ABSTRACT

The starting point of this article is an interest in understanding what happens when the concept of evidence-based practice (EBP) travel between countries. Understanding knowledge as something constructed between actors who shape and trade ideas and experiences, the aim is to study how EBP has been received, interpreted and practised in Swedish social work in comparison to some of the other Nordic welfare states. This is done through a scoping study literature review of research on evidence-based practice (EBP) in Swedish social work within the Swedish welfare system. The review shows that two research units (CUS and IMS) at the public authority National Board of Health and Welfare have had significant influence on the travelling of EBP to Sweden. Further, the review shows that a guideline-model version of EBP has been given priority in the diffusion process. The results also show that the interest in EBP among managers has increased over the past few years, and that their attitude toward the concept is generally positive. At the same time Swedish social workers rarely make use of research in their work, seldom use evidence-based methods, and seems to be unsure of the meaning of the concept.

摘要

本文的出发点是有兴趣了解当循证实践 (EBP) 的概念在国家之间传播时会发生什么。将知识理解为在塑造和交易思想和经验的行为者之间构建的东西，目的是研究与其他一些北欧福利国家相比，瑞典社会工作如何接受、解释和实践 EBP。这是通过对瑞典福利系统内瑞典社会工作中的循证实践 (EBP) 研究进行范围研究文献回顾来完成的。审查表明，公共机构国家卫生与福利委员会的两个研究单位（CUS 和 IMS）对 EBP 前往瑞典的旅行产生了重大影响。进一步，审查表明，EBP 的指南模型版本在传播过程中得到了优先考虑。结果还表明，在过去几年中，管理者对 EBP 的兴趣有所增加，并且他们对该概念的态度总体上是积极的。同时瑞典社会工作者在工作中很少使用研究，很少使用基于证据的方法，并且似乎不确定这个概念的含义。
