Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Förändringsarbete inom rättspsykiatrisk vård innebär särskilda utmaningar, därmedarbetares motivation ofta är avgörande men otillräckligt belyst. Trots stora satsningar på utvecklinginom vård, saknas det kunskap om vilka motivationskällor som bibehåller motivation hos medarbetarei förändringsarbeten inom komplexa vårdmiljöer.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att med Self-Determination Theory (SDT) undersöka bakomliggandeförutsättningar för att medarbetares motivation i förändringsarbeten ska bibehållas inom rättspsykiatriskvård.

Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med personerverksamma inom rättspsykiatrin som deltagit i förändringsarbete. Intervjumaterialet analyseradestematiskt med stöd av SDT för att identifiera återkommande mönster kopplade till motivation.

Resultat. Flera motivationskällor identifierades, bland annat personligt driv, upplevda resultat,möjlighet till påverkan samt återkoppling och tydliga målbilder. Dessa aspekter bidrog till att stärka ochvidmakthålla motivation över tid.

Slutsatser. Studien visar att flera inre motivationskällor beror på känslan av kompetens, autonomioch samhörighet, vilket kompletteras av yttre motivationskällor såsom ledningens instruktioner ochförväntningar. Förståelse om dessa parametrar är vitala för ledare att förstå under förändringsarbetensskridning. 

Abstract [en]

Background. Change initiatives within forensic psychiatric care present specific challenges, withstaff motivation often being a crucial yet underexplored factor. Despite significant investment in thedevelopment of healthcare services, there is limited knowledge regarding the factors that help sustainstaff motivation during organisational change in complex care environments.

Objectives. The purpose of the study is to use Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to examine theunderlying conditions for maintaining employees’ motivation in change efforts within forensicpsychiatric care.

Methods. This qualitative study is based on semi-structured interviews with professionals workingin forensic psychiatry who have participated in change initiatives. The interview material wasthematically analysed with the support of SDT in order to identify recurring patterns related tomotivation.

Results. Several motivational factors were identified, including individual drive, perceivedprogress, opportunity for influence, as well as feedback and clearly defined goals. These factorscontributed to strengthening and maintaining motivation over time.

Conclusions. The study demonstrates that intrinsic motivational factors are closely associated withthe experience of competence, autonomy, and relatedness, and are complemented by extrinsic factorssuch as leadership instructions and expectations. An understanding of these factors is essential forleaders managing and supporting organisational change processes.
