In order to answer the purpose, the study has been carried out through a quantitative research approach in which a questionnaire was distributed online. 108 single mothers and fathers chose to participate in the study.

The result shows that the majority of respondents' network has both strengths and weaknesses where weaknesses unfortunately are more numerous. It can be concluded that the vast majority of the respondents have a network that serves as both practical and emotional support. However, a large proportion of the parents have small networks in which one or more categories of groups are empty of people. A clear majority have few people they believe are an important and central part of their lives. Furthermore, most has a network that lacks density, which in accordance with the network theory is a shortage because the individual is in need of people in their network who talk together. (Less)

- Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka omfattning och struktur i ensamstående föräldrars sociala nätverk, samt det sociala stöd som de erhåller ur dessa. Målet har varit att synliggöra olika typer av behov som ensamstående föräldrar har samt att undersöka huruvida omfattning och/eller typen av behov, samt tillfredsställelse av behov, skiljer sig åt inom gruppen ensamstående föräldrar. För att kunna besvara syftet har studien genomförts via en kvantitativ forskningsansats där en enkätundersökning har distribuerats via Internet. 108 ensamstående mödrar och fäder valde att delta i enkätundersökningen.

Målet har varit att synliggöra olika typer av behov som ensamstående föräldrar har samt att undersöka huruvida omfattning och/eller typen av behov, samt tillfredsställelse av behov, skiljer sig åt inom gruppen ensamstående föräldrar. För att kunna besvara syftet har studien genomförts via en kvantitativ forskningsansats där en enkätundersökning har distribuerats via Internet. 108 ensamstående mödrar och fäder valde att delta i enkätundersökningen. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av respondenternas nätverk har både styrkor och svagheter där svagheterna dessvärre är fler till antalet. Det går att konstatera att de allra flesta av respondenterna har ett nätverk som fungerar som både praktiskt, emotionellt och ekonomsikt stöd. Dock har en stor andel av föräldrarna små nätverk där en eller flera kategorier av grupper står tomma på personer. En tydlig majoritet har få personer som de anser ingår som en viktig och central del i deras liv. Dessutom har de flesta ett nätverk som saknar täthet vilket i enlighet med nätverksteorin är en brist eftersom individen är i behov av människor i sitt nätverk som pratar ihop sig. (Less)
