Healthcare workers' experience of work-life balance : A study after the introduction of the new directive regarding 11 hours of continuous daily rest (English)
Abstract [sv]

Under hösten 2023 infördes ett nytt direktiv gällande 11 timmars sammanhängande dygnsvilaför anställda inom Sveriges kommuner och regioner. Direktivet har förändratarbetsförutsättningarna för vårdpersonal, en yrkesgrupp som ofta arbetar skift. Syftet medstudien var därför att undersöka vårdpersonals upplevelse av work-life balance vid skiftarbetesedan det nya direktivet trädde i kraft. För att undersöka detta genomfördes en kvalitativstudie bestående av åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med undersköterskor och sjuksköterskor,vilka analyserades med en induktiv tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att respondenternalägger stor vikt vid att försöka separera arbetslivet från privatlivet för att på så sätt skapabalans i livet. Trots detta upplevde dock majoriteten av respondenterna att arbetet går ut överprivatlivet. Resultatet tyder på att det nya direktivet gällande 11 timmars sammanhängandedygnsvila har haft en negativ inverkan på respondenternas work-life balance
