"Vi behöver lära oss att reflektera om normer" - En reflexiv tematisk analys om antidiskrimineringsexperters erfarenheter av att arbeta hälsofrämjande för hbtqi-personer på arbetsplatsen
(2024) PSPR14 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsa. Denna studie undersökte antidiskrimineringsexperters erfarenheter av arbete med aktiva åtgärder utifrån diskrimineringslagstiftningen för att främja hbtqi-personers arbetsrelaterade hälsa. Syftet var att sammanställa dessa erfarenheter för att stärka kunskapen om hur arbetsplatser kan arbeta med aktiva åtgärder. Studien utgick från följande... (More)

Syftet var att sammanställa dessa erfarenheter för att stärka kunskapen om hur arbetsplatser kan arbeta med aktiva åtgärder. Studien utgick från följande frågeställning: Hur beskriver antidiskrimineringsexperter att arbetsplatser, utifrån diskrimineringslagstiftningen, bör arbeta för att främja arbetsrelaterad hälsa för hbtqi-personer på bästa sätt? Denna kvalitativa studie inkluderar nio intervjuer med personer utifrån deras expertis inom antidiskriminerande arbete med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades i en reflexiv tematisk analys och utmynnade i två huvudteman: Förståelse - vad behöver vi tänka på? och Verkligheten - var är vi och hur kommer vi framåt? Resultatet visar att lagstiftningen som aktiva åtgärder utgår ifrån är diffus och svårtolkad, vilket komplicerar arbetet med aktiva åtgärder och dess implementering. Resultatet visar vidare att ett normkritiskt perspektiv är viktigt för förändring och att kontinuerlig reflektion krävs. Studien poängterar vikten av ett situationsanpassat, fortgående arbetssätt mot diskriminering som mynnar ut i konkreta handlingar.

- Abstract
- Research shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy working environment can serve an important role in the support of LGBTQI-people’s health. This study examined the experiences of anti-discrimination experts regarding their work using active measures based on Swedish discrimination legislation to improve the work-related health of LGBTQI-people.

The promotion of a healthy working environment can serve an important role in the support of LGBTQI-people’s health. This study examined the experiences of anti-discrimination experts regarding their work using active measures based on Swedish discrimination legislation to improve the work-related health of LGBTQI-people. The purpose of this study was to gather their experiences in order to promote better knowledge on how to work with active measures in the workplace. This study was centered around the following research question: How, according to anti-discrimination experts, can workplaces improve the work-related health of LGBTQI-people? In this qualitative study, we interviewed ten anti-discrimination experts in semi-structured interviews, analysed with reflective thematic analysis and two main themes were identified: Insight - what do we need to consider? and Reality - Where are we and where do we go from here? The results show that the legislation regarding active measures is vague and hard to interpret, which makes working with and implementing active measures more complicated. The results also show that an anti-oppressive understanding is important for progression, where continuous reflection is necessary. The study underlines the importance of a situation-based, ongoing work against discrimination leading to concrete actions. (Less)
