträffar här. Olika åldersgrupper har olika skadepanorama i hemmet, men bostadsrum och sovrum är den vanligaste skadeplatser oavsett ålder. För barn och ungdomar (0-19 år), som har högre risk än vuxna och medelålders personer, sker näst flest skador i trädgården (22%). För den andra riskgruppen, de äldre, är vård- och omsorgsboende den näst vanligaste skadeplatsen (34% för gruppen 80+). Inom området unga/ungdomar har en avhandling inom projektet visat hur byggd miljö såväl påverkar som har möjlighet att förhindra uppkomst av skadehändelser. Tre områden har undersökts: oavsiktliga skador i bostaden, våldet i skolorna samt suicidplatser. De riskmiljöer som identifierats är entréer, trapphus, gårdar samt gångvägar.

Interpretation of the SafeGrowth method from a police perspective—Possibilities and hindrances in local crime prevention initiatives
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of Community Safety and Well-Being. - 2371-4298. ; 8:4, s. 176-180
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, the focus is on the crime prevention method SafeGrowth and its implementation in Drottninghög, Sweden. We highlight the police perspective on the implementation of SafeGrowth in Drottninghög, a risk area in Helsingborg, Sweden. Contrary to ordinary crime prevention programmes, the police are not the leading actors in the SafeGrowth process; instead, they join, as an equal party, the residents and other actors in the project. This article is partly the result of a process evaluation conducted between August 2021 and October 2022. The data consists of a focus group interview and an on-site visit and was compiled in October 2022. In the analysis, three themes related to the police perspective are identified: (1) the relationship between SafeGrowth, the area’s crime problem, and evidence-based policing; (2) the contribution of SafeGrowth in terms of collective efficacy, and (3) problems related to evaluating SafeGrowth within the area. In the results, it becomes clear that, from a police perspective, the implementation of SafeGrowth may become problematic. The problems pertain to the selection of both areas and local problems to work with, the conjunction of different descriptions of realities, and organization within the project. For SafeGrowth to succeed in Drottninghög and similar areas, police perspectives must be included more clearly in order to facilitate cooperation. Despite these problems, we identified that a major advantage of the SafeGrowth method was its contribution to collective efficacy in the area, which, in turn, can be helpful to everyday police work in Drottninghög.

1 2024 Den fysiska miljöns betydelse för ungdomar som vårdas inom de särskilda ungdomshemmen
- 2024
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En genomtänkt utformning av vårdmiljön bör utgå från såväl fysiska och mätbara aspekter som faktorer som påverkar upplevelsen av miljön. Forskningsunderlaget på området är dock mycket begränsat. Mot bakgrund av detta utgår den här rapporten framför allt från ungdomarnas upplevelse av vårdmiljön men även från personalens perspektiv på sin arbetsmiljö vid Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) ungdomshem. Syftet med forskningsprojektet har varit att öka kunskapen om hur vårdmiljön påverkar ungdomars och personals upplevelser och interaktioner på SiS särskilda ungdomshem. Forskningsprojektet bygger på olika former av kvalitativa metoder. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom intervjuer med ungdomar, med stöd av foton (Photovoice) och skisser (Sketch and Talk), liksom deltagande observationer och fokusgruppsdiskussioner med personal. En karakterisering av den fysiska miljön samt en teoretisk fördjupningsstudie har också genomförts. Fyra institutioner har ingått i forskningsprojektet, och totalt har 48 ungdomar och 31 medarbetare från personalen deltagit. Olika typer av analysmetoder har använts såsom fenomenologisk hermeneutik, teori-integrerat analytiskt förhållningssätt och tematisk analys. Forskningsprojektet har godkännande från Regionala Etikprövningsnämnden Dnr 028–18. Utöver det höll forskargruppen en kontinuerlig etisk dialog för att undvika risken för etiska dilemman under datainsamlingsprocessen. Resultatet visar att den fysiska vårdmiljön beskrivs av både ungdomar och personal generellt i termer av brister och hinder, där säkerhetsarrangemang och restriktioner på rum, tid och objekt präglar vardagen. Den fysiska vårdmiljön och dess fängelselika arv åtföljs av tolkningar av ungdomshemmets miljö som helhet, vilka tar sig uttryck i termer av upplevd kontroll (hos ungdomarna) respektive upplevda risker och faror (hos personalen). Detta tycks bidra till en tonvikt på vad som kan benämnas som sociomateriella kontrollpraktiker hos personalen, respektive sociomateriella motvilliga anpassningspraktiker hos ungdomarna. Det sistnämnda kan förstås mot bakgrund av att miljön i hög grad ”passar” med ungdomarnas tidigare erfarenheter och deras självbild. Resultaten kan förstås i termer av olika abstraktionsnivåer, både relaterat till den direkta, fysiska vårdmiljön, tolkningar och levda erfarenheter av att bo och arbeta i miljön, och handlingar som möjliggörs (och omöjliggörs) av och i miljön vid de särskilda ungdomshemmen vi studerat.

A Descriptive Study of Swedish Secure Youth Homes in Terms of Their Spatial Factors and Residents' Individual Characteristics

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aims to describe secure institutional youth care homes in Sweden in terms of the conditions of their spatial environment (i.e. physical design and objects) and the individual characteristics of the youths placed there. Data were collected through a survey and from the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care. The study population consisted of 18 units and 1,859 youths in secure institutions in Sweden from 2006 to the end of 2016. The results showed that 74.1% of the youths were enrolled under acute circumstances. They often present with physical and mental health problems, such as sleep disturbance and lack of impulse control; the young people are placed in a restricted environment with little possibility to maintain a sense of security. Due to their previous traumatic experiences, this can be problematic in terms of care and treatment. The results show a tension between different aspects of control, highlighting the importance of offering care environments that both offer the staff "control functions" (i.e. functions facilitating observation and control over the environment) and offer the youths "control opportunities." Such environments need to be as homelike as possible, while simultaneously maintaining safe care for young people and a safe working environment for staff.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study focuses on the care environment of secure youth homes run by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, where youths up to 21 years old are placed according to law due to extensive care needs or sentences. Purpose This study examined staff members' experiences of the institutional care environment within secure youth homes. Methods Data were collected through three focus group discussions with 17 staff members at two secure youth homes. Subsequently, a thematic analysis was conducted. Results The analysis indicated two main themes: risk management and damage control in a restricted environment and compensating and reconstructing ordinariness-trying to make the best of it; each theme had three subthemes. The care environment seems to be experienced by staff as characterized by conflicting demands, thus constituting a gap between needs and what is possible to achieve-a balancing act that constitutes a constant struggle. Conclusions The staff members' constant struggle could be interpreted as conflicting moral and instrumental demands; they know what the youths need, but the environment of the secure youth homes demands the decorous behaviour of sociomaterial control practices-rather than care practices.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I följande kapitel analyseras bostaden och bostadsområdets betydelse för den upplevda hälsan genom att visa vilka faktorer som påverkar vår uppfattning i denna viktiga folkhälsofråga. I motsats till tidigare forskning, som främst undersökt relationen mellan individens hälsa och dennes socioekonomiska position, är det här boendets olika aspekter som är centrala. Dessa aspekter av boendet som påverkar hälsan finns på en individnivå i form av ägandetyper och bostadskarriär, på en områdesnivå i termer av sociala och ekonomiska förutsättningar samt på en samhällsnivå i form av geografisk placering och grad av urbanisering. I analysen framkommer att både bostadskarriär och grad av urbanisering är faktorer som har direkt och indirekt samband med hälsoutfallet, främst genom att belysa hur vår bostadssituation relaterar till hälsans sociala dimensioner. Var och hur vi bor är således betydelsefullt för hur vi mår, och dessa aspekter diskuteras i kapitlets avslutning i relation till både folkhälsoarbetet och bostadsplaneringen i Västsverige.

Ungdomshemmens fysiska miljö till stöd för ungdomars hälsa och välbefinnande – en negligerad forskningsfråga
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift. - 0037-833X. ; 96:6, s. 810-819
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den fysiska miljöns betydelse för hälsa och välbefinnande är välkänd inom flera fält och för många olika målgrupper. Dock kan ungdomars institutionsmiljö sägas vara ett undantag. Viss forskning finns och syftet med studien är att belysa och problematisera hur olika aspekter av den fysiska miljön på ungdomsinstitutioner behandlas inom den tidigare forskningen. Genom en kvalitativ litteraturstudie framkommer att den fysiska miljön har betydelse för ungdomars anpassning till institutionen, men även för rehabilitering och exitprocesser. Däremot, eftersom den forskning som finns sällan appliceras i designlösningar, så finns det flera risker med dagens byggnadsutformning. En av de största riskerna är att ungdomars kontrollförluster i rummet blir förstärkta av att vara inlåst samtidigt som positiva samspelsinteraktioner starkt begränsas.
