Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka upplevelser, tankar och känslor frivilligt ensamstående mammor har gällande sitt föräldrablivande, i synnerhet i relation till sin kontakt med mödrahälsovården. Ensamstående mammor som genomgått assisterad befruktning i Sverige (N=10) deltog i studien. Datainsamlingen genomfördes via semistrukturerade intervjuer med hjälp av en intervjuguide. Materialet analyserades tematiskt, där två huvudteman med tre respektive underteman genererades. Det första huvudtemat Jag är stark, men gruppen behöver skyddas illustrerade deltagarnas uppfattning om gruppen frivilligt ensamstående mammor som sårbar, men att de inte identifierade samma sårbarhet hos sig själva. Det andra huvudtemat Jag är som alla andra, men... (More)

Det andra huvudtemat Jag är som alla andra, men vill att vården ska anpassas efter mig rörde de motstridiga behoven att bli behandlad som vilken person som helst inom mödrahälsovården, men samtidigt få individanpassad vård utifrån att de är frivilligt ensamstående. Resultatet illustrerade således till synes paradoxala behov hos deltagarna i sin kontakt med mödrahälsovården. Studien implicerar att paradoxen kan undvikas om personalen inom mödrahälsovården förhåller sig till individen de möter snarare än gruppen hon tillhör. (Less)
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the experiences, thoughts and feelings of solo mothers by choice, regarding their transition to parenthood, with special regard to their contact with the maternal health-services. Solo mothers by choice who had gone through assisted fertilization in Sweden (N=10) participated through a semi structured interview carried out with the help of an interview guide. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data and two main themes, with three sub themes each, were generated. The first main theme I am strong, but the group must be protected illustrated a perception, among participants, of solo mothers by choice as vulnerable, although they themselves did not identify with this vulnerability. The second main... (More)

The second main theme I am like everyone else, but I would like the healthcare to be accommodated to my needs regarded the participants’ conflicting needs to be treated like everyone else within the maternal healthcare services while at the same time wanting adaptations to the health services’ praxis in order to better suit their needs as solo mothers. The study’s results illustrate what may at first be considered paradoxical expectations and needs in the participants’ contact with the maternal health-services. The study implies that the paradox could be avoided if the staff within the maternal health-services focused on the individual they meet rather than the group to which she belongs. (Less)
