Abstract [en]

Objectives

The study examined the possibility that a mediating role of positive and negative emotional expressivity may contribute to understanding the associations between social loneliness and its previously identified predictors (i.e. health, age, sex, and social living situation).

Method

Self-reported assessments were collected from community-dwelling Swedish residents (aged 65 and above) in job retirement. Structural equation modeling with manifest variables was applied to cross-sectional data (N = 601) to analyze two competing models; one main-effect regression model, examining the predictive effect of emotional expressivity (along with health and sociodemographics) on social loneliness, and one mediation model, examining the mediating effect of emotional expressivity (using the bootstrapping technique provided in Mplus).

Results

The results indicated that the mediation model fit the data considerably better than the main-effect regression model (Δχ2 [Δdf = 8] = 72.69, p < 0.00001), and demonstrated a good fit on its own, with CFI = 0.986 and RMSEA = 0.030. This suggests that emotional expressivity contributes to the understanding of the connection between social loneliness and its previously identified predictors.

Conclusion

Recognizing the significance of emotional expressivity has the potential to enhance our understanding of loneliness in older adults, both in theory and in practice.

Abstract [en]

To explore young adolescents’ negotiation of their national identity in an educational context, we individually interviewed nine students (ages 10–14) with different backgrounds attending an ethnically diverse school in Sweden. The transcribed interviews were thematically and qualitatively analyzed. Results show that students negotiated their national identity as being quantifiable, often as sized portions of a whole or percentages, and dichotomous (Swedish vs. non-Swedish). Their national identity negotiation further related to feelings of belonging as well as to birthplace, appearance, and language. Results suggest that national identity is more complex for youth with immigrant backgrounds and that the status conferred by being part of the majority group is recognized in ethnically diverse and segregated contexts. These findings on young adolescents’ national identity negotiations can inform future research or educational practices as well as curricula to support national identity development or feelings of belonging in diverse school settings.

Abstract [en]

Aims

To investigate how job demands and resources interact with each other to predict intention to leave among assistant nurses and Registered Nurses.

Design

Longitudinal study.

Methods

Questionnaire data were collected yearly during three years (October 2012-December 2014) from Registered Nurses (RN) and assistant nurses (N = 840) employed in Swedish hospitals. Associations and interaction effects of demands and resources were assessed with correlation analyses and regression models.

Results

Job demands predicted assistant nurses’ intentions to leave, while resources predicted RNs’ intention to leave. For RNs, several resources were functional in moderating the associations between demands and intention to leave: social support, vertical trust, and humanity moderated work pace and workflow moderated emotional demands. For assistant nurses, organizational clarity and interprofessional collaboration moderated emotional demands. None of the resources had a moderating effect on the associations between quantitative demands or illegitimate tasks and intention to leave.

Abstract [sv]

I syfte att predicera sjukfrånvaron på 38 vårdenheter i Västra Götalandsregionen användes enhetschefernas självrapporterade uppgifter om arbetsmiljö och arbetsrelaterad hälsa. Data analyserades med hjälp av binär logistisk regression. Utfallsvariabeln baserades på klusteranalyser av sjukfrånvaroincidens för perioden 2013-2016, där varje sjukvårdsenhet representerades av antingen en gynnsam eller en ofördelaktig trend. Analyser utfördes separat för undersköterskor och sjuksköterskor och för kombinationen av båda yrkesgrupperna inom tre olika sjukfrånvarointervall (0-7 dagar/år; 8-27 dagar/år; ≥ 28 dagar/år). Resultaten gav få belägg för att chefers arbetssituation predicerar sjukfrånvaro på hela vårdenheter. Dock fanns vissa indikationer på att chefers burnout möjligen har en sådan effekt.

Abstract [en]

Research has indicated that social and emotional learning (SEL) programs can offer benefits to students and school environments. However, students’ experiences of participation in such programs have not received as much attention. This focus group study describes elementary students’ (N = 23) experiences of and beliefs about participation in a school-based SEL program commonly used in Sweden, Life Skills Training. The results suggest questionable acceptability of the program by the students, indicating a clear belief that the school’s implementation of the program was due to their problematic behavior. Although students experienced the program content as predictable, consistent, and structured, there was great variation in their attitudes toward the program: Both strong negative and positive attitudes were revealed. The students also expressed discomfort with the personal nature of the discussions promoted by the program and uncertainty about its place in the school setting. These findings can inform SEL program implementation.

Abstract [en]

Objective To investigate whether a dance intervention for adolescent girls reduces stress-related symptoms. Methods This was a randomized controlled trial of an after-school intervention. Participants were 112 girls aged 13 to 18 years with stress-related somatic symptoms and emotional distress. The intervention comprised twice-weekly dance sessions for 8 months with a focus on enjoyment and socialization. A questionnaire was administered at baseline and after 8, 12 and 20 months. Participants rated the frequency with which they had experienced somatic symptoms and emotional distress during the previous 3 months. Results After the intervention, there was a significantly greater reduction in somatic symptoms and emotional distress in the dance intervention group than in the control group. The difference in the mean score change on a 5-point scale was 0.26 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.04 to 0.47) for somatic symptoms and 0.30 (95% CI: 0.04 to 0.58) for emotional distress. Conclusion Dance interventions may reduce somatic symptoms and emotional distress in adolescent girls, and may constitute a nonpharmacological complement to school health services. However, continued participation is needed for long-term sustainable results. Additional randomized studies are required to further evaluate the effect of this type of intervention in different settings. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov. Study name: ‘Influencing Adolescent Girls With Creative Dance Twice Weekly’.

Abstract [en]

(1) Background: Both employees and organizations benefit from a work environment characterized by work engagement and job satisfaction. This study examines the influence of work-group social capital on individuals’ work engagement, job satisfaction, and job crafting. In addition, the mediating effect of job crafting between social capital on the one side and job satisfaction and work engagement on the other side was analyzed. (2) Methods: This study used data from 250 health-care employees in Sweden who had completed a questionnaire at two time points (six to eight months apart). Analyses of separate cross-lagged panel designs were conducted using structural regression modeling with manifest variables. (3) Results: Social capital was predictive of both job satisfaction and work engagement over time. The results also indicated that higher degrees of social capital was predictive of more cognitive and relational, but not task-related job crafting over time. There was no clear evidence for a mediating effect of job crafting for social capital to work engagement or job satisfaction. (4) Conclusion: It would be beneficial for the health-care sector to consider setting up the organizations to promote social capital within work groups. Individual workers would gain in well-being and the organization is likely to gain in efficiency and lower turnover rates.

Abstract [en]

The authors, with Swedish elementary school students (N = 201), 9–12 years old, examined the potential significance to self-perceived academic competence of students' cross-ethnic friendship ties and prosocial behavior to better understand education's minority achievement gap. A crossed-lagged panel model was tested to investigate potential relationships between these variables over time, while controlling for temporal associations. The results revealed that higher levels of prosocial behavior were related to more positive academic performance six months later. However, higher levels of cross-ethnic friendship did not. The findings further establish the predictive influence of prosocial behavior on academic competence, indicating that this over-time relation is applicable also in the North European context, with its increasingly diverse ethnicity.

Abstract [en]

Objective: Mothers who have negative breastfeeding experiences due to initial breastfeeding difficulties are indemanding existential situations. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to identify and addresssuch breastfeeding problems. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument designed to assess existentialaspects of mothers’ initial breastfeeding difficulties and evaluate its psychometric properties.

Methods: This study reports on the development of a new instrument and was carried out in three steps: (1) aquestionnaire about various existential aspects of initial breastfeeding difficulties, based on 66 items derivedfrom two phenomenological studies, was developed; (2) information was collected using the questionnaire; (3)and the resulting data were statistically analysed. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to assess comparativevalidity; exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factoring and varimax rotation were used toassess construct validity; and Cronbach’s alfa was used to assess internal consistency and reliability. Threehundred and nine Swedish-speaking mothers aged 20–46 participated in the study.

Results: Correlation and factor analysis of the 66 items revealed that 16 of the items were of psychometric valueand valid. Factor analysis generated three factors that accounted for 62.9% of the total variance: Mother-Child Interdependency, Exposure and Vulnerability and Security and Trust. The instrument shows adequate sensitivity toidentify existential aspects of mothers’ initial breastfeeding difficulties.

Conclusion: The instrument satisfactorily assesses existential aspects of initial breastfeeding difficulties and canbe used as a sensitive tool by healthcare professionals to screen for and identify mothers who have negativebreastfeeding experiences.
