Item response theory and differential test functioning analysis of the HBSC-Symptom-Checklist across 46 countries

2022

Abstract Background The Symptom Checklist (SCL) developed by the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is a non-clinical measure of psychosomatic complaints (e.g., headache and feeling low) that has been used in numerous studies. Several studies have investigated the psychometric characteristics of this scale; however, some psychometric properties remain unclear, among them especially a) dimensionality, b) adequacy of the Graded Response Model (GRM), and c) measurement invariance across countries. Methods Data from 229,906 adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 from 46 countries that participated in the 2018 HBSC survey were analyzed. Adolescents were selected using representative s…

Intersectoral partnerships and competencies for mental health promotion: a Delphi-based qualitative study in Finland.

2021

Summary The importance of intersectoral collaboration and partnership working in mental health promotion, together with the requisite competencies for effective collaboration, is widely acknowledged. This Delphi-based qualitative study examined how intersectoral collaboration and partnership work are constructed and adopted in mental health promotion practice. Descriptive data from a Delphi panel of mental health promotion practitioners working in the health sector (n = 32) were used as a data source. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Applying the theory of collaborative advantage, eight themes of collaboration advantage and the related competencies were identified: management…

The effects of COVID-19-era unemployment and business closures upon the physical and mental health of older Europeans : Mediation through financial c…

2023

COVID-19-era lockdown policies resulted in many older persons entering unemployment, facing financial difficulties and social restrictions, and experiencing declining health. Employing the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe's first COVID-19 module (summer 2020) (N = 11,231) and the Karlson-Holm-Breen method for decomposition of effects within non-linear probability models (logistic regression modelling), we examined associations of pandemic-era lost work with older Europeans' (50–80 years of age) self-assessed health, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms, and mediation through households' difficulties making ends meet, loneliness, and curtailed face-to-face contact with …

Acceptance of Online Health Services for Self-Help in the Context of Mental Health : Understanding Young Adults Experiences

2018

This paper explores the understanding of the acceptance of online health services from a selfhelp perspective in the context of mental health. By examining the experiences of young adults, this paper develops a framework to leverage the current understanding of the factors that would support the acceptance and use of these types of services. To this end, a multidisciplinary perspective incorporating knowledge from the service marketing, health, and information systems literature is used. The results suggest that the production of online services that are meant for self-help purposes necessitates a focus on the acceptance of technology and, more importantly, instrumental value creation, as t…

Mental health service users' and professionals' relationship with games and gaming

2017

Background Games and elements of gamification can be utilized in mental healthcare to provide customized interventions for the service users. However, very little evidence exists as to what kind of experiences service users and professionals have towards games and gaming, and what their perceptions of the phenomenon are. This sort of information is needed to help professionals put game-based interventions actively into practice in mental health services. Research objectives The objective is to describe the experiences and perceptions of digital games and gaming from the perspectives of mental health service users and mental health professionals. Methods In this qualitative study, data consi…

Visibility in mediated borderscapes : The hunger strike of asylum seekers as an embodiment of border violence

2018

In 2012, two Afghan asylum seekers camped outside the Parliament building in Helsinki during a hunger strike that lasted for 72 days. Although the protest was very visible in the city space, the mainstream media and most politicians ignored it. This paper analyzes the protest and its mediation through the concepts of borderscape and visibility. Using methods of visual and discourse analysis, we examine the ways in which the hunger strike protest – and its mediation – negotiate the (in)visibility of borders. We show how the city can be a site for both policing and for politicizing asylum issues. In particular, we focus on the ways in which protesting asylum seekers embody borders and border …

Lasten poikkeavuuden määrittely 1950-luvun Suomessa

2014

Tässä Suomen historian pro-gradu työssä tarkastellaan lapsuuden aikaisten ongelmien määritte-lyä 1950-luvun Suomessa. Alkuperäislähteinä on käytetty psykologian oppikirjoja sekä Keski-Suomen kasvatusneuvolan toimintakertomuksia vuosilta 1953–1962. Tutkimuksessa on lähes-tytty kasvatusneuvolaa ja psykologiaa tieteenä normaalin tuottajina. Kvalitatiivisessa sisällön-analyysia käyttävässä tutkimuksessa näkökulmana on ollut Michel Foucault’n teoria biovallasta. Tutkimuksen rakenne etenee tutkimuskysymysten esittelystä sekä tutkimuskirjallisuuden ja tut-kimuksen suuntaviivojen esittelystä aiheen taustoitukseen. Lasten huollon ja hoivan historian taustoittamisen jälkeen vuorossa on aineiston vars…
