Motivationsarbete under covid-19 pandemin - Vårdgivares erfarenheter vid en öppenvårdsmottagning för patienter med samsjuklighet och alkohol- och/eller drogproblematik

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the study is to investigate caregivers' experiences of motivational work under limited conditions for physical meetings with patients who have addiction problems. The intention was to gain a deeper understanding of what advantages and disadvantages this has entailed. Qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews was performed. Eight caregivers from a clinic for addictive disorders were interviewed. The conclusion of the study was that caregivers felt that in some cases it was more difficult to conduct motivational work over the telephone. Some difficult-to-motivate patients were considered to need physical appointments, but in some cases the telephone contact provided an opportunity to establish contact with patients who would otherwise be discharged from the clinic due to missed visits. The results also showed that telephone contact with patient who was motivated to stop using drugs worked well. Many of the caregivers wished to combine physical visits with telephone visits in the future.
