Psychophysical burden and lack of support : Reasons for care workers’ intentions to leave their work in the Nordic countries

2021

Long-term care of older adults is currently suffering from a shortage of trained personnel and high turnover rates. Care work is poorly paid, demanding, increasingly time-bound and both mentally and physically burdensome. In this study, we examined the individual, organisational and economic factors that predict professional care workers’ intentions to leave their current employment, using the NORDCARE survey data (2015, N = 3801) collected in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The respondents were mainly practical and assistant nurses. The analysis showed that the predictors of intentions to leave were similar in the four countries. The most consistent organisational predictors of leavin…

Being able to provide sufficiently good care for older people: care workers and their working conditions in Finland

2023

This study examines whether care workers in Finland feel able to provide adequate care for older people and analyses the working conditions that limit them from providing it. One third of the respondents felt that they were not able to provide sufficient care for older people. This was seen as being due to excessive workloads, a general lack of staff and accompanying physical and mental burdens. Improving care workers’ working conditions would enhance their work–life balance and allow them to help older people avoid situations of care poverty, that is, to receive the level of care they deserve.

Organisational and individual resources as antecedents of older nursing professionals’ organisational commitment : Investigating the mediating effect…

2021

Aim and objectives To investigate how organisational and individual resources are linked to older (50+) nursing professionals’ organisational commitment, and to examine the possible mediating role of the active use of selection, optimisation and compensation (SOC) strategies. Background Many healthcare organisations need to find ways to retain their older nursing professionals due to nursing shortage. Design To test a set of hypotheses, cross-sectional survey data (n = 396) were used. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and partial least-squares structural equation modelling. STROBE Statement for cross-sectional studies has been followed in this study. Results The results exhibite…

Use of conservative therapy before and after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome

2021

Abstract Background Conservative therapies are typically offered to individuals who experience mild or intermittent symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or postoperatively to subjects who have undergone carpal tunnel release. Although long-term studies report mostly positive results for carpal tunnel release, knowledge on the need for conservative treatments following surgery is scarce. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to examine the use of conservative therapies before and after carpal tunnel releasing surgery. Methods Of 528 patients who underwent carpal tunnel release surgery in the study hospital during the study period, 259 provided sufficiently completed questionnair…

Exercise as therapy for neurodevelopmental and cognitive dysfunction in people with a Fontan circulation: A narrative review

2023

People with a Fontan circulation are at risk of neurodevelopmental delay and disability, and cognitive dysfunction, that has significant implications for academic and occupational attainment, psychosocial functioning, and overall quality of life. Interventions for improving these outcomes are lacking. This review article discusses current intervention practices and explores the evidence supporting exercise as a potential intervention for improving cognitive functioning in people living with a Fontan circulation. Proposed pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning these associations are discussed in the context of Fontan physiology and avenues for future research are recommended.

Maineen ja tunnettuuden merkitys yhteishyvään pyrkivän organisaation legitimiteetin muodostumisessa

2010

Kolmannen sektorin merkitys yhteiskunnassa on vahvistunut. Yhteishyvään pyrkivien kolmannen sektorin organisaatioiden voi kuitenkin olla vaikeaa saavuttaa legitiimi asema, jossa niiden toimintaa pidetään riittävän tarpeellisena. Imagoilla, maineella ja tunnettuudella voidaan nähdä olevan suuri vaikutus legitimiteetin muodostumiseen ja säilyttämiseen toimintakentällä. Yhteishyvään pyrkivien organisaatioiden aineettomien ominaisuuksien merkitystä legitimiteetille ei kuitenkaan ole tutkittu paljon. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten yhteishyvään pyrkivän organisaation tunnettuus, mielikuvat ja maine tärkeiden sidosryhmien keskuudessa vaikuttavat legitimiteetin muodostumiseen, ja mite…

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

Results of the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for intimate partner violence : topics and strategies in successful therapy processes

2018

Despite controversy over the indications of couple therapy for IPV, current research has indicated some benefits. This article examines some crucial aspects when dealing with couple therapy for IPV, such as how dominance and power abuse are present, and which important issues should be taken into account during the therapeutic process and be brought up in therapeutic conversations. It also proposes strategies for therapists conducting couple therapy for IPV. Ten studies conducted within the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for IPV were reviewed. Findings highlighted the importance of the therapists’ awareness of the presence of violence, dominance and power during the sessions, …

Korkean vireystason hetket hyvän ja huonon hoitotuloksen pariterapiaprosesseissa

2017

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia Relationaalinen mieli monitoimijaisten terapiadialogien muutoshetkissä -projektin pariterapioiden tuloksellisuutta sekä pariterapian tuloksellisuuteen vaikuttavia tekijöitä hyvän ja huonon hoitotuloksen pariterapiatapauksissa. Tuloksellisuustutkimuksen perusteella valitsimme yhden hyvän ja yhden huonon hoitotuloksen pariterapiatapaukset. Tutkimuksen aineistona olivat projektiin osallistuneiden pariterapia-asiakkaiden täyttämät Outcome Ratings Scale (ORS)- lomakkeet, Jyväskylän yliopiston tutkimus- ja opetusklinikalla videoidut neljä pariterapiaistuntoa ja terapiaistuntojen ajalta asiakkaiden ihon sähkönjohtavuuden mittaukset. Projektiin osallistuneiden p…
