”I would have been tough but kind” : A combined vignette and interview study about the professional role of relative consultants and their thoughts on domestic violence among the elderly. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att få en fördjupad förståelse för anhörigkonsulenters arbete genom att undersöka hur de resonerade gällande situationer som innebär våld i nära relation bland äldre. Detta gjordes genom en kombinerad vinjett-och intervjustudie där sju anhörigkonsulenter fick ta del av två vinjetter med tillhörande följdfrågor. Empirin har analyserats med hjälp av tematisk analys. Resultatet visade tre övergripande teman som var: Våld bland äldre, Alliansen med den anhöriga och Yrkesrollen. Resultatet analyserades genom en teoretisk referensram som placerade anhörigkonsulenternas yrkesroll i en välfärdskontext samt med hjälp av teorin om arbetsalliansen. En slutsats var att arbetsalliansen framkom som ett viktigt redskap för anhörigkonsulenterna och de hade olika metoder för att skapa en allians. Samtidigt behövde de ständigt balansera mellan den anhörigas autonomi och säkerställa de äldres säkerhet. Utmärkande för deras yrkesroll var bland annat att de saknade myndighetsutövning vilket fick inverkan på deras handlingsutrymme. Resultatet diskuterades i förhållande till den alltmer restriktiva utvecklingen av äldreomsorgen och vilka konsekvenser detta har fått för anhöriga.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the work of relative consultants by examining how they reason about situations that involve domestic violence among the elderly. This was done through a combined vignette and interview study where seven relative consultants were given two vignettes with follow-up questions. The empirics have been analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed three main themes which were: Violence among the elderly, The alliance with the relative and The professional role. The results were analyzed through a theoretical frame of reference that placed the professional role of the relative consultants in a welfare context and with the help of the theory of the working alliance. One conclusion was that the working alliance emerged as an important tool for the relative consultants and they had different methods for creating an alliance. At the same time, they needed to constantly balance between the relative's autonomy and ensure the safety of the elderly. Characteristic of their professional role were i.e. that they lacked the exercise of authority, which had an impact on their room for maneuver. In addition, the results were discussed in relation to the increasingly restrictive development of elderly care and what consequences this has had for relatives.
