    Experiences of nurses educated outside the European Union of a Swedish bridging program and the program’s role in their integration into the nursing profession: a qualitative interview study2021In: BMC Nursing, ISSN 1472-6955, E-ISSN 1472-6955, Vol. 20, no 1, article id 7Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Countries all over the world are experiencing a shortage of registered nurses (RNs). Therefore, some countries, including Sweden, have tried to solve this by recruiting internationally educated nurses (IENs). Countries offer bridging programs as educational support to qualify IENs for nursing work in the destination country. However, there is little research on IENs’ experiences of bridging programs in European countries and how these programs facilitate their integration into the world of work and their new society. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of nurses, originally educated outside the EU (European Union)/EES, of the Swedish bridging program and of the program’s role in facilitating their integration into the nursing profession in Sweden.

    Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore the topic based on 11 informants’ perspectives and experiences. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants at one university in Sweden. Data were collected by individual interviews using a semi- structured interview guide during the year 2019 and were analysed using an interpretative thematic approach.

    Results: Two main themes emerged from the analysis: 1) Return to nursing, and 2) The bridging program as a tool for transition to nursing in Sweden. The first theme includes conditions and experiences such as personal motivation and determination, and support from others that the participants described as important in order to achieve the goal of re-establishing themselves as registered nurses in Sweden. Furthermore, the second theme describes the participants’ experiences of the bridging program as mostly positive because it led to new learning and achievements that were valuable for the transition to nursing in Sweden; however, the participants also emphasised the challenges of their transition into the nursing profession, which were related to instances of misrecognition of their professional competence and the uncertain outcome of the program.

    Conclusions: This study found that the bridging program facilitated integration into the nursing profession for nurses educated outside the EU/EES, especially knowledge gained in clinical-based training. Thus, it is important to recognise and value the IENs’ experience and previous knowledge and training when developing the bridging program’s curriculum.

    Mellan empowerment och disempowerment: - koordinerande arbete för nyanländas och utrikesföddas etablering på arbetsmarknaden inom lokal aktiveringspolitik2023In: Socialvetenskaplig tidskrift, ISSN 1104-1420, E-ISSN 2003-5624, Vol. 30, no 2, p. 583-603Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Increasing the employment rate and community establishment, as well as decreasing economic and social vulnerability, among newly-arrived migrants and foreign-born jobseekers are the objectives behind several local activation initiatives and projects around Sweden. This article is based on a study of a local activation project, primarily consisting of analyses of interviews with professional coordinators and other project actors. The aim of the article is to deepen the knowledge of the coordinated working method in local activation policy by critically analysing how different ideas about empowerment are part of the method and what significance this has in relation to newly-arrived migrants and foreign-born job seekers. The results show that the coordinating approach is based on principles that place the job-seeking individual's needs at the centre and that there is a tension in the working method between activation and labour market establishment, and social support and care. The studied activation project is based on both a liberal and radical ideology of empowerment. In practising the coordinating approach, however, a liberal ideology and understanding of empowerment dominate through its strong individual focus. The radical empowerment ideology with its structure-changing ambitions regarding the participants’ increased self-sufficiency, independence and empowerment are to a limited extent enforced within the project. The authors argue for the difficulties of using the concept of empowerment and its far-reaching liberation ambitions within the context of activation policy. Nevertheless, disciplining requirements and rules around self-sufficiency, individualised responsibility takeover and requirements for reciprocity within the activation of activities rather risk consolidating conditions of disempowerment for already vulnerable groups of job seekers.

    De första invandrarbyråerna: Om invandrares inkorporering på kommunal nivå åren 1965-19842007Licentiate thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Immigration to Sweden increased during and after the Second World War. Initially the in-crease consisted of refugees, but after the war labour migration became the dominant form of migration to Sweden. The immigrants were expected to manage the adaptation to the Swedish society on their own, possibly with the help of voluntary organizations or the company they worked for. This situation began to change in the 1960s. The immigrants’ situation received public attention and different actions were taken to reduce the risk of marginalizing the immi-grants. Many of these actions started on a local level, in the municipalities, prior to the devel-opment of the first national immigrant policy in 1975. The first local public administrations for handling immigrant incorporation developed approximately ten years before. These or-ganizations, soon to be called Immigrant bureaus, were among the first public initiatives, on both state and local level, to actively take measures to incorporate the immigrants. The licen-tiate thesis is a comparative case study of five Swedish municipalities which started Immi-grant bureaus in the middle of the 1960s. The objective of the thesis is to study the creation and development of these organizations up until 1984. Thereby, the study gives an image of the creation and development of a specific local public administration for immigrant incorpo-ration. It describes and analyzes the common features of the bureaus as well as the unique character of each individual bureau. Accordingly, a theoretical perspective which stresses the early development in an organization’s history and accentuates the importance of specific contexts for understanding different organizational developments has been used. The result shows that the immigrant bureaus were initiated by different local actors, such as the public administration, labour unions and educational associations which meant that the purposes were somewhat divergent. Yet another consequence was not only variation in development between different bureaus, but also within each of them over time.

    Against All Odds – first generation immigrants in upper secondary education2014Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The paper focuses on first generation immigrants who arrive to Sweden in the later school years. This group of students is at a major disadvantage compared to native students as well as to second generation immigrants and even to first generation immigrants who arrive before school entry. Statistics imply that a low number of “late arrived students” enter upper secondary education, and of those who do the drop-out rate is high. The educational gap between young students in Sweden is thus increasing, creating larger social inequalities between natives and foreign-born residents. In this study, however, I am interested in those examples that are exceptions to the rule – first generation immigrant students who against all odds make it to the college preparatory track. The object of the paper is to investigate aspects that contribute to school achievement and success for this group of students.

     

    An initial survey study in Malmoe, Sweden’s third largest city, showed that a majority of late arrived students had entered the same upper secondary school. The additional material consists of interviews with school personnel as well as interviews with ten students at this school who arrived to Sweden between the ages 13-16 years old. The student group is heterogeneous, different nationalities, different reasons for immigrating to Sweden and different family contexts. The material reveals that in order to get a better understanding of the aspects contributing to school achievement, school culture as well as the individual migratory experiences and social capital need to be considered, and in particular how they interlink. The paper also discusses the obstacles met by the students, especially concerning language acquisition, and the strategies involved in overcoming them.

    Från invandrarbyrå till flyktingmottagning: Fyrtio års arbete med invandrare och flyktingar på kommunal nivå2011Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The dissertation investigates what happened when a new field – the incorporation of immigrants and refugees – was to be organized at the local level in Sweden. The result shows that the public authorities during the 40 year period that the study covers struggled with several questions, such as: how they should organize this, who should carry out the work, what should be done in practice, and towards which groups should it be directed? It is around these questions that the municipal work with immigrants and refugees revolved, without finding any clear and permanent answers. I analyze this in terms of four themes: responsibility, personnel and competence structure, direction of the work, and target group, which together constitute what I call the organizations’ ‘practices of incorporation’. The main aim with the dissertation is to illuminate and analyze how these practices have developed and changed from the mid 1960’s and approximately 40 years on. To accomplish this I have conducted a historical and comparative study of eight municipalities. The material comprises several different sources, from interviews with civil servants and participant observation, to archive material and secondary literature. My theoretical perspective is mainly drawn from the sociology of organizations, with a focus on the history of organizations.

    The analysis defines two roughly defined periods, the period of immigrant service bureaus (1965-1985) and the period of refugee reception centers (1985-2008). My study of the history of the organizations shows both the change of practice that has occurred and the stability that remains at the same time. It also shows that the transition to refugee reception centers made it necessary to redefine and renegotiate the practices of incorporation. During the first 20 years covered in this dissertation, the immigrant service bureaus developed into independent administrative agencies; they became institutionalized as organizations. The break occurred as soon as the new system for refugee reception was initiated in the mid-1980s, when the role of the social welfare offices increased considerably. In recent years there are signs that labor market units in the municipalities are strengthening their role in relation to the reception centers, but also that the social welfare offices ‘working under cover’ continue to have the main responsibility for reception centers. Criticism against the role of the social welfare offices is mostly based on the accusation that they tend to make immigrants and refugees into clients, dependent on subsidies and remaining outside the labour market. In sum, the introduction of municipal refugee reception centers ultimately led to the closing of practically all immigrant service bureaus during the 1990s. In some individual cases they have lived on, or had some of their functions included in the praxis of the refugee reception centers, but on the whole they became increasingly marginalized, and finally disappeared.

    Integrating newly arrived students in upper secondary school: School staffs' perceptions and experiences2018In: ECER 2018: Inclusion and Exclusion, Resources for Educational Research?, 2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    General description:

    Newly arrived immigrant children are entering European countries in unprecedented numbers, putting increasing demands on the educational systems. The challenges for the educational systems vary according to country and relate to the size and composition of the immigrant student population as well as to the countries’ respective history of migration (Levels & Dronkers 2008). In this paper we focus on the Swedish educational system and the recent changes in the curriculum for upper secondary school launched in 2011. The reform altered the preconditions for transition to upper secondary school by significantly tightening the qualification requirements for all students, including the newly arrived students. School reforms are consequential for the staff as well as the students. We are here exploring how such consequences are described by the school staff; teachers, school leaders and liaison teachers in relation to newly arrived students. 

     

    Several researchers argue for the need of research on the interpretations of educational reforms and how the reforms are transformed in local contexts. According to Hemmings, the outcome of educational reforms depends on the dynamics in schools related to school structures, cultures, local visions and moral aspects (2012). Other scholars have emphasized the significance of teachers for the implementation of reforms and that teachers’ professional experiences influence educational practices and interpretations of institutional goals (i.e. curricula) (Everitt 2012). We address these issues in our first research question. 

     

    There is a growing body of research on newly arrived children’s experiences of school introduction in Sweden. In line with international research, the Swedish research has explored the students’ experiences of schooling and highlighted the importance of supporting relationships in school for successful careers (Skowronski 2013, Marekovic 2016, Suarez-Orozco et al. 2010, Greenman 2013). Research on teachers’ perspectives, on the other hand, highlight the dilemmas involved in reconciling educational goals for these students with national immigration policy (Arnot et.al 2009, Svensson forthcoming) and how teachers’ influence students’ educational choices (Bonizzoni et al 2014). However, research on experiences of teaching newly arrived students also point to the enrichment that is associated with this work (Wigg 2008, Devine 2011). Although extant research is increasing there is a need for research on both the staffs’ meaning-making processes and concrete strategies in daily educational practices. These issues are addressed in our second research question. 

     

    The aim of the paper is to describe school staffs’ interpretations of the latest curricular reform for upper secondary school and the consequences for the teachers’ daily educational practices. Our preliminary research questions are: 1) How does school staff describe opportunities and constraints of the new reform in relation to newly arrived students’ educational trajectories? 2) How does the staff manage the new requirements put forward by the latest reform in their daily educational practices?  

     

    Theoretical framework 

    Our point of departure is the emerging theoretical framework that emphasizes the importance of understanding interpretative processes and social interaction in research on institutions (Hallett 2010). Institutional logics, background knowledge and meaning structures of school as institution and its objectives are subject to interpretation, re-interpretations and negotiations between school staff as well as students in daily educational practices (Fine & Hallet 2014). Teachers and students engage in meaning-making processes on what is important, how goals are interpreted and put into practice, which norms and values that are considered valid. This actualizes issues of the staffs’ perceptions of what educational trajectories may be achievable for the students and the significance of such perceptions in educational and counseling situations. Theoretical concepts that are also of relevance for the analysis are, for example ‘trajectory’ (Elder 1985), and ‘imagined futures’ (Mische 2009). 

     

    Methods 

    As the aim of the project is to explore school staffs’ interpretations of the latest educational reform concerning newly arrived students, semi structured interviews were chosen (c.f Lamont & Swidler 2012). The study was conducted in one of the largest cities in Sweden and three schools were approached to be included. All three schools are public upper secondary schools. The first school is an upper secondary school offering vocational programmes such as Restaurant management and food, Business and administration, Hotel and tourism, Childcare and recreation etc. The second and third schools are both offering theoretical programmes such as the natural science programme and social science programme. 

     

    In total 14 individual interviews with school staff were conducted between May 2012 and June 2014, i.e. 1-3 years after the reform came into force. 3 persons were working as liaison teachers, 5 as tutoring teachers in classes for newly arrived students, 5 were school leaders. Also a municipal coordinator for organizing school introduction for newly arrived students was included. In the interviews with the staff several themes were discussed, such as working life experiences, the main tasks in the school, co-operation with other teachers, consequences of the school reform and the new curriculum and how the students succeed with their studies. The interviews lasted between 1-2,5 hours. All interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed before analysis.

     

    We have chosen to present the analysis by concentrating on the common patterns rather than focusing on differences between the three schools. In other words, we have conducted an across-case analysis identifying commonali­ties across cases (cf. Ayres et al 2003). The analytical procedures embrace several steps commonly used in qualitative analysis in order to identify recurrent patterns and to successively elaborate and systematize the analysis to more specific and distinct categories. The procedures embrace reading and rereading the material at several occasions both individually and in co-operation between the researchers, discussing and sorting the material to different headings, and modifying categories successively. As our approach is inductive iterative, the starting point for our analysis was the empirical material, but theoretical ideas that were grounded in the material were also used to guide and systematize the analytical work. 

     

    Expected outcomes

    Our initial analyses of the interviews so far reveal three common patterns that will be developed further in the paper: 

    1. Interpretations of the students’ educational aspirations, opportunities and obstacles for achieving the goals. This pattern reveals how teachers assess students’ backgrounds, achievements and aspirations in light of obstacles such as language skills, educational requirements and time frames according to the curriculum. 
    2. Teacher strategies for managing students’ aspirations and obstacles for achievement. This pattern is about various strategies employed by the staff in order to deal with, for example the gap between aspirations and opportunities when it comes to students’ achievements, the pace of studies and imagined future careers.

    The meanings of age and time for newly arrived immigrant pupils’ educational trajectories2016Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Newly arrived immigrant youth are entering Sweden in unprecedented numbers, putting increasing demands on the educational system. There is a growing body of research on newly arrived children’s experiences of school introduction. However, research on the experiences of students who arrive in Sweden during the latter school years (15-18 years of age), i.e. who are expected to transition into upper-secondary education, remain limited, particularly in relation to age and imagined  futures. Our paper is a contribution to this emergent field of research.

     

    Preliminary analyses of interviews with ‘late arrived students’ and staff at three upper secondary high schools highlight the significance of age and time in this process. The results indicate a discrepancy between the students’ perceptions and expectations of this transition and that of the school staff. The staff, following the institutional logic and the curriculum, expects prescribed progression of knowledge. Consequentially they opt for a prolonged introductory period. The students, on the other hand, describe a sense of deceleration of the future, by being held back in introductory classes. As a result, they will be “off time” compared to peers. Also, the deceleration of the future is interpreted in terms of a delay in the imagined biography.

    Swedish Social Partners Take on Gender Equality on the Labour Market2021In: Sociological knowledges for alternative futures: Barcelona (online), August 31st-September 3rd, European Sociological Association (ESA) , 2021, p. 665-665Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Sweden is one of the most gender-equal countries in the world (EIGE 2020). However, the labour market still suffers from sexual division of labour, pay gap, sexual harassment and work/family-conflicts (cf. SCB 2020). Swedish social partners, Trade Unions and Employer Organisations, have vast autonomy in regulating conditions at the labour market, not least through collective bargaining and agreements, but in other collaborative arenas as well (e.g. Kjellberg, 2019; Larsson & Ulfsdotter Eriksson, 2019). Still, the Swedish Women's Lobby criticized the labour market partners for not using these arenas as a platform for addressing gender inequality, and more purposeful confront inequalities in agreements and other collaborations. Also, Briskin and Müller (2011) appointed social dialogue as a beneficial arena to address gender equality. Danieli (2006) arguedt hat gender relations have been sidestepped, not only by IR researchers but within the Industrial relation-work and agenda as well. This paper investigates the articulation of gender equality on labour market matters and aims to explore how Swedish Trade Unions and Employer Organisations address gender equality issues. The empirical data consist of social partners public debate articles in media and public statements from social partners websites. The analysis is guided by Bacchi’s (1999; 2009; cf. Röbblom and Sandgren 2015) critical approach to policy and revolve around questions such as: How is gender equality addressed by social partners and do statements differ depending on actor and role?; What assumptions of gender relations underlie the approach to gender equality?; and How can social partners articulation explain the production and reproduction of gender relations on the labour market.
