Abstract [sv]

Tidigare forskning visar på en bristande tillgång på familjehem och att intresset i Sverige är lågt. Därför önskade vi få en djupare förståelse i ämnet och genomförde fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem yrkesverksamma personer inom den kommunala familjehemsvården. Deras berättelser beskriver den bristande tillgången på familjehem utifrån deras arbete. Faktorer som påverkar vem som blir familjehem undersöktes och presenteras utifrån genomförda intervjuer. Systemteori, inre och yttre motivationer samt altruism har använts i studiens analys för att reflektera och beskriva de resultat som framkommit. För att presentera resultatet användes en tematisk analysmetod samt citat. Trots ett genuint intresse av att bli familjehem, visade resultatet av studien att det råder en bristande tillgång på familjehem vilket skapar konsekvenser för de barn och ungdomar som är i behov av en placering. 

Abstract [en]

Previous research shows that there is a shortage of family homes in Sweden and that the interest of becoming one is low. Therefore, we wanted a deeper understanding of the subject and conducted four semi-structured interviews with five professionals in municipal family home care. Their stories described the shortage of family homes from their perspective. Who becomes a family home were investigated and presented based on the interviews. Systems theory, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and altruism were used in the study ́s analysis to reflect and describe the results. A thematic analysis method and quotes were used to present the results. Despite a genuine interest in becoming a family home, the results of the study showed that there is a shortage of family homes, which creates consequences for the children and young people in need of a family home placement.
