The results concerning the clients in the combined organisation laysomewhere in between the results from the two others, but with a slight inclination to theintegrated.Besides more general questions about the results, we asked the clients about a number ofspecific client effects that we, based on earlier research (Blom & Morén, 2007; Morén &Blom, 2003), know are central results in social work practice. These results are presented inthe tables 26 to 28 below.24

We have chosen not to present the answers byorganisation because these specific results do not express variations between different PSSorganisations.Instead table 26 presents a picture of common results for clients in the PSS inthe three studied organisations.Concerning results in terms of clients’ social relations, ability to influence their own lifesituationand self-esteem (results that are more general compared to the results in table 26),we have made a comparison between the PSS in the three municipalities, as we regard theanswers to express organisational differences.Table: 27.
