I väntan på beslut om uppehållstillstånd : Om asylsökandes ohälsa och känsla av sammanhang under asylprocessen

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study was to examine what kind of experience social workers in the voluntary sector has of the health amongst asylum seekers in the asylum process. The aim has also been to construe the social workers statement due to a sense of coherence. The analysis was based on the theories of the salutogenesis and the sense of coherence by Antonovsky. The interviews were based on qualitative interviews with five social workers from different organizations in the Swedish voluntary sector. The interviews were thereafter analyzed with a thematic analysis method. The result indicates that the health amongst asylum seekers is worse during the asylum process and that their sense of coherence is weak during this period of time.
