Abstract [sv]

Studien syftar till att belysa en aspekt av livsvillkoren för personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Hur professionen inom LSS uppfattar och resonerar om klienters sexuella behov. För underlag till vår studie använde vi oss av kvalitativa intervjuer av professionella som dagligen genom sina arbeten kommer i kontakt med människor med funktionsnedsättning. Arbetet har analyserats utifrån teoretiska perspektiv så som stigmatisering och skam.

Hur beskriver professionella att klienternas sexuella behov uppmärksammas? Hur uppfattar professionella sina möjligheter att möta dessa behov? Lagstiftning som LSS och Socialtjänstlagen skall ge funktionshindrade möjligheter till ett "normalt" liv så som icke funktionshindrade i samhället. Även FNs rättigheter ger vid handen att behov som rätt till sexualitet är av vikt även för funktionshindrade.

Resultatet visar att sexualitet hos människor med funktionsnedsättningar fortfarande är skamfullt att samtala om. Avseende möjlighet att stödja funktionshindrade till att bygga ett förhållande, så har professionen kommit olika långt i hur de bemöter klienten. Resultatet visar vidare att den funktionsnedsattas sexualitet till viss del uppmärksammas och att det kan skilja sig åt hur professionen bemöter detta. Inom en del verksamhet är det mer tillåtet med sexualhjälpmedel medan det är mindre tillåtande vid andra boenden.

Abstract [en]

The study aim to highlight one aspect of the lives of people with disabilities. How the professionals within LSS perceive and reason about clients sexual needs. For input to our study, we used qualitative interviews of professionals who through their daily basis work are in contact with people with disabilities. The work has been analyzed by theoretical perspectives such as stigma and shame.

How do professional describe how cients sexual needs are intented to? How do professionals do about the opportunities to meet those needs? Legislation to LSS and Social Services Act shall provide opportunities to have such a "normal" life as nondisabled people in society. Even UN has suggested that it is important even for people with disabilities.

The result shows that the sexuality of people with disabilities is still shameful to talk about. Regarding the possibility of supporting disabled people to build a relationship, has the profession reach different stages of how they respond to the client. The results further shows that the disabled people´s sexuality to some extent recognized and that it may vary how the profession responds to this. In some social businesses, it is more accepted sexual aids, while it is less tolerant at other accommodations.
