” Sexual exploitation of young people on social media exists and we must take care of it” : Youth counselor’s experiences of working with young people who have been sexually exploited on social media (English)
Abstract [sv]

Sexuell exploatering av unga på sociala medier är ett utbrett och växande problem som allt fler unga utsätts för. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur kuratorer på ungdomsmottagningar upplever sitt arbete med unga som utsatts för sexuell exploatering på sociala medier. Studiens design har en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Med hjälp av en tematisk analys analyserades data. Studiens resultat bygger på intervjuer med sju kuratorer som arbetar på sju ungdomsmottagningar i Sverige. Resultatet av studien diskuteras sedan med hjälp av tidigare forskning samt studiens valda metod, evidensbaserad praktik (EBP). Studiens resultat visade att förebyggande arbete inom ämnet är viktigt. Det fanns ingen specifik hjälpinsats för unga som utsatts och det framgick att en kunskapslucka inom ämnet existerade. Studieförfattarna drar slutsatsen att det behövs mer forskning kring det valda ämnet samt att kuratorerna bör arbeta mer evidensbaserat. 

Abstract [en]

Sexual exploitation of young people on social media is a widespread and emerging matter. The aim of this study was to capture counselor´s at youth clinics experiences of working with youths who have been subjected to the discussed subject. A qualitative approach with semi structured interviews was the selected method for the study. The data was later analyzed by using a thematic analysis.The results of the study are based on seven counselors’ views on the subject. The results of the study are then discussed by using previous research and the chosen theory, evidence-based practice (EBP). The study showed that preventive work is important, there is no specific help that counselors could offer and that there is a knowledge gap in the selected subject. The study authors can conclude that there needs to be more research done in the chosen subject and that counselor´s should work more evidence based.
