- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to explore how care managers and counsellors, who meet seniors in their daily work, experience the interaction between social services and health care when it comes to the elderly's mental illness. The study had a qualitative approach and included six semi structured interviews with three care managers in senior care and three counsellors in health care. Questions concerning the division of responsibilities and challenges the professionals identify in collaboration formed the basis for the investigation. For the analysis the theory of Ageism and the concept of Collaboration were used. The study shows that in several situations there is a well-functioning collaboration between the social services and the health... (More)

For the analysis the theory of Ageism and the concept of Collaboration were used. The study shows that in several situations there is a well-functioning collaboration between the social services and the health care section. However, most respondents chose to focus on the challenges that come with encountering issues with seniors' mental health. The shortcomings that were highlighted by the interviewees concerning collaboration were based on a lack of resources, a lack of knowledge in the field and a lack of the right interventions to be able to prevent and help the elderly from their mental illness, but also, the fact that the seniors rarely get the help they need for mental illness precisely because they are seniors.

- Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare och kuratorer, som möter äldre i sitt dagliga arbete, resonerar kring samverkan mellan socialtjänst och hälso– och sjukvården när det kommer till äldres psykiska ohälsa. Studien var av kvalitativ karaktär och innefattade sex semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tre biståndshandläggare inom äldreomsorgen och tre kuratorer inom hälso- och sjukvården. Frågor om ansvarsfördelningen mellan instanserna och vilka utmaningar de yrkesverksamma identifierade i samverkan låg som grund för studien. För att analysera materialet applicerade det teoretiska begreppen ålderism respektive samverkan. Studien visade att det i flera sammanhang upplevs finnas en väl fungerande samverkan mellan... (More)

Frågor om ansvarsfördelningen mellan instanserna och vilka utmaningar de yrkesverksamma identifierade i samverkan låg som grund för studien. För att analysera materialet applicerade det teoretiska begreppen ålderism respektive samverkan. Studien visade att det i flera sammanhang upplevs finnas en väl fungerande samverkan mellan socialtjänst och hälso- och sjukvården. Dock valde de flesta respondenterna att fokusera på de utmaningar som följer i arbetet med äldres mentala ohälsa. De brister som framkom under intervjuerna när det kommer till samverkan grundar sig i resursbrist, brist på kunskap inom området och avsaknad av rätt insatser för att kunna förebygga och hjälpa äldre ur deras psykiska ohälsa, men även det faktum att gruppen äldre sällan får den hjälp de behöver vid psykisk ohälsa just för att de är äldre.
