Blir du inte sedd stannar du slutligen hemma : En studie om hälsofrämjande arbete med hemmasittande gymnasieelever för återgång till skolan

Sammanfattning: Previous research about dropout-students where the student has a long absence from school shows different complicated causes to them staying at home. Non secondary education leads to less chances of work and eventually a worse quality of life, often related to mental illness. The purpose of the study was to investigate the causes of staying at home from school, how the professional closest to these students work, and with what resources they can get adolescents back to school. From three research questions we have investigated the professionals perceive the courses about staying at home from school, how the different professionals with the dropout-students work and which factors has according to the professionals greatest impact to get the dropout-students back to school. The result has come from interviews with different professionals that later are thematically analyzed with help from the ecology development, salutogenesis and SOC (Sense of Coherence). It showed that combinations of different courses for example neuropsychiatric disabilities, mental illness, bad relationships and lack of support may be behind the adolescents long-term school absence. Collaboration and good relations between home and school and with other professionals is important to strengthen the individuals own resources for a comeback.
