Salutogenic perspective in working life : An examination of the factors demand, controll, social support and stress among the staff in the home care service, after the introduction of a new working method (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of the factors demand, control, social support and stress among the staff in home care service and establish how these factors have changed after the introduction of the new working method Vanguardin 2014.

The method of the study had a qualitative approach and the data collection was done using semistructured interviews. Four interviews were conducted with staff in a home care service group. The study selection was targeted and the participants were recruited by contacting a manager of a municipal home care service group in a town in central of Sweden.The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed with a manifest thematic content analysis, with a phenomenological element.

The results showed that the factors demand, controll, social support and stress have improved since the introduction of the new working method. The results showed that the work-related demands have changed from being a negative factor that caused stress, to instead being something positive that develops staff as individuals. Participation and influence increased in the workplace as staff themselfes began to plan their work. This contributed to an increased sense of control. Social support improved in the workplace since they became smaller groups and thus became better acquainted with each other. Stress is no longer due to high workload but occurs rather if problems arise in the work group.

The conclusion is that demands, control, support and stress are important factors in working life that either affect health negatively or positively. Vanguard as aworking method has contributed positively in the investigated group and improved the perceived health of the workers.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hemtjänstpersonalens upplevelser av krav, kontroll, stöd och stress och utröna hur dessa faktorer förändrats efter införandet av den nya arbetsmetoden Vanguard år 2014.

Metoden i studien utgjordes av en kvalitativ ansats och datainsamlingen utfördes genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Fyra intervjuer genomfördes med personer som arbetar i hemtjänsten. Studiens deltagare rekryterades till följd av att en chef för en kommunal hemtjänstgrupp i Mellansverige kontaktades. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades genom en manifesttematisk innehållsanalys med ett fenomenologiskt inslag.

Resultatet visade att faktorerna krav, kontroll, stöd och stress har förbättrats sedan införandet av den nya arbetsmetoden Vanguard. Resultatet visade att de arbetsrelaterade kraven har förändrats från att vara en negativ faktor som orsakade stress, till att istället vara något positivt som personalen utvecklas av som individer. Delaktighet och inflytande ökade på arbetsplatsen i och med att personalen själva började planera sitt arbetet, vilket bidrog till en ökad känsla av kontroll. Socialt stöd förbättrades när de under förändringsarbetet blev mindre grupper och på så vis lärde känna varandra bättre. Stress är inte längre som tidigarerelaterat till hög arbetsbelastning, utan uppkommer snarare om problem uppstår inom arbetsgruppen.

Slutsatsen är att krav, kontroll, stöd och stress är viktiga faktorer i arbetslivet som antingen påverkar hälsan negativt eller positivt. Vanguard som arbetsmetod har bidragit med en positiv inverkan på den undersökta arbetsgruppen och förbättrat den upplevda hälsan hos arbetstagarna.
