description Tutkimuksemme on osa suomalaista VARJO-hanketta, jonka tarkoitus on kehittää palveluita eron jälkeisen vainon uhrien tueksi sekä ehkäisevään työhön ja kuntoutukseen liittyviä työmuotoja. Tutkimuksemme aineisto koostui naispuolisten vainon uhrien internetpohjaisen vertaisryhmän aikana käydyistä keskusteluista, joita tarkastelimme sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tutkimuksemme tarkoitus oli lisätä tietoisuutta vainon uhrien kokemuksista liittyen viranomaisten toimintaan ja tutkintaprosessiin sekä selviytymiskeinoista, jotka he kokivat hyödyllisiksi yrittäessään selviytyä eron jälkeisestä vainosta. Löysimme neljä pääluokkaa kuvaamaan uhrien kokemuksia viranomaistoiminnasta ja tutkintaprosessista. Nämä luokat olivat ongelmat vainon kohtaamisessa, tyytymättömyys tutkintaprosessiin, luottamus viranomaisiin ja odotukset viranomaisten toiminnasta. Vaikka uhreilla oli myös positiivisia kohtaamisia viranomaisten kanssa, nousivat negatiiviset kokemukset aineistosta esiin niitä selkeämmin. Löysimme neljä pääluokkaa myös uhrien käyttämistä selviytymiskeinoista. Nämä luokat olivat sisäinen työskentely, ulkoinen tuki, turvallisuustoimenpiteet ja orientoituminen tulevaisuuteen. Vainon uhrien oma aktiivinen rooli selviytymisessä korostui, mutta myös ulkopuolelta saatava tuki koettiin erityisen tärkeäksi. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että viranomaisilla on yhä moninaisia vaikeuksia vainon kohtaamisessa. Tulevaisuudessa viranomaisille, etenkin poliiseille ja oikeusviranomaisille sekä lastensuojelun työntekijöille, on tarjottava kattavampaa koulutusta vainoon liittyen, jotta he kykenevät kohtaamaan vainotilanteita paremmin. Tämä tutkimus osoittaa lisäksi vainon uhrien käyttävän monenlaisia selviytymiskeinoja yrittäessään selviytyä vainokokemuksistaan ja rakentaa hyvinvointiaan uudelleen traumaattisten kokemusten jälkeen. Nämä tulokset tarjoavat arvokasta tietoa vainon uhrien selviytymisprosessista, ja niiden avulla vainon uhreille tarjottavaa tukea voidaan paremmin suunnata vastaamaan heidän tarpeitaan. Our study makes a part of the Finnish VARJO-project, which aims to develop services to support the victims of partner stalking and methods for preventive work and rehabilitation. The data of our study consists of conversations from an internet-based peer support group for female victims of stalking. We used content analysis as our research method. The aim of our study was to increase knowledge about the experiences of victims of stalking concerning the actions of the authorities and the investigation process and the coping skills they considered as useful when trying to survive from partner stalking. We found four main categories to describe the victims’ experiences of the actions of the authorities and the investigation process. These categories were problems in dealing with the stalking, dissatisfaction with the investigation process, trust in the authorities and expectations concerning the actions of the authorities. Even though the victims had also experienced positive meetings with the authorities, the negative experiences stood out more clearly from the data. We also found four main categories to describe the coping skills that the victims had used. These categories were inner processing, external support, security measures and the orientation for the future. The active role of the victims of stalking was emphasized in their coping but the victims also felt that the external support was particularly important for their survival. The results of this research indicate that the authorities still have diverse problems when facing the stalking. In the future, there should be offered more comprehensive education about stalking for the authorities, especially for the police, representatives of the justice system and the child protection personnel in order for them to be able to face the stalking better. This study also indicates that the victims of stalking use many kinds of coping mechanisms when trying to survive from their stalking experiences and when reconstructing their well-being after the traumatic experiences. These results provide valuable information about the coping processes of the stalking victims so that the support offered for them can be better directed to correspond to their needs.
