Mental ill-health among young people – from the Counselor perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka förklaringar kuratorerna anger till psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar och hur de arbetar för att motverka psykisk ohälsa. Åtta kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med kuratorer inom skolans elevhälsa, ungdomsmottagningar och barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin. Resultatet visar att kuratorernas förklaringar till psykisk ohälsa hos unga är individ-, familje-, relations- och skolrelaterade. Stressen att alltid vara tillgänglig via mobilen och destruktiva beteenden har stor betydelse för ungdomars psykiska ohälsa och stress. Skolans struktur utgör även en stor risk till psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomarna. Resultaten visar även att kuratorernas arbetssätt i form av ett professionellt bemötande och alliansbyggandet har stor betydelse för att ungdomarna ska uppnå psykisk hälsa. Samverkan samt främjande och förebyggande insatser på grupp, individ och samhällsnivå, är viktiga för att motverka psykisk ohälsa hos unga. Studien indikerar att det finns ett behov för vidare forskning om psykisk ohälsa bland unga.

Abstract [en]

The study’s objective was to investigate counselors’ view of mental ill-health among young people and their work to prevent it. Eight qualitative interviews were conducted with counselors in schools, youth clinics, and youth psychiatry wards. The outcome shows that mental ill-health among young people relates to sense of self, family and relationship issues, and school related issues. The stress to always be accessible via mobile phones and other self-destructive behavior gravely impact youths’ sense of wellbeing. The educational system is also at risk of inducing mental ill-health among young people. Counselors’ ability to work with a professional approach and alliance building between young people is of great importance for the youths to retain their mental health. Preventative efforts at the individual, group, and community levels are important for helping adolescents with mental ill-health. This study indicates that further research on mental ill-health among young people is essential.
