Sammanfattning
Reforms had been performed in
primary health care in recent
years. Swedish district nurses
have a long tradition as professional
caregivers to our communities.
Few studies have investigated
what happens with the work
situation and the professional
role of the district nurse during
later years. The aim of this paper
is to describe how district nurses
perceive their work situation and
how they view their profession in
the modern society. Focus groups
interviews are used as empirical
input and were carried out in
Stockholm in 2003-04. Data is
processed through a qualitative
analysis, and the results are presented
in six themes. The study
indicates that district nurses may
have difficulties to uphold their
professional demands, which
could lead to reduced autonomy
and control over their work situation,
less opportunities to use and
develop their personal competence,
and that district nurses as
a group might have an indistinct
professional role in primary
health care and in the society.
