Monitahoisten vaatimusten keskellä: Yksinhuoltajaäitien epätyypilliset työajat ja työn ja perhe-elämän yhteensovittaminen

2020

Useat Suomen mediassa viime vuosina julkaistut otsikot yhdessä kansainvälisten työn ja perhe-elämän yhteensovittamista tarkastelleiden tutkimusten kanssa ovat osoittaneet, että yksinhuoltajaäitien työ epätyypillisinä aikoina, esimerkiksi iltaisin, öisin ja viikonloppuisin, voi vahvistaa perheiden arjessaan kohtaamia haasteita. Äitien vuorotyö sekä työn ja perhe-elämän yhteensovittamisen haasteet voivat heijastua kielteisesti myös lapsen hyvinvointiin. Vaikka Suomessa naisten epätyypilliset työajat ovat yleisiä, tutkimustietoa yksinhuoltajaäitien kokemuksista ei ole juuri ollut saatavilla. Väitöskirjatutkimukseni kysyikin, kuinka yksinhuoltajaäidit Suomessa, Alankomaissa ja Isossa-Britannias…

Environmental barriers, person-environment fit and mortality among community-dwelling very old people

2013

Background. Environmental barriers are associated with disability-related outcomes in older people but little is known of the effect of environmental barriers on mortality.

2017

Emmi Telanne (2017). ”Arjessa pitää aikalailla olla kaikki palikat itsellä tassuissa” - Suomalaisten johtajien työn ja perheen yhteensovittaminen puolisoiden kokemana: Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, terveyskasvatuksen pro gradu -tutkielma, 52 s., 6 liitettä. Työn ja perheen yhteensovittaminen on tärkeää yksilön, yhteiskunnan, yritysten ja erityisesti perheen näkökulmasta. Tutkimusten mukaan johtajan työn stressi- ja vaatimustekijöillä on havaittu olevan kielteisiä vaikutuksia perhe-elämän hyvinvointiin. Etenkin ajankäyttö arjessa on osoittautunut ongelmaksi työn ja perhe-elämän yhdistämisessä. Työnteko vei suuren osan johtajan käytettävissä olevasta ajasta ja energia…

Parental Burnout Across the Globe During the COVID-19 Pandemic

2022

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all societies worldwide. The heightened levels of stress that accompanied the crisis were also expected to affect parenting in many families. Since it is known that high levels of stress in the parenting domain can lead to a condition that has severe consequences for health and well-being, we examined whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries (9,923 parents; 75% mothers; mean age 40) increased during COVID-19 compared to few years before the pandemic. In most (but not all) countries, analyses showed a significant increase in the prevalence of parental burnout during the pandemic. The results further revealed that next to governm…

The work-family interface and its correlates : integrating variable and person oriented approaches

2017

Nonstandard Work Hours and Single Versus Coupled Mothers’ Work-to-Family Conflict

2019

Objective: To compare single and coupled mothers’ experiences of time-based work-to-family conflict (WFC) and work-to-family positive affective spillover (PAS) in the context of maternal nonstandard work hours.Background: Despite having become one of the central topics of work–family research, studies examining the relationship of maternal work schedules and family roles have mainly focused on North American samples or dual-earner families. Although qualitative studies have highlighted the problems faced by European single mothers in relation to the combination of nonstandard work hours and family life, there are no quantitative or cross-national comparative studies on the association.Metho…
