Economic stress and marital adjustment among couples: analyses at the dyadic level
2004
This survey study of 608 Finnish couples investigated the question of how economic stress is reflected in marital adjustment on the basis of the model presented by Conger and colleagues. We used the couple as a unit of analysis, performing a dyadic-level analysis within the framework of LISREL models. The model showed that the path by which economic circumstances were linked to marital adjustment was as follows: poor economic circumstances were linked to economic strain, which was related to increased psychological distress, and psychological distress in turn was negatively reflected in marital adjustment. However, psychological distress only partially mediated the link between economic str…
Parents' work burnout and adolescents' school burnout: Are they shared?
2011
There is considerable evidence that psychological distress not only has consequences for those who experience it but also can create problems for other members of the distressed person's family. To examine whether parents' work burnout and their children's school burnout are shared in the family, 515 adolescents (median age = 15) completed scales for school burnout and 595 of their parents (342 mothers, 253 fathers) completed scales for work burnout and their economic situation. The intraclass correlations showed that parents' work burnout and adolescents' school burnout was shared in the family. In addition, the better the economic situation the parents' experienced, the lower was the leve…
Obesity and Interpersonal Problems: An Analysis with the Interpersonal Circumplex
2012
This study examines the interpersonal problems profiles of obese individuals by cluster analysing the interpersonal problems circumplex scores of participants. The Inventory of Interpersonal Problems— Short Circumplex (IIP‐32) was completed by 368 treatment‐seeking obese individuals. These data were cluster analysed, and groups of obese subjects defined by varying interpersonal problems were compared with regard to psychological distress, self‐esteem, body dissatisfaction, quality of life and binge behaviours. Cluster analyses of the IIP‐32 resulted in four clusters, which occupied two quadrants of the interpersonal circumplex. Several differences in body mass index, psychological distress,…

Diferencias entre empleabilidad, inseguridad laboral y salud en trabajadores y desempleados
2018
ResumenEl desempleo y la inseguridad laboral tienen efectos negativos sobre la salud, aunque la empleabilidad podría mediar dichos efectos.

Para esto, se utilizó metodología cuasiexperimental, donde se administraron una serie de cuestionarios que evaluaban empleabilidad e inseguridad laboral a 97 trabajadores (35 desempleados y 62 en activo), junto a otras variables psicosociales y de salud. Los resultados muestran que la empleabilidad es…
Symptoms of depersonalization/derealization are independent risk factors for the development or persistence of psychological distress in the general …
2016
Abstract Background Symptoms of depersonalization (DP) and derealization (DR) have a high prevalence in patient and community samples. Previous studies suggested that DP/DR symptoms might represent a marker of disease severity and poor prognosis. However, population-based studies investigating the impact of DP/DR symptoms on the course of depression and anxiety are sparse. Therefore, we aimed to analyze whether symptoms of DP/DR are longitudinally associated with the persistence or incidence of elevated symptoms of depression/anxiety. Methods We analyzed observational data from a sample of 13.182 participants of the Gutenberg Health Study. The outcomes were elevated symptoms of depression/a…
Eine Kurzversion des Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-25-F) zum Einsatz bei Gefangenen im Langzeitstrafvollzug in Europa
2014
Strafgefangene sind im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung deutlich höher psychisch belastet und stärker suizidgefährdet. Die forensisch-psychologische Diagnostik kann jedoch zumeist nicht auf validierte Testverfahren zurückgreifen. Das kann negative Konsequenzen für Interventionen und somit für das Rückfallrisiko von Straftätern haben. Die vorliegende Studie extrahiert aus dem Brief Symptom Inventory 53 (BSI-53), das bei 1001 Langzeitstrafgefangenen (Mindestfreiheitsentzug 5 Jahre) in 11 europäischen Ländern eingesetzt wurde, eine Kurzversion mit 25 Items. Die vier Skalen Einsamkeit/Depressivität, Körperliche Beschwerden, Selbstwert/Minderwertigkeit und Herausforderndes Verhalten/Aggressiv…
The impact of remote work and mediated communication frequency on isolation and psychological distress
2022
A massive shift towards remote work practices has presented many organizations and employees with acute challenges associated with multi-locational work. This shift underscores the need to reconsider isolation as one of the focal challenges of organizations in an era of increasingly dispersed and mediated work practices. This study relies on a three-wave survey among Finnish workers to investigate how remote work practices and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) have impacted perceptions of isolation during the global health pandemic, and whether these relationships have an effect on psychological distress. The findings indicate that facilitating the use of ICTs may he…
Distrés psicológico en adolescentes víctimas de cyberbullying || Psychological distress among adolescents victims of cyberbullying
2017
Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación se han incorporado y extendido rápidamente en nuestra sociedad. Actualmente, los niños y adolescentes acceden en edades cada vez más tempranas a los dispositivos electrónicos. A pesar de las grandes ventajas que tienen las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, las tecnologías también pueden ser utilizadas de manera inapropiada para intimidar y molestar a los iguales, causando graves daños psicológicos en las víctimas. Desde esta perspectiva, el principal objetivo del presente estudio ha sido comprobar el distrés psicológico en una muestra de adolescentes víctimas de cyberbullying. Para ello se midieron las variables: sintomatolo…
Failure of the Anticoagulant Therapy and Psychological Distress: Still Far From a Bridge.
2018
Background: The procoagulant stress response reflects part of a beneficial adaptation of the organism to environmental threats, but a protracted procoagulant state generates a thrombotic risk. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the general population. Patients with AF have a higher risk of thromboembolic events and stroke, therefore they are treated with long-term oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate if there is any association between psychological distress and clinically unexplained variations of the International Normalized Ratio (INR), that is the index used to monitor both thromboembolic and bleeding risk in the case of patients …
