Abstract
In this master thesis the faith of hospital nursing aides (Swedish: sjukvårdsbiträden) in the Swedish public healthcare system is described. Nursing aide was in 1980 the most common occupation in the Swedish healthcare system, but the occupation gradually disappeared during 1980s and 1990s, only to recently (in 2019) being reinstated by some public healthcare providers.
This thesis aims to establish when the nursing aide occupation disappeared, as earlier research has failed to do this, relying on official statistics which do not provide an adequate nomenclature for the study of this occupational group. In this thesis statistical data was gathered from printed sources regarding the years 1977-2007, this unique assembly allowed for the... (More)

This thesis aims to establish when the nursing aide occupation disappeared, as earlier research has failed to do this, relying on official statistics which do not provide an adequate nomenclature for the study of this occupational group. In this thesis statistical data was gathered from printed sources regarding the years 1977-2007, this unique assembly allowed for the construction of timeseries, hence establishing when the nursing aide occupation was abrogated.
This thesis also aims to describe relevant (employers and employees organisations respectively, and the state) actors accounts on the changes in Swedish nursing staff in general, and the decline of nursing aides in particular, during the studied time period. This was investigated thru a systematic review of printed material published by these actors. These accounts are in this thesis analysed on the bases of the interests of the actors and are understood thru social closure theory and Freidsons ideal typology of bases for the control of the division of labour.

Popular Abstract (Swedish)
I denna uppsats analyseras statistik och skriftligt källmaterial om personal i den svenska sjukvården 1977–2007, med ett särskilt fokus på sjukvårdsbiträden. Denna yrkesgrupp var länge den vanligaste inom svensk sjukvård, men kom sedermera att förvinna. På senare år har dock gruppen börjat komma tillbaka, exempelvis har Sahlgrenska universitetssjukhuset i Göteborg återinfört yrkeskategorin.
I uppsatsen presenteras statistik som visar när sjukvårdsbiträdena försvann. Utöver att presentera statistik har källmaterial samma från tidsperiod studerats. Källmaterialet består av olika typer av rapporter och dylikt från fackföreningar, den dåvarande arbetsgivareorganisationen Landstingsförbundet samt statliga organ.

I uppsatsen presenteras statistik som visar när sjukvårdsbiträdena försvann. Utöver att presentera statistik har källmaterial samma från tidsperiod studerats. Källmaterialet består av olika typer av rapporter och dylikt från fackföreningar, den dåvarande arbetsgivareorganisationen Landstingsförbundet samt statliga organ.
De olika organisationernas ståndpunkter analyseras och kontextualiseras med hjälp av sociologisk teori kring social stängning, hur olika grupper i samhället försöker bevara och befästa fördelar genom uteslutning av andra. Samt en så kallad idealtypologi för arbetsdelningens organisering. Det vill säga olika sätt att förstå den process där vi organiserar och fördelar arbetsuppgifter mellan olika yrkesgrupper och individer i samhället. (Less)
