”It is something you read about at university”. : A qualitative study about social worker´s view of the work with stigmatization and labeling (English)
Abstract [sv]

Tidigare forskning gällande insatsbeviljade familjer visar på att klienterna är stigmatiserade eller stämplade. Syftet med studien är att undersöka, bland socialarbetare inom barn- och familjeenheten, medvetenheten om och arbetet med stigmatisering och stämpling gällande de familjer de har kontakt med i sitt arbete inom socialtjänsten. Stigmateori och stämplingsteori utgjorde studiens teoretiska tolkningsram. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ ansats i form av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer som sedan analyserades med hjälp av en tematisk analys vilket härledde till två teman: bortprioriterat arbete och indirekt arbete. Studiens resultat visade på att medvetenheten hos socialarbetarna om risken att klienterna var stigmatiserade och stämplade var låg. Det saknades riktlinjer och rutiner gällande ämnet och att arbetet som gjordes för att stödja familjerna var indirekt och inte preciserat för bearbetning av stigmatisering och stämpling. Slutsatsen drogs att en ökad medvetenhet bland socialarbetarna som möter familjer inom socialtjänsten gällande risken att familjerna stigmatiseras och stämplas behövs.

Abstract [en]

Previous research has shown that families receiving interventions from the social services are stigmatized and labeled. The purpose of this study is to examine, among social workers within the family unit’s awareness of and work with stigmatization and labeling regarding the families they meet in their work. Stigma and labeling theory make up the theoretical framework for the study. It was conducted with a qualitative approach with six semi-structured interviews, the data was analyzed with a thematic analysis. Two themes emerged: de-prioritized work and indirect work. The results showed that the social workers awareness about family’s risk of being stigmatized and labeled was low. Guidelines and routines were missing and the work to support the families was indirect and not specified for processing stigma and labeling. It was concluded that there needed to be a greater awareness of the stigmatization and labeling of the clients among the social workers.
