Olemuksellisesti kivulias kokemus : eksistentiaalinen tunne ja psyykkinen kärsimys masennuksessa
2019
In his depression memoir the author William Styron likens suffering from depression to physical pain. In the article, I argue that Styron’s comparison must be taken literally: experience of depression essentially resembles suffering from physical pain. To this aim I will phenomenologically compare two autobiographical illness narratives, those of Jean-Luc Nancy and Piet Cornelius Kuiper. The first describes physical pain and discomfort, the latter severe depression. With the help of this comparison I will criticize an influential present account of the phenomenology of depression, Matthew Ratcliffe’s theory of so-called existential feelings. By criticizing Ratcliffe’s account and showing ho…

2020
ObjectivesTo examine employment and earnings trajectories before and after the first sickness absence period due to major depressive disorder (MDD).MethodsAll individuals (n=158 813) in Finland who had a first sickness absence period (lasting longer than 9 days) due to MDD between 2005 and 2015 were matched with one randomly selected individual of the same age and gender with no history of MDD. Employment status and earnings were measured using register-based data annually from 2005 to 2015. Generalised estimating equations were used to examine the trajectories of employment and earnings before and after MDD diagnosis in men and women separately.ResultsSickness absence due to MDD was associ…
"Mielimatka on ollut mieluisa matka": Yhdistelmäkuntoutus vs. perinteinen Silmu-kuntoutus mielenterveysongelmiin ja asiakkaiden kokemukset yhdistelmä…
2019
Hankkeen tavoitteena oli tutkia verkkopohjaisen, hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiamenetelmiin perustuvan yhdistelmämallin eli verkko-ohjelmasta ja kolmesta ryhmämuotoisesta kuntoutusjaksosta koostuvan kuntoutuksen vaikuttavuutta asiakkaiden mielenterveysoireiluun verrattuna Kelan Silmu-mielenterveyskuntoutukseen. Asiakkaat rekrytoitiin lehti-ilmoituksilla kesällä 2017. Tutkimus toteutettiin vuosien 2017–2019 aikana satunnaistetussa kontrolloidussa asetelmassa vertaamalla yhdistelmäkuntoutusryhmää (n = 32) ja perinteistä Silmu-kuntoutusryhmää (n = 27). Yhdistelmäkuntoutusryhmä sai 12 kuukauden kuntoutuksen, johon sisältyi 3 x 2 päivän lähijaksot Peurunka oy:n kuntoutuspalveluissa sekä verkk…
"Ei tää hullumpi ole" : yli 60-vuotiaiden omaishoitajien etäkuntoutuksen vaikuttavuus ja kuntoutujien kokemukset
2019
Hankkeen tavoitteena oli tutkia verkkopohjaisen, hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiamenetelmiin perustuvan etäkuntoutusohjelman vaikutuksia yli 60-vuotiaiden omaishoitajien psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin. Hanke toteutettiin näennäiskokeellisessa asetelmassa vertaamalla keskenään ryhmiä, joista yksi osallistui 12 viikon etäkuntoutusohjelmaan (n = 60), yksi omaishoitajien laitoskuntoutukseen (n = 52) ja yksi omaishoitoyhdistysten tarjoamiin toimintoihin (n = 39). Omaishoitajien psyykkistä hyvinvointia arvioitiin tutkimuksen alussa, etäkuntoutusohjelman jälkeen 4 kuukauden välimittauksissa sekä 10 kuukauden kuluttua tutkimuksen alusta. Tässä artikkelissa raportoidaan tuloksia ja kokemuksia hankkeen …
ACTing for depressive symptoms : a longitudinal study of a brief 4-session acceptance- and value-based intervention for symptoms of depression
2018
The main objective of this study was to investigate a brief 4-session intervention based on a theoretical framework of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and to explore its short- and long-term effectiveness among individuals reporting depressive symptoms. Additionally, the research aimed at further exploring the elements of psychological flexibility and mindfulness associated with improvements in depressive symptoms. The dissertation comprises three studies. Study I investigated the effectiveness of the brief intervention compared to a waiting-list control group. In total, 57 participants were randomized into either the ACT intervention (n = 28) or the waiting-list control (WLC; n = …
Profiles of mental well- and ill-being among elite athletes: Associations with sport-related demands and resources
2022
The aim of the present study was to identify profiles of elite athlete mental well- and ill-being and study how the profiles (i.e., subgroups of athletes) differed in sport-related demands and resources. A total of 259 Finnish elite athletes (n = 170 active and n = 89 retired) completed quantitative self-report inventories. Through cluster analysis, four profiles of mental well- and ill-being were identified. Profile 1 was overrepresented by retired, older, and male athletes, and characterized by good mental well-being. Profile 2 consisted mainly of active athletes who reported mild risk for alcohol abuse. Profile 3 consisted mainly of women who displayed possible presence of an eating diso…
