Tiltak for å bedre sykepleiernes arbeidsmiljø er ofte individrettet

This chapter provides an overview of key concepts and theoretical perspectives used in the anthology and points out fundamental challenges in the practice of professional welfare. ‘Competence’ and ‘knowledge’ often have different meanings, and there is a need for increased awareness of the understanding of these concepts. This chapter highlights how the managerial discretion, learning, system blindness, power executing and paradoxes may cause tensions and how these in turn may inhibit the realization of required changes. Internal or external job recruitment may have an impact on managers’ freedom to act. To raise the quality and competence within the professional welfare services, it is necessary to be aware of the unique and multi-faceted challenges in the field.

“…Disse danner i neste fase grunnlaget for dybdefortolkningen. Meningsenheten som kommer fram gjennom denne fortolkningen, blir lest og reflektert mot den naive lesningen, studiens problemstilling og teoretiske perspektiver (Lindseth & Norberg, 2004).…”

“…Hun har på denne måten skaffet seg et handlingsrom som gir henne større mulighet til å oppdage eventuell sykdomsutvikling hos pasientene. Rammebetingelsene sykepleierne jobber innenfor, er ikke lagt for å utføre sykepleie i tråd med de tradisjonelle sykepleiefaglige verdiene (Korsvold & Thomassen, 2018). Forskning viser at 54 prosent av sykepleierne sier at de daglig utfører oppgaver som helsefagarbeidere kunne ha gjort (Johansen, 2019).…”

This chapter on the challenges of interdisciplinary co-operation between Municipal Health/Social Care and Child Protection respectively is based on the directives of public authorities that interactions often challenge interdisciplinary co-operation. The research studies on which we based the discussion indicate that there are several challenges associated with this form of co-operation. The discussion has its basis in the social constructivist perspective, where the focus is on the implications of the ontologies and epistemologies for interdisciplinary co-operation. Further, the discussion shows that interdisciplinary co-operation challenges the hierarchy of knowledge and user participation within the services. The chapter argues that interdisciplinary co-operation has, to some extent, the potential for further knowledge development.

“…Forskning viser at 54 prosent av sykepleierne sier at de daglig utfører oppgaver som helsefagarbeidere kunne ha gjort (Johansen, 2019). Dette er et problem arbeidsgiverne bør rydde opp i, blant annet fordi det har utviklet seg til å bli et arbeidsmiljøproblem for noen av sykepleierne (Korsvold & Thomassen, 2018).…”

Background: Governmental documents must provide guidance and knowledge for social workers with a focus on child care. They must describe legislative changes, meet employee expectations and evaluate any reforms. To do so, it is important that the language and use of any concepts are interpreted in the same way. One of the terms used by the government in Norway is the word ‘competence’, which intends to describe to employees in social care services their tasks. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight challenges related to governmental use of the concept of the word ‘competence’. The term is used frequently, in the assumption that there is a common and equal interpretation of the word. Method: This study is a text analysis of relevant governmental documents published from 2014. The purpose of this method is to create structured data out of the documents. Theory: The study applies the perspectives of hermeneutics and phenomenology, combined with the organizational theories by Skau (2017) and Røvik (2007). Result: We have three findings concerning the term ‘competence’. The first is that the term is barely defined. The second is that the term is used without a proper structure. The third is that there are few governmental documents that are aimed specifically at child health care workers. Conclusion: This study shows that the term ‘competence’, which is used frequently in various contexts, lacks proper definition. This may lead to confusion and misunderstanding with respect to governmental directions and intents versus professional job execution amongst employees at social care services in Norway.
