Nonstandard Work Hours and Single Versus Coupled Mothers’ Work-to-Family Conflict
2019
Objective: To compare single and coupled mothers’ experiences of time-based work-to-family conflict (WFC) and work-to-family positive affective spillover (PAS) in the context of maternal nonstandard work hours.Background: Despite having become one of the central topics of work–family research, studies examining the relationship of maternal work schedules and family roles have mainly focused on North American samples or dual-earner families. Although qualitative studies have highlighted the problems faced by European single mothers in relation to the combination of nonstandard work hours and family life, there are no quantitative or cross-national comparative studies on the association.Metho…
Darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara konstruēšana strādājošo māšu stāstos
2018
Maģistra darba „Darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara konstruēšana strādājošo māšu stāstos” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā strādājošā māte, kura audzina pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu savā stāstā konstruē līdzsvaru starp darba un ģimenes dzīvi. Darba pētnieciskie jautājumi ir: kā strādājošo māšu stāstos tiek skaidrotas attiecības starp darbu un ģimeni, kā strādājošās mātes stāstos konstruē savas darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara iespējas un izaicinājumus un kādi darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvaru veidojošie nosacījumi parādās strādājošo māšu stāstos. Pētījuma teorētisko bāzi veido darba un ģimenes dzīves un to savstarpējo attiecību jēdziena teorētiskais skatījums, kā arī dažādas teorētiskās pieejas un teori…
Asthma-Related Knowledge and Practices among Mothers of Asthmatic Children: A Latent Class Analysis
2022
Mothers’ knowledge about childhood asthma influences management practices and disease control, but validating knowledge/practice questionnaires is difficult due to the lack of a gold standard. We hypothesized that Latent Class Analysis (LCA) could help identify underlying mother profiles with similar knowledge/practices. A total of 438 mothers of asthmatic children answered a knowledge/practice questionnaire. Using answers to the knowledge/practice questionnaire as manifest variables, LCA identified two classes: Class 1, “poor knowledge” (33%); Class 2, “good knowledge” (67%). Classification accuracy was 0.96. Mothers in Class 2 were more likely to be aware of …
Poczucie własnej skuteczności i spostrzegane wsparcie społeczne u matek samotnie wychowujących dzieci, a lęk jako stan
2022
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących związku pomiędzy poczuciem własnej skuteczności oraz spostrzeganym wsparciem społecznym, a lękiem jako stanem. Osobami badanymi były kobiety w wieku od 19 do 55 lat, samotnie wychowujące dzieci. Wyniki wykazały ujemną korelację między wysokim poczuciem własnej skuteczności oraz spostrzeganym wsparciem społecznym, a poziomem lęku, zarówno jako stanu, jak również jako cechy. Otrzymane w analizie regresji wielokrotnej wyniki wskazują, iż najsilniejszym predyktorem lęku zarówno jako stanu, jak i jako cechy jest poczucie własnej skuteczności. W przeprowadzonych badaniach nie wystąpiły istotne statystycznie współzależności pomiędzy wiekiem matek s…
MATERNAL EXPOSURE TO STRESSFUL/TRAUMATIC EVENTS AND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN OFFSPRING: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS OF A CASE CONTROL PILOT STUDY.
2023
The correlation between maternal exposure to stressful and traumatic events during pregnancy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring has been studied in the literature. Fewer studies, however, have considered the mother's exposure to traumatic events during childhood. This work focuses on maternal exposure to these events in childhood and/or adulthood, relating it to autism spectrum disorder in offspring. A questionnaire was used to assess whether and to what type of event the mothers have been exposed, and to assess eventual peri-traumatic dissociation related to the traumatic event. The mothers involved in this study were recruited at the Child Neuropsychiatry Outpatient Clinic of…
Surrogacy relationships: a critical interpretative review
2020
Abstract Based on a critical interpretative review of existing qualitative research investigating accounts of ‘lived experience’ of surrogates and intended parents from a relational perspective, this article proposes a typology of surrogacy arrangements. The review is based on the analysis of 39 articles, which belong to a range of different disciplines (mostly sociology, social psychology, anthropology, ethnology, and gender studies). The number of interviews in each study range from as few as seven to over one hundred. Countries covered include Australia, Canada, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Sweden, UK, Ukraine, and the USA. Most studies focus only on surrog…
