The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between children placed in out-of-home care and the bond and closeness with their caregivers. Secondary data from the Midwest Study About the Crime During the Transition to Adulthood: How Youth Fare as They Leave Out-of-Home Care in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin was used to develop a quantitative study on related variables. Findings indicated no significant relationship between outcomes for children in foster care and caregiver closeness.

Johansson, Nina. "Social workers’ perspectives on a medical home model for children and adolescents in out of home care : An interview study." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för folkhälso- och vårdvetenskap, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-413383.
Full textBakgrund: I Sverige har hälsoutfallen för barn och ungdomar inom socialtjänstens placeringar utanför det egna hemmet varit bristande. Hälsofam är en organisatorisk modell inom hälso- och sjukvård för barn i placeringar utanför det egna hemmet i Uppsala. Syfte: Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka hur anställda inom Socialtjänsten har upplevt och erfarit Hälsofam-modellen. Metod: En kvalitativ explorativ studie med tio semi-strukturerade individuella telefonintervjuer användes. Kriterier för inkludering i studieurvalet var att personen skulle vara anställd inom Socialtjänsten, arbeta med denna typ av fall samt ha erfarenhet av att remittera barn och unga till Hälsofam. Resultat: Arbetet med Hälsofam har erbjudit anställa inom socialtjänsten en väg in till hälso- och sjukvården, vilket tidigare upplevts begränsat. Hälsofam har erbjudit anställda inom socialtjänsten ett aktivt samarbete, där fokus har lagts på organiserat interprofessionellt arbete. Frågan har också rests, huruvida alla barn och ungdomar har samma möjlighet till vård inom Hälsofam. Slutsats: Hälsofam-modellen har haft en positiv inverkan på det inbördes förhållandet mellan Socialtjänst och hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn. Anställda inom socialtjänsten upplever även att arbetet med att stödja de barn och unga som får vård utanför hemmet, har blivit lättare i och med Hälsofam. Resultatet visar dock att det personliga perspektivet hos den anställda samt den samhälleliga situationen där de arbetar, skapar begräsningar för att erbjuda vård till alla barn och unga.

Magnusson, Mira. "Nurses’ experiences of involving family members in home-based care : A qualitative study with nurses working in home-based care provided out of consultorios in Havana, Cuba." Thesis, Ersta Sköndal högskola, Institutionen för vårdvetenskap, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:esh:diva-4632.
Full textBakgrund: I Havanna, Kuba, har de upprättat en stor tillgänglighet av sjukvårdsinstanser och hälsocenter som arbetar nära patienterna och deras familjer, både geografiskt och socialt, så kallade consultorios. Familjecentrerad omvårdnad är något som eftersträvas inom sjukvård i västvärlden. Ett flertal studier har visat att familjecentrerad omvårdnad ökat patientsäkerheten och patientens tillfredställelse av vården och att psykologiskt stöd för anhöriga bidrar till en bättre hälsa både för dem och patienten. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att involvera familjemedlemmar i hemsjukvård som bedrivs utifrån consultorios i Havanna, Kuba. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes och fem sjuksköterskor som arbetade eller har arbetat på consultorios i Havanna, Kuba, deltog. Resultatet bearbetades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys baserad på den strategi som beskrivits av Graneheim och Lundman. Resultat: I resultatet framkom två huvudteman. Familjemedlemmarna presenterades dels som informanter men också som en tillgång i sjuksköterskans arbete samt som ett psykologiskt stöd till patienterna. Vidare berättade sjuksköterskorna vikten av att se hela bilden av deras patienters situation, hur de utbildar familjemedlemmar i omvårdnaden och hur de stödjer familjemedlemmar psykologiskt. Diskussion: Sjuksköterskornas upplevelse av familjemedlemmars roll och deras arbete med att involvera dessa diskuterades i relation till tidigare forskning och begreppet familjecentrerad omvårdnad som det beskrivits av Benzein, Hagberg och Saveman.

Full textThe purpose of this project was to design a mentoring program, identify potential funding sources, and write a grant to fund a culturally sensitive mentoring program. This mentoring program targets Latino youth receiving child welfare services from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. This mentoring program aims at assisting foster youth avoid potential maladaptive outcomes by increasing their self-esteem, academic achievement and life skills.

Full textThe aim of this study was to understand how young adults whom previously had been in out-of-home care retrospectively described their schooling. Five young adults between the ages of 21-26 were interviewed in a qualitative study. The theory KASAM helped identify the resources and factors that influenced the informants’ sense of coherence. The results showed that the informants were put in out-of-home care at different ages and had different experiences with their studies while in care. They received help from adults in regards to their studies, which had a positive impact on their schooling. Some informants had negative experiences from their schooling while in care caused by bullying, mental health issues and having to move multiple times. Because of our small sample we could not generalize the results. What the informants had in common was the fact that they had college-level education or were planning to receive it.

Full textBackground: Earlier studies show the importance of supporting the contact between children in out-of-home care and their birth-family. There are several studies that highlight the experiences of the contact between children in out-of-home care and their birth-families. How social workers in Sweden work with the contact is an unexplored area.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how social workers manage contact between children in out-of-home care and their birth-family and the risk and safety factors regarding the contact between the child in out-of-home care and its birth-family.Method: The basis for the qualitative study were individual interviews and a focus group.Results and conclusion: The social workers considered that their work required an ability to be creative in how they plan the contact between the child and its birth-family and how they respond to the birth-family. The study also demonstrates how others from the birth-family than the child’s parents were forgotten or ignored in the contact planning.

Full textThe subjective well-being and stressful life events were investigated transversally (Study I), longitudinally (Study II), and as a group of Attrition (Study III) in a total sample of 1080 participants of both sexes, 7-16 years in a situation of vulnerability, separated in two groups: living with family or out-of-home care institutions. A structured interview, a Stressful Events Inventory, an Affect Scale and a Multidimensional Scale of Life Satisfaction were used. The results showed that living with family group experienced fewer stressful events, were more satisfied with family and their selves, experienced less negative affect, and had more positive, comparing to the institutionalized. However, that group kept the school and friendship satisfaction, and increased satisfaction with self over time. The institutionalization and removal from adverse situations at home may be an explanation for those results. Support interventions are discussed.

Full textTitle: Leaving social care in Sweden- Social workers experiences of working with young care leavers Aim: The study aims at examining what social workers consider necessary for youngcare leavers during their transition to adulthood, together with social workers experiences of working with aftercare. Method: To achieve the aim of the study, two focus group interviews were conductedwith social workers from two different sections of social services in one municipality in Sweden. Results: The result showed that according to the social workers, the young care leaversare a vulnerable group and in need of social and practical support. The study alsoshowed that the existing aftercare policies and services offered to care leavers does notmeet the identified needs. The social workers cannot therefore provide for the needs ofthe care leavers thus being forced to make things work out of the impossible. Discussion: The social services within municipalities are solely responsible for care andaftercare of the out of home placed children and youth. Therefore, there is need fordistinct policies and guidelines on aftercare.
