It can also be deduced that social workers in smaller cities have recent collaborations with psychiatric units. Regarding all respondents, the social workers see that cooperation is crucial to be able to meet the client’s/patient’s needs, but despite this, shortcomings are emphasized in how the cooperation presents itself. The intention and vision of the study were to be able to answer whether the size of the municipality is important, which can be confirmed. (Less)
