Self-determination through participation : A qualitative interview study on how social workers consider client's self-determination (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att få en djupare förståelse för hur socialsekreterare som handlägger ekonomiskt bistånd upplever klientens självbestämmande i relation till myndighetsutövning. Vi tolkade dessa upplevelser utifrån en teoretisk ram baserad på Empowerment. Studien har en kvalitativ design och genomfördes med semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer. Populationen för studien var socionomer som handlägger ekonomiskt bistånd. Urvalsgruppen bestod av sju socionomer verksamma i Sverige. Resultaten och den efterföljande analysen genererade fyra huvudteman samt nio subteman gällande uppfattningar om begreppet självbestämmande i sig, om klientens självbestämmande i förhållande till lagar och regler samt om de strategier som respondenter använder sig av för att främja klientens självbestämmande. Resultatet visade på att delaktighet var en viktig del i arbetet för att främja klientens självbestämmande.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how social secretaries who handle financial support perceive the client’s self-determination in relation to the exercise of authority. We interpreted these experiences through a theoretical framework based on Empowerment. The study has a qualitative design and was conducted with semi- structured telephone interviews. The population for the study was social workers who handle financial assistance. The selection group consisted of seven social workers active in Sweden. The results and the subsequent analysis generated four main themes and nine sub-themes regarding perceptions about the concept of self-determination per se, about the client's selfdetermination in relation to laws and regulations and about the strategies that respondents use to promote client self-determination. The results showed that participation was an important part of the work to promote client self- determination.
