Mental health profiles of Finnish adolescents before and after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic
2023
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had implications for adolescents’ interpersonal relationships, communication patterns, education, recreational activities and well-being. An understanding of the impact of the pandemic on their mental health is crucial in measures to promote the post-pandemic recovery. Using a person-centered approach, the current study aimed to identify mental health profiles in two cross-sectional samples of Finnish adolescents before and after the peak of the pandemic, and to examine how socio-demographic and psychosocial factors, academic expectations, health literacy, and self-rated health are associated with the emerging profiles. Methods and findings Surv…
Private health insurance in the universal public healthcare system: The role of healthcare provision in Finland
2023
Voluntary private health insurance (VPHI) has gained popularity in universal public healthcare systems. We studied how the local provision of healthcare services correlated with VPHI take-up in Finland. Nationwide register data from a Finnish insurance company was aggregated to the local level and augmented with high-quality data on public and private primary care providers’ geographical closeness and fees. We found that the sociodemographic characteristics explained the VPHI take-up more than public or private healthcare provision. The VPHI take-up was negatively associated with distance to the nearest private clinic, while the associations with distance to public health stations were stat…
Ikääntyneiden kotona asuvien henkilöiden tyydyttymättömät osallisuuden tarpeet
2015
Ikääntyneiden ihmisten kuuluu saada osallistua yhteiskuntaan. Osallisuutta pidetään aktiivisen ikääntymisen yhtenä piirteenä. Jos ikääntynyt on kykenemätön osallistumaan haluamaansa toimintaan, muodostuu tästä tyydyttymätön osallisuuden tarve. Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää tyydyttymättömään osallisuuden ja ulkoilun tarpeeseen yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä yli 65 – vuotiailla kotona asuvilla henkilöillä. Tässä tutkimuksessa analysoitiin vuonna 2009-2011 kerättyä vapaaehtoistyö, ulkoliikunta ja vanhusten hyvinvointi (VAU)- tutkimushankkeen alkumittausaineistoa. Tutkimukseen osallistui 120 67-92 – vuotiasta miestä (n= 12) ja naista (n=108). Tyydyttymätöntä ulkoilun sekä osallisuuden tar…
Physical activity from adolescence to young adulthood: patterns of change, and their associations with activity domains and sedentary time
2021
Background Longitudinal studies demonstrate an average decline in physical activity (PA) from adolescence to young adulthood. However, while some subgroups of adolescents decrease activity, others increase or maintain high or low activity. Activity domains may differ between subgroups (exhibiting different PA patterns), and they offer valuable information for targeted health promotion. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify PA patterns from adolescence to young adulthood; also to explore the associations of (i) changes in PA domains and in sedentary time, (ii) sociodemographic factors, and (iii) self-rated health with diverging PA patterns. Methods The observational cohort study data …
