Open Access Unrestricted online access star

"How much room to manoeuvre do administrators of municipal social services feel they have in meeting organizational objectives? How much latitude do staff in these services have to utilize their own expertise in performing tasks? What challenges do welfare services face due to cultural diversity? Can new ways of working contribute to increased learning for students in the practice field? These are among the questions addressed in this book, in which challenges associated with maintaining society's objectives in municipal health, care and child welfare services are focused on. The goal is to provide the reader with insight into degree of latitude pratictioners have when seeking to utilize their own expertise in the context of their job. The book is a collection of ten scholarly articles that, via new empirical studies and theoretical contributions, shed light on manoeuvering room within the practical fulfilment of professional welfare services in the two main municipal healthcare and child welfare organizations. Both services must comply with public regulatory measures in an increasingly more complex field; both are therefore examined in the same anthology. Latitude in Professional Welfare Administration is directed primarily toward students in nursing, child welfare and social education, but may be of interest to students in other health and caregiving fields as well. Employees within municipal health and family services including child welfare services, and politicians involved in development within this sector, will also find this anthology useful. The anthology's editors are Bente Lilljan Lind Kassah, professor of sociology at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; Hilde Nordahl-Pedersen, assistant professor at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; and Wivi-Ann Tingvoll, docent emerita at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Narvik."

"Hvordan opplever ledere handlingsrommet for īvareta kommunale tjenesters samfunnsoppdrag? Hvilket handlingsrom har ansatte nr̄ de skal benytte sin kompetanse for l̄s̜e oppgaver? Hvordan utfordres tjenesteutv̜elsen av kulturelt mangfold? Kan nye arbeidsmt̄er bidra til s̄tyrke studenters lr̆ing i praksisfeltet? Dette er spr̜sml̄ som tas opp i denne boken, der utfordringer knyttet til ivaretakelse av samfunnsoppdraget i de kommunale helse-, omsorg- og barneverntjenestene str̄ sentralt. Hensikten er ḡi leseren innblikk i tjenesteutv̜ernes handlingsrom nr̄ de sk̜er b̄enytte sin kompetanse i tjenesteutv̜elsen. Boken samler ti vitenskapelige artikler som gjennom nye empiriske studier og teoretiske bidrag belyser handlingsrommet for tjenesteutv̜else av profesjonalisert velferd i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste og kommunalt barnevern. Begge tjenestene skal imt̜ekomme offentlige myndigheters fr̜inger i et stadig mer komplekst praksisfelt, og de belyses derfor i samme antologi. Handlingsrom for profesjonalisert velferd er primr̆t rettet mot studenter i sykepleie, barnevern og vernepleie, men kan ogs v̄r̆e aktuell for andre studenter innenfor helse- og omsorgsarbeid. Ansatte i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste samt kommunalt barnevern og politikere som har innflytelse over utviklingen innenfor helse- og omsorgssektoren, vil ogs k̄unne ha nytte av l̄ese antologien. Redaktr̜er for antologien er Bente Lilljan Lind Kassah, professor i sosiologi ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet i Harstad, Hilde Nordahl-Pedersen, amanuensis ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet i Harstad, og Wivi-Ann Tingvoll, dosent emerita ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet i Narvik."
