Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka mäns ensamhet med perspektiv från yrkesverksamma på kriscentrum för män. Studien avser också undersöka hur och om dessa centrum arbetar med problematiken och om det går att identifiera kopplingar mellan den rådande mansnormen och mäns ensamhet. Sju kvalitativa semistrukturerade forskningsintervjuer genomfördes med yrkesverksamma på fem olika kriscentrum för män belägna i fem olika orter i Sverige. I studien används Connells maskulinitets teori och Hirdmans genusteori som teoretiskt verktyg. Studien identifierar i sitt resultat en koppling mellan mansnormen och ensamhet. Den enskilda orsak som enligt studien leder till ensamhet är separation från en kärlekspartner. Resultatet visar även att de yrkesverksamma på kriscentrum för män uppfattar att många av männen de möter i sin profession har en ensamhetsproblematik.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to examine the issue of men’s loneliness through the perspectives of employees at crisis centers for men. The purpose of this study also relates to an inquiry into if and how these centers work with this issue and if it is possible to make a connection between the loneliness and the current norms concerning masculinity. Seven qualitative semi-structured research interviews were conducted with employees at five different crisis centers for men, located in five disparate towns in Sweden. Connell’s theory regarding masculinity and Hirdman’s theory on gender are both utilized as the theoretical framework for the study. The result section of the study identifies a connection between the norms associated with masculinity and loneliness. The primary cause which, according to this study, leads to loneliness is the separation from a romantic partner. Furthermore, the results show that the employees at crisis centers for men perceive that a majority of the men they come into contact with through their work struggle with issues surrounding loneliness.
