Meaningful leisure time and its impact on mental health in children and adolescents : Social workers perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Barn och ungdomars psykiska hälsa gynnas av en meningsfull fritid. Syftet med studien var att undersöka socialarbetares upplevelse av hur en meningsfull fritid påverkar barn och ungdomars psykiska hälsa, samt att belysa socialarbetares integrering av meningsfull fritid i sitt dagliga arbete med barn och ungdomar. Metoden i denna studie var kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex socionomer. Med hjälp av riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys identifierades teman utifrån teorin salutogenes samt begreppen KASAM och empowerment för att jämföra insamlade data och tidigare forskning. Resultatet visar att en meningsfull fritid är viktigt för barn och ungdomars psykiska hälsa, men vad som är meningsfull fritid är individuellt. Informanterna betonade bland annat socioekonomiska hinder och samhälleliga möjligheter som finns för att barn och ungdomar ska ha en meningsfull fritid. Resultatet visar även att socialarbetare ger barn och ungdomar verktyg att själv hantera sin psykiska hälsa. 

Abstract [en]

Children and adolescents' mental health benefits from meaningful leisure activities. This study aimed to explore social workers' experiences of how meaningful leisure impacts the mental health of children and adolescents, and to highlight how social workers integrate meaningful leisure into their daily work with these groups. The method used in this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews with six social workers. Using directed qualitative content analysis, themes were identified based on the theory of salutogenesis and the concepts of Sense of Coherence and empowerment to compare collected data with previous research. The results indicate that meaningful leisure is crucial for the mental health of children and adolescents, but what constitutes meaningful leisure is individual. The informants emphasized socioeconomic barriers and societal opportunities for children and adolescents to engage in meaningful leisure activities. The findings also show that social workers provide tools for children and adolescents to manage their mental health independently.
