Associations between adolescents’ energy drink consumption frequency and several negative health indicators
2023
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to identify how various negative health indicators are associated with energy drink consumption frequency among 13- and 15-year-old Finnish adolescents. Methods Data (N = 2429) from the nationally representative international Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (2018) were analyzed via descriptive analysis and logistic regression analyses, with control for salient covariates. Relative risks (RR) were derived from the adjusted odds ratios. Results Even infrequent energy drink consumption was associated with various negative health indicators. Moreover, as compared to non-users, frequent energy drink consumers were more likely to re…
Pienten lasten vanhempien koherenssin tunne ja liikuntakäyttäytyminen : Hyvän kasvun avaimet -tutkimuksen tuloksia
2017
Vanhemmat kokevat pikkulapsivaiheen usein haastavana elämänvaiheena. Yksilölliset tekijät vaikuttavat siihen, miten erilaisiin elämäntilanteisiin suhtaudutaan. Aaron Antonovskyn (1987) salutogeeniseen teoriaan keskeisesti kuuluva koherenssin tunne kertoo ihmisen kyvystä käsitellä stressiä ja hyödyntää käytettävissä olevia voimavaroja. Tämän pro gradu –tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millainen koherenssin tunne suomalaisilla pienten lasten vanhemmilla on, minkälaista vanhempien liikuntakäyttäytyminen on ja onko koherenssin tunteella yhteyttä vanhempien liikuntakäyttäytymiseen. Tutkimusaineistona käytettiin Turun yliopiston toteuttaman Hyvän kasvun avaimet -seurantatutkimuksen aineist…
Trait Self-Control, Social Cognition Constructs, and Intentions: Correlational Evidence for Mediation and Moderation Effects in Diverse Health Behavi…
2019
Background: We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict health behaviour indirectly through theory constructs and intentions. Trait self‐control was also predicted to moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods: Proposed effects were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours from studies adopting prospective designs. Participants (N = 3,249) completed measures of constructs from social cognition theories and self‐control at an initial time point and self‐reported their behaviour at follow‐up. Results: Results revealed indirect effects of self‐co…
Effects of a School-Based Intervention on Motivation for Out-of-School Physical Activity Participation
2021
Purpose: We tested the effects of an autonomy-supportive intervention in physical education (PE) on high-school students’ autonomous motivation in PE, and their autonomous motivation, intentions, and physical activity (PA) behavior in a leisure time guided by the trans-contextual model. Method: PE classes in two schools were assigned to receive either an autonomy-supportive intervention and/or a control intervention via random allocation by the school. The PE teacher of the school assigned to the autonomy-supportive intervention was trained to provide autonomy support while the PE teacher of the school assigned to the control intervention received no training. Students (N = 256) in all clas…
Preventing occupational injury among police officers: does motivation matter?
2017
Background: Injury prevention is an important issue for police officers, but the effectiveness of prevention initiatives is dependent on officers’ motivation toward, and adherence to, recommended health and safety guidelines. Aims: To understand effects of police officers’ motivation to prevent occupational injury on beliefs about safety and adherence to injury prevention behaviours. Methods: Full-time police officers completed a survey comprising validated psychometric scales to assess autonomous, controlled and amotivated forms of motivation (Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire), behavioural adherence (Self-reported Treatment Adherence Scale) and beliefs (Safety Attitude Questionnaire…
Coronavirus-related health literacy and perceived restrictiveness of protective measures among community-dwelling older persons in Finland
2021
Abstract Background Older people with limited health literacy may encounter difficulties in finding relevant information on COVID-19, understanding its relevance, and complying with recommended protective measures. Complying with such recommendations has required older as well as younger persons to change their daily lives in ways that have reduced their opportunities for engaging in many activities meaningful to them. Aims To find out from what sources older people have obtained information on protective measures, the level of their coronavirus-related health literacy (CHL), and whether CHL is associated with their perceptions of the restrictiveness of coronavirus-related protective measur…
Motives for competitive sports participation in masters track and field athletes : Impact of sociodemographic factors and competitive background
2022
Objectives Masters athletes due to their lifelong engagement in sport represent a unique group to study motivation for regular physical activity, but there is less scientific data on the sport motives in masters athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of age, sex, education, nationality, competitive background and training amount with sport motives of masters track and field athletes. Methods 811 (254 women) athletes aged 35–89 years participated in European Veterans Athletics Championships in the year of 2000. Sport motives were assessed with a questionnaire and categorized into1) well-being, 2) competitive and performance 3) health and fitness motives. R…

Keski-Suomi hyvinvoinnin tutkimuksen kansainvälisesti merkittävänä toimintaympäristönä
2023
Tässä artikkelissa kuvataan hyvinvoinnin tutkimuksen ajankohtaista yhteiskunnallista tarvetta sekä Jyväskylän ja Keski-Suomen vahvuuksia ja mahdollisuuksia monialaisen hyvinvoinnin tutkimuksen toimintaympäristönä. Hyvinvointi on 2000-luvulla noussut talouskasvun rinnalle yhä selvemmin sanoitetuksi erilliseksi yhteiskunnalliseksi tavoitteeksi, ja perinteisten talousindikaattorien rinnalle on etsitty kansakuntien ja alueiden vertailuun soveltuvia hyvinvointi-indikaattoreita. Uusia hyvinvointia edistäviä ja ihmisten terveyskäyttäytymiseen vaikuttavia toimintamalleja kehitetään monialaisessa tutkijayhteisössä, ja niille on kansainvälisesti kasvavaa kysyntää. Myönteinen elämäntapoihin vaikuttami…
