Sammanfattning
The aim of this study was to gain knowledge and experience about the interaction process by health personal and patients/«users» in a community psychiatric practice in Norway which has a focus on empowerment. The statement of the problem was: «What is the interaction context in a psychiatric ward and a specially protected firm in which user participation is encouraged? How do employees and users experience the interaction context on the unit?» The unit had two sub-units; one was a «Sheltered workplace» and the other was a «Psychiatric Day-and Activity Centre.»
A qualitative, comparative, descriptive study design was chosen, with field observations and 8 qualitative in depth interviews with health personal and persons with mental health problems were made.
The findings were organized and called «Moving towords equal worth for users.» The categorical were called equality, denying role and participation. Equality is the ground and the main process for being equal in the relation between personal and user. Role denial made equal worth problematical. The participation of the users constitutes a form of gradual user influence and contributed to the process towards equal worth for the users in the future.
