Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur utryckningspersonal upplevde och förhöll sig till enplanerad övergång från könsuppdelade till gemensamma omklädningsrum. En kvalitativmetod användes där nio medarbetare inom räddningstjänsten intervjuades. Materialetanalyserade genom en induktiv tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att omklädningsrummetbetraktades som en central psykosocial arena för återhämtning och informell debriefing. Dennuvarande uppdelningen upplevde skapa sociala barriärer och en oavsiktlig exkludering avkvinnlig personal. Övergången sågs som en möjlighet till ökad integration men väckte ävenfrågor kring balansen mellan personlig integritet och operativ effektivitet vid larm. Tydliginformation och gemensamma förhållningsregler framstod som avgörande faktorer förpersonalens trygghet under förändringsprocessen. Slutsatsen var att förändringen innebar enviktig omförhandling av sociala normer och att en framgångsrik implementering kräverhänsyn till både praktiska och relationella aspekter för att främja en inkluderande arbetsmiljö.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to investigate how emergency personnel experienced andrelated to a planned transition from gender-segregated to shared locker rooms. A qualitativemethod was used, involving interviews with nine employees within the rescue service. Thedata was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The results showed that the locker roomwas regarded as a central psychosocial arena for recovery and informal debriefing. Currentsegregation was perceived to create social barriers and exclusion for female personnel. Thetransition was seen as an opportunitu for increased integration but also raised concernsregarding the balance between personal integrity and operational effciency. Clear informationand shared rules of conduct emerged as crucial for te staff´s sense fo security during theprocess. The conclusion was that the transition involved a renegotiation of social norms andthat successful implementation requires consideration of obth practical and relational aspectsto promote an inclusive work enviroment.
