Partnerviolence – an employer issue? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Att vara utsatt för partnervåld kan medföra konsekvenser för både den fysiska och psykiska hälsan, och även att innebära att påverkas på olika sätt. Syftet med studien var att få en fördjupad förståelse kring kommunala enhetschefers uppfattning om sin roll och om arbetsgivaransvar när det gäller anställdas utsatthet för partnervåld. En kombination av kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod har använts och data samlades in genom en webbenkät och semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades i deskriptiv, bivariat respektive tematisk analys. Studien visade att partnervåld upplevs av enhetschefer som ett svårt ämne och att avsaknaden av reglering i lagstiftning och fastställda rutiner kring hur dessa ärenden ska hanteras gör att det blir upp till varje enskild enhetschef att avgöra hur det hanteras. Resultatet har sedan diskuterats i förhållande till tidigare forskning, lagstiftning och systemteori.

Abstract [en]

Being subjected to partner violence can have consequences for both physical and mental health, and also to be affected in different ways. The purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of municipal unit managers 'perceptions of their role and of employer responsibility regarding employees' exposure to partner violence. A combination of quantitative and qualitative method has been used and data were collected through a web survey and semi-structured interviews which were analyzed in descriptive, bivariate and thematic analysis. The study showed that partner violence is perceived by unit heads as a difficult subject and that the lack of regulation in legislation and established routines around how these matters are to be handled, makes it up to each individual unit manager to decide how it is handled. The results have since been discussed in relation to previous research, legislation and system theory.
