Abstract

In Sweden, professionalization projects in disability care services are currently being undertaken in order to differentiate and establish a professional identity for professionals within care work. The aim of this paper was to analyse the experiences of care workers’ meaning of the professionalization process concerning their occupation and their occupational identity in relation to tasks they perform in front-line contacts with persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities at respite care service homes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten care workers. The meaning of the professionalization projects is an ongoing process of a connected mission, meaning that the care work is performed in close contact with care receivers and that it takes place within an informal and free framework, predicated on a logic of possessing a particular kind of “care-feeling.”

发展护理专业人员:改变瑞典的残疾服务
在瑞典,目前正在进行残疾护理服务的专业化项目,以便在护理工作中区分和确立专业人员的专业身份。本研究的目的是分析在暂托服务院中,护理员在前线接触智障及发展性残疾人士时,其职业职业化过程的意义及职业认同的经验。对10名护理人员进行了半结构化访谈。专业化项目的意义是一个相互关联的任务的持续过程,这意味着护理工作是在与护理接受者密切联系的情况下进行的,它发生在一个非正式的、自由的框架内,以拥有一种特殊的“护理感”的逻辑为基础。
