Fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteys unen kestoon ja laatuun suomalaisilla lapsilla ja nuorilla
2017
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteyttä unen kestoon ja unen laadun mittareihin 5.-, 7.- ja 9.-luokkalaisilla. Unen laadun mittareita olivat koettu aamuväsymys, nukkumisvaikeudet ja unilääkkeiden käyttö. Nukkumisvaikeudet koostuivat heräilyistä öisin ja vaikeuksista päästä uneen. Tarkastelimme nukkumistottumusten eroja vähän, kohtalaisesti ja paljon liikkuvien oppilaiden ryhmissä. Tuloksia tarkasteltiin luokka-asteittain ja sukupuolten välillä. Käytimme WHO-koululaistutkimuksen aineistoa, joka oli kerätty vuonna 2014 kyselylomakkeella kouluista. Otos koostui 5925 suomalaisesta lapsesta ja nuoresta. Analyysimenetelmänä käytettiin yksisuuntaista varianssianalyys…

The impact of parental behaviors on children's negative emotions
2015
The study examined the role of different parental behaviors on children’s negative emotions. Parents of 152 Finnish first grade children (79 girls and 73 boys) filled in diary-formed questionnaires which measure parental behaviors including affection, behavioral control and psychological control. Children’s negative emotions are also measured by diary-formed questionnaires which are filled in by their parents. The results showed that parental affection was negatively related to children’s negative emotions while parental psychological control was positively related to children’s negative emotions. The study did not find relation between parental behavioral control and children’s negative em…
Movement and physical activity in early childhood education and care policies of five nordic countries
2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the values of movement and physical activity (MoPA) using government policy documents (e.g., laws and curricula) on early childhood education and care (ECEC) from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This descriptive, comparative study was designed based on curriculum theory and used word count and content analyses to identify similarities and differences in the occurrence of MoPA in the ECEC policies of Nordic countries. Seven terms were identified as MoPA-related in Nordic policy documents. These terms occurred in various content contexts: development, environment, expression, health and well-being, learning and play, albeit sparsely. MoP…

The effectiveness of the HIPPA intervention in the sociocultural environment of ECEC physical activity
2023
Studies have shown that, on average, children’s physical activity (PA) levels in early childhood education and care (ECEC) environments are low, thus opening up the possibility of interventions. We examined the effect of the teacher-implemented one-year long ‘home-and-childcare-based intervention to promote physical activity’ (HIPPA) study on children’s PA in ECEC settings in Finland. Participating four-year-old children (N = 128) were cluster-randomised into two groups, intervention (seven childcare centres) and control (seven childcare centres), in autumn 2011. The children were observed directly during their ECEC times. Multilevel linear analysis was used to test the PA differences betwe…

Effectiveness of a kindergarten-based intervention to increase vegetable intake and reduce food neophobia amongst 1-year-old children: a cluster rand…
2021
Background: Children’s first years of life are crucial to their future health. Studies show that a varied diet with a high intake of vegetables is positive in several domains of health. The present low vegetable intake amongst children is, therefore, a concern. Food neophobia is a common barrier to vegetable intake in children. As most Norwegian children attend kindergarten from an early age, kindergartens could contribute to the prevention of food neophobia and the promotion of vegetable intake. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a cluster randomised trial amongst 1-year-old children in kindergarten to reduce food neophobia and promote healthy eating. Methods: Kin…
