Abstract [sv]

Postpartum depression drabbar många nyblivna mammor och kan påverka både mammans mående samt hennes relation till barnet. För att få stöd under graviditet och efter förlossning kan mamman vända sig till Familjecentraler som är en mötesplats för flera professioner som tillsammans erbjuder stöd. Av den anledningen väcktes intresset att undersöka kuratorer på Familjecentraler och deras erfarenhet av att arbeta med postpartum depression. Syftet med studien är att utforska familjecentralkuratorernas roll vid arbetet med postpartum depression. Studiens material har samlats in genom sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med familjecentralskuratorer. Intervjumaterialet har sedan analyserats genom en tematisk analys inspirerad av rollteori. Resultatet belyser de arbetsroller som familjecentralskuratorerna intar i sitt arbete med postpartum depression. Den tematiska analysen resulterade i följande teman som tillsammans speglar hur kuratorerna ser på sin arbetsroll: förebyggaren, uppfångaren, stödjaren och inlyssnaren. Rollen som förebyggaren innebär att de arbetar förebyggande med föräldragrupper men även i det enskilda samtalet med klienter. Kuratorerna antar en roll där de är uppfångare vid hembesök och “fångar upp” de som riskerar att annars gå obehandlade. När det kommer till rollen som stödjaren består mycket av berättandets makt och där har det stödjande samtalet en central roll. I sin roll som inlyssnaren består mycket av rollen av deras frihet från dokumentation och journaler, vilket gör klienten trygg att öppna upp sig om sitt dåliga mående. 

Abstract [en]

Postpartum depression affects many new mothers and can affect both her own well-being and the relationship with the baby. To get support during pregnancy and after childbirth, the woman can turn to Family Centers, which are a meeting place for several professionals where they offer support together. For that reason, the interest was raised to investigate counselors experience with postpartum depression. The purpose of the study was to explore the role of Family center counselors in working with postpartum depression. The study's material has been collected through six semi-structured interviews with counselors at the Family Center. The interview material has then been analyzed through a thematic analysis inspired by role theory. The results revealed the specific roles that the counselors assume while working with individuals experiencing postpartum depression. The thematic analysis resulted in the following themes which together reflect how the counselors perceive their work role: the preventer, the interceptor, the supporter and the listener. The role as the preventer means that they work preventively with parent groups but also in individual conversations with clients. The counselors assume a role where they are catchers during home visits and "catch" those who otherwise risk going untreated. When it comes to the role of the supporter, much of it revolves around the power of storytelling, with supportive conversation playing a central role. In their role as the listener, much of the role consists of their freedom from documentation and records, which makes the client safe to open up about their distress.
