Sammendrag:Studien baserte seg på intervju med 15 brukere. Resultatet av studien viser at recoveryorienterte fagfolk var de som hadde mot til å takle kompleksiteten og individualiteten i brukernes endringsprosesser, og som var i stand til å bruke sine faglige ferdigheter og kompetanse i et samarbeid med brukeren. En recovery-orientering blant fagfolk innebaerer vilje og evne til å forme tjenester til de behov og preferanser som hver enkelt bruker har.Omsorgsbiblioteket har ikke tilgang til å publisere dette dokumentet i fulltekst.

In this study, our aims were to evaluate a professional collaborative model and to explore professionals' perceptions of collaboration generally. Focus group interviews were performed with 18 health and non-health professionals caring for children diagnosed and treated for cancer. Collaboration was considered significant for professionals themselves and the families they work with. Focus group participants support the importance of arranging collaborative meetings at an early stage of the child's illness and the family's crisis. Many professionals, working in the child's home community, were alone with the responsibility for follow-up care, but only a few of these professionals received supervision. More frequent contact with the paediatric clinic was desired, as well as a more active role for the general practitioner. Professionals perceived the model as being a valuable support system for longterm planning of follow-up care, allowing parents to collaborate with the care team. It is essential however, to emphasize the importance of having well-established routines, as well as the use of a coordinator. This can be important for enhancing communication between professionals and for obtaining a well-functioning collaboration.

The purpose of this article is to present and discuss findings from a qualitative study within mental health centres called 'meeting-places' in the community. Ten service users were interviewed in order to explore and gain insight into what visiting the centres might mean in the daily life situations of people who experience mental health problems. The interviewees were recruited during fieldwork within these centres, aiming to facilitate the inclusion of service users who wished to share their experiences, but who might not otherwise come forward as research participants. Three main themes were identified in the data analysis: 'To belong and be recognized', 'Needs for support and challenges', and 'Participation and everyday life'. Flexible community mental health services can be helpful by offering support and challenges as well as possibilities for mutual relationships. However, the study also highlights a lack of opportunities for participation and recognition in the wider society.
