Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftade till att öka förståelsen för hur mottagandet av äldre invandrare kan upplevas i en svensk medelstor kommun. Frågeställningarna rörde hur företrädare för invandrades egna organisationer och yrkesverksamma uppfattar att mottagandet fungerar. För att undersöka detta har dokument rörande mottagandet av invandrare i kommunen undersökts. Företrädare för tre olika invandrarorganisationer har intervjuats enskilt och tre yrkesverksamma kommunala tjänstemän har deltagit i en fokusgruppsintervju i ämnet. Med hjälp av Aaron Antonovskys individteori känsla av sammanhang (KASAM), Roine Johanssons organisationsteori och Berth Danermarks tankar om samverkan har materialet analyserats hermeneutiskt. Studiens resultat visade att ingen särskild planering görs för att ta emot äldre invandrare. Både företrädarna för invandrarorganisationerna och de yrkesverksamma var kritiska till mottagandet i kommunen. Kritiken rörde bristen på planering och samarbete mellan organisationer som möter invandrare. Särskilt påpekades vikten av att tillvarata kunskaper från integrerade landsmän för att skapa förståelse för kulturella skillnader.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to enhance the understanding of how the reception of older immigrants can be perceived in a swedish medium-sized municipality. The questions asked was how representatives from immigrant associations and municipality officials looked upon the reception. To investigate this have documents concerning the reception of immigrants been analysed. Representatives from three immigrant associations have been interviewed, and three municipality officials partook in a focusgroupinterview. Theories used to analyze the material were Aaron Antonovskys theory sense of coherence (KASAM), Roine Johanssons organisational theory and Berth Danermarks thoughts on cooperation. The result from the study indicated that no special planning is made for the reception of older immigrants. Both the representatives and the officials were critical of the reception. The criticism concerned the lack of planning and cooperation between organisations that meet immigrants. The importance of using the knowledge from integrated countrymen was stressed to create understanding for cultural differences.
