Arjen sankarittaret : työssäkäyvien äitien kellotettu elämänvaihe
2012
Tässä tutkimuksessa perehdyttiin työssäkäyvien päiväkoti- ja kouluikäisten lasten äitien elämänvaiheeseen. Tutkimus toteutettiin osana Likes -tutkimuskeskuksen hanketta Liikuntakynnyksen yli – vähäinen liikunta aikuisten elämäntapana, jossa pyritään parantamaan niiden väestöryhmien liikunta-aktiivisuutta, joilla tutkitusti on liikkumaton elämäntapa. Tarkoituksena oli vähän liikkuvien äitien arjen tutkimisen kautta saada vastauksia siihen, miten äidit suunnittelevat ja toteuttavat ajankäyttöään ja miksi liikunnalle ei ole tilaa. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin teemahaastatteluilla. Kahdeksan enemmän liikuntaa arkeensa haluavaa äitiä osallistui yksilöhaastatteluun, jossa heiltä kysyttiin ajankäytt…

Relational long-term breastfeeding
2021
This article uses a relationality-sensitive perspective to analyse long-term breastfeeding. The data was gathered through open invitations to write, and the article is based on the written reflections of 39 long-term breastfeeding Finnish mothers. In Finland, the breastfeeding of babies is strongly supported, but long-term breastfeeding (over 12 months) is a more conflicted issue, and the cultural norm of one year of breastfeeding is strong. Through qualitative content analysis, the article shows how mothers reflect on long-term breastfeeding’s effects on their relations with their breastfed children, partners (if any), relatives and healthcare professionals. The findings show that long-ter…
Infertility as a lonely struggle? : Coping stories of previously infertile women
2023
In this narrative study, we explored the meaning infertile women attribute to social support in coping with their infertility-related challenges. Written accounts and episodic interviews with 26 previously infertile Finnish women were used as data. Two different coping story types emerged: coping alone and coping with support. In the coping alone type women neither sought nor received support. Their coping appeared as a lonely struggle. In the coping with stories, women turned to their spouses, peers, or professionals, but still emphasized that they would have needed more support. Based on our findings, we underline the need for individually tailored support. peerReviewed

“I feel many contradictory emotions” : Finnish mothers' discursive struggles with motherhood
2022
Objective The aim of the study was to facilitate the understanding and interpretation of multiple aspects of working with mothers by examining Finnish mothers' mothering discourses and the interplay among these discourses. Background According to relational dialectics theory, discourses are systems of meaning that are coproduced in interaction. Although discursive research on motherhood has identified various discourses, research on the interplay among competing motherhood discourses is in its infancy. Method Qualitative questionnaire data from 479 Finnish mothers of infants were analyzed using contrapuntal analysis. Mothers' responses to three open-ended questions were analyzed inductively…
