Family violence and mental health in a sample of Finnish health care professionals : the mediating role of perceived sleep quality

2019

Background Family violence (FV) is a prevalent health issue around the world and health care services have an important role in both recognizing and treating the consequences of violence. However, FV experiences among health care professionals themselves have not been investigated much. We also lack specific knowledge on the associations between FV and mental health. Aim The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and effects of FV in a sample of Finnish health care professionals. In addition to analysing direct connections between different types of FV and mental health, the mediating effect of sleep quality was also taken into account. Methods The study followed a cross‐sec…

The gap between behavioral risk status and willingness to change behavior among healthcare professionals

Obesity, low physical activity, smoking, and risky alcohol drinking were used as behavioral health risk factors. Results: In all, 70% of the participants had at least one behavioral risk factor, and a significant number of at-risk persons were satisfied with their health habits and had no ongoing change process.

Yet, there is limited knowledge about the extended late career phase of senior nurses.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical data were derived from 22 interviews collected among senior (50+) nursing professionals working in a Finnish university hospital.

The effects of using participatory working time scheduling software on working hour characteristics and wellbeing : a quasi-experimental study of irr…

2020

Background: Studies in the health care sector indicate that good work time control is associated with better perceived wellbeing but also with non-ergonomic work schedules, such as compressed work schedules. Participatory working time scheduling is a collaborative approach to scheduling shift work. Currently, there is a lack of information on whether working hour characteristics and employees' wellbeing in irregular shift work change after implementing participatory working time scheduling. Objective: To investigate the effects of using digital participatory working time scheduling software on working hour characteristics and well-being among Finnish hospital employees. Participants and met…

Koettuun informaatioteknologian hyödyllisyyteen vaikuttavat tekijät hoitotyöntekijöillä

2015

Terveydenhuoltoon suunnattu informaatioteknologia on lisääntynyt viimeisten vuosien aikana merkittävästi ja sen odotetaan lisääntyvän edelleen. Teknologian käyttöä kuvaavan TAM-mallin mukaan koetulla hyödyllisyydellä on suora yhteys teknologian käyttöön. Koetun hyödyllisyyden on todettu myös olevan terveydenhuollossa muita toimialoja merkityksellisempi tekijä teknologian käytön selittäjänä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää tekijöitä, jotka selittävät hoitohenkilöstön kokemaan teknologian hyödyllisyyttä. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin kolmen sairaanhoitopiirin alueelta hoitohenkilöstölle suunnatulla verkkokyselyllä. Verkkokyselyn vastaamisen aloitti kaikkiaan 359 henkilöä, joista ai…

Positive Turn in Elder-Care Workers' Views Toward Telecare Robots.

2022

AbstractRobots have been slowly but steadily introduced to welfare sectors. Our previous observations based on a large-scale survey study on Finnish elder-care workers in 2016 showed that while robots were perceived to be useful in certain telecare tasks, using robots may also prove to be incompatible with the care workers’ personal values. The current study presents the second wave of the survey data from 2020, with the same respondents (N = 190), and shows how these views have changed for the positive, including higher expectations of telecare robotization and decreased concerns over care robots’ compatibility with personal values. In a longitudinal analysis (Phase 1), the positive change…

“Practicing care in qualitative organizational research: moral responsibility and legitimacy in a study of immigration management”

2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the reciprocal relations between the caregiving imparted by immigration centre managers and the role of the researcher in responding to the care that is given by managerial caregivers. To enable this, we draw on a feminist theory of care ethics that considers individuals as relationally interdependent.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis draws on a semi-structured interview study involving 20 Finnish immigration reception centre managers.FindingsInsight is generated by reflecting on moments of care that arise between research participants and the researcher in a study of immigration centre management. We emphasise the importance…
