Childlife 2024

Beskrivelse

Research indicates that interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for addressing complex tasks related to children’s well-being and participation opportunities regarding human sustainability. This is because issues concerning children in dis-wellbeing are so complex that they necessitate interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration (Kristensen et al., 2018; Ejrnæs, 2018). This presentation is based on findings from the research project ´På Tværs - en undersøgelse af det tværprofessionelle- og sektorielle samarbejde i landets 98 kommuner om børn i mistrivsel´ (Hansen, Molbæk, Høybye-Mortensen, Jensen, Kristensen, Mehlsen, & Sommer, 2021). The purpose has been to gain knowledge about the forms of organization of interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge about the professionals' understandings and experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration in relation to children in (dis-) wellbeing (Hansen et al., 2021). The presentation will draw on analyses from two interview formats, namely, semi-structured qualitative interviews (Kvale and Brinkmann, 2009) and quantitative Q-interviews (McKeown & Thomas, 2013; Watts & Stenner, 2012). Overall, our analysis indicates that it is not the organizational form itself that creates quality in collaboration. Instead, it revolves around whether and how the professionals' understandings of what they are collaborating on are actively incorporated into the collaboration, and what interventions and changes in practice consequently become possible. The presentation focus on how the organizational structure of collaboration influences the possibilities for interventions when professionals collaborate across disciplines concerning children's well-being and will present a model on understandings of collaboration when professionals collaborate on children’s wellbeing that require the involvement of various professions.
