The contact person intervention - a balance between proximity and distance : The contact persons’ perspective on relationship building (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka kontaktpersonskap med fokus på kontaktpersoners erfarenheter av relationsprocessen med ungdomar. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ metod där empirin insamlades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att kontaktpersonerna fick olika roller i insatsen. Ömsesidighet, tillit, trygghet, öppenhet, äkthet, anpassning och tillgänglighet framkom som centralt i att bygga och upprätthålla relationer. Parternas kännedom om varandra, aktiviteter och kontaktpersonens förmåga att känna in ungdomen visade sig också vara centralt. Anledningar till avslut var olika och kontaktpersonerna kunde uppleva både lättnad, glädje och tomhet. Relationerna kunde fortsätta även efter avslut. Resultaten av denna studie visade sig i hög grad överensstämma med tidigare forskning. Tidigare forskning på den svenska kontaktpersonsinsatsen visade sig dock vara högst begränsad. Utifrån detta är det av stor vikt att vidare undersöka kontaktpersoninsatsen och relationsskapande med ungdomen för att kunna definiera utvecklingsområden med avsikt att effektivisera insatsen. 

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to examine the contact person intervention focusing on contact persons' experiences of the relationship process with adolescents. Based on a qualitative method, the empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The result show that the contact persons had different roles in the intervention. Mutuality, trust, security, openness, authenticity, adaptation, and accessibility emerged as central to building and maintaining relationships. Knowledge of one another, activities, and the contact person's ability to empathize with the adolescent also proved central. The reasons for termination differed and the contact persons could experience relief, joy, and emptiness. Relationships could continue even after termination. The results proved highly consistent with previous research.However, previous research on the Swedish intervention proved to be very limited. It is of great importance to further investigate the intervention and relationship building with the adolescent to define developmental areas to make the intervention more effective.
