Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Fysisk inaktivitet och mental ohälsa ökar bland barn och ungdomar i Sverige. Forskning visar att beteenden som barn har ofta fortsätter i vuxen ålder, och att fysisk aktivitet är positivt för både hälsan och studieresultat. Trots detta finns det nästan inga fysioterapeuter i den svenska skolan. Av denna anledning intervjuades de som arbetar i elevhälsoteamet.

 

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur de professioner som ingår i elevhälsoteam på kommunala grundskolor tänker kring behov av och möjligheter för att inkludera fysioterapeut i elevhälsoteamet.

Metod: Kvalitativ design, gjord med intervjuer och analyserad med induktiv ansatts. Urvalet var åtta personer som representerade fyra av de professioner som arbetar inom elevhälsoteamet.

 

Resultat: Fyra kategorier och tio underkategorier utformades. Kategorierna var: Kunskap om fysioterapi, Elevhälsoteamets uppdrag, behov av kompetens och Styrande faktorer. Dessa kategorier talar om informanternas förkunskap om fysioterapeuter, vad elevhälsoteamet gör idag, vad de ser för kompetensbehov och vad som styr ifall fysioterapeuter skall komma in i skolan.

 

Slutsatser: Informanterna såg positivt på att ta in fysioterapeuter i skolan. Hinder identifierades i form av ekonomi och lagstadgad styrning. Det finns ett behov av att marknadsföra vad fysioterapeuter kan göra för skolan till de som tar beslut kring elevhälsoteamet.

Abstract [en]

Background: Physical inactivity and mental illness is growing among children and youths in Sweden. Research shows that the behaviours that children have often continue in adulthood, and that physical activity is good for both general health and academic results. Despite this, there are almost no physiotherapists in Swedish schools. Because of this those who work in the student health team were interviewed.

 

Aim: The aim of this study is to survey what professions that are included in the student health teams in municipality schools think about the need of and possibilities for physiotherapists to be included in the student health team.

 

Method: Qualitive design conducted with interviews and analysed with inductive approach. The included participants were eight persons who represented four of the professions that work within the student health team.

 

Result: Four categories and ten subcategories were formed. the categories were: knowledge of physical therapy, the student health teams mission, need for competence and controlling factors. These categories convey the informant’s knowledge about physiotherapists, what the student health team does today, their need for additional competence and what determines whether physiotherapists can work within schools.

 

Conclusion: The informants were positive towards possibly having physiotherapists in schools. Hurtles were identified as economic and law. There is a need for physiotherapists to market what they can contribute to the school to those in power over the student health team.
