Abstract [en]

The main purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how influencers and young people express themselves about anxiety on TikTok. To answer the purpose of the study a document study was conducted, where videos and comment fields were studied, the result was analyzed with a social constructionist perspective. The results showed that on TikTok influencers share videos with content related to symptoms of anxiety. Influencers and young people share their own experiences of anxiety or give tips on how to deal with anxiety. In social work, it is important to be where young people are, as today’s young people grow up partly in an online world. And therefore, it is of great importance that professionals working with children and young people are also on social media, as they can reach out to young people in a different way than they can do in real life.

Abstract [sv]

Den här studiens syfte var att beskriva och analysera hur influencers och unga uttrycker sig om ångest på TikTok. För att besvara studiens syfte gjordes en dokumentstudie, där videos och kommentarsfält studerades och resultatet analyserades med hjälp av ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv. Resultatet visade på att influencers på TikTok delar videos med innehåll som rör symptom på ångest. Influencers och unga delar med sig av sin erfarenhet av ångest eller ger tips på hur man kan hantera ångest samt stöttande ord. Inom socialt arbete är det viktigt att finnas där unga är, då dagens unga till stor del växer upp i en värld online och därför är det av stor vikt att professioner som arbetar med barn och unga också befinner sig på sociala medier, då de kan nå ut till unga på ett annat sätt än vad de kan göra ute i den riktiga verkligheten.
