2021
Abstract Background Family caregivers often report high levels of distress, including depressive symptoms, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. There is a need for a greater understanding of the factors influencing, explaining, and maintaining psychological distress in family caregivers. Aim The aim of this study was to examine whether avoidance strategies such as thought suppression (WBSI), psychological inflexibility (AAQ-II), and, and caregiver experiential avoidance (EACQ) predict psychological distress (BDI-II, GAD-7) and quality of life (WHOQOL) in family caregivers aged 60 and over. We hypothesized that these avoidance strategies would explain elevated levels of psychological sympto…
Job Insecurity and Depressive Symptoms in Mothers and Adolescents: A Dyadic Study
2021
AbstractIn this study, we examined whether maternal perceived job insecurity (JI) affected depressive symptoms in their adolescent children. Specifically, we tested a mediator-moderator model in which we hypothesized that maternal JI was related to adolescent depressive symptoms indirectly via maternal depressive symptoms. Most importantly, we also explored whether this indirect path was moderated by two buffering resources, i.e., maternal off-job recovery and adolescent self-esteem. There is little research on the effects of parental JI on adolescent children from the viewpoint of buffering moderators. Due to growing insecurity in the labor markets we need more information about resources …

Seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvien urheilijoiden…
Äitien kokeman työstressin yhteys lasten subjektiiviseen hyvinvointiin
2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelimme äitien kokeman työstressin yhteyttä lasten subjektiiviseen hyvinvointiin. Analysoimme myös äitien koulutustason yhteyttä työstressin kokemiseen sekä lasten subjektiiviseen hyvinvointiin. Lisäksi analysoimme, muuntaako äitien koulutustaso äitien kokeman työstressin yhteyksiä lasten subjektiiviseen hyvinvointiin. Viimeisenä mielenkiinnonkohteenamme oli lasten sukupuolten väliset erot subjektiivisessa hyvinvoinnissa.
