To report or not? : The role of organizational culture in reporting misconduct in disability care (English)
Abstract [en]

The study aims to investigate the importance of organizational culture for the reporting of misconduct in disability care, focusing on one team in one group home providing support to individuals with challenging behavior. Using a case study design and a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews and vignette cases were conducted with care staff and the unit manager. The interview material was analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that there are variations in how staff define misconduct, leading to uncertainty about what should be reported. Relationships and group dynamics play a role in reporting tendencies, with fear of "frame" colleagues and inadequate feedback emerging as barriers. The study also highlights practical difficulties with the reporting systems.

Abstract [sv]

Studien syftar till att undersöka organisationskulturens betydelse för rapportering av missförhållanden inom funktionshinderomsorgen, med fokus på en arbetsgrupp på en gruppbostad som ger stöd åt personer med utmanande beteende. Genom en fallstudiedesign och en kvalitativ strategi genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer samt vinjettfall med omsorgspersonal och enhetschef. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultatet visar att det finns variationer i hur personalen definierar missförhållanden, vilket leder till osäkerhet kring vad som ska rapporteras. Relationer och gruppdynamik spelar roll för rapporteringsbenägenheten, där rädsla för att "sätta dit" kollegor och bristfällig återkoppling framkommer som hinder. Studien belyser även praktiska svårigheter med rapporteringssystemen.
