work related travel gender and Family obligations
Work Employment & Society, 2006Co-Authors: Per GustafsonAbstract:This article uses national travel surveys from Sweden to examine the relationship between Family Situation, sex and work-related overnight travel. The results indicate that Family obligations have an impact on travel activity, but that women and men differ in this respect. Cohabiting men travel more than men living alone, whereas there is no such effect among women. Having young children reduces the travel activity of women, whereas there is no consistent such effect among men. However, regardless of Family Situation, men travel considerably more than women and this largely reflects women’s and men’s different positions in working life. It is therefore argued that the relationship between work-related travel and Family obligations involves both individual adaptation and structural factors, such as a gender-segregated labour market and ‘gender-typing’ of travel as a predominantly male activity, all of which reflect traditional gender and Family role expectations.

Family Relations and Work Experiences Relate to Salutogenic Health – a Survey among Swedish Employees in 2012
European Journal of Public Health, 2013Co-Authors: Göran Ejlertsson, Madelaine Törnquist Agosti, Marie Nilsson, Ingemar AnderssonAbstract:Background Many employees in Europe feel that their work Situation is stressful and demanding. Health promotion processes are needed to improve the psychosocial work environment. It is unusual to include the Family Situation in these processes. Most studies of employees have had an ill-health perspective, while the salutogenic perspective, which focuses on resources rather than risks, so far is rare. The aim of the study was to analyse to what extent positive work experiences and Family Situation relate to salutogenic health. Methods …

Evaluating mental health services in a Greek community
European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2006Co-Authors: Dimitris C. Anagnostopoulos, Maria Vlassopoulos, Helen Lazaratou, Chara Tzavara, George Zelios, Dimitris PloumpidisAbstract:This study aims to evaluate rendered mental health services for children and adolescents through the investigation of those factors which are related to non-compliance with therapy and which affect treatment outcome. Data were collected from the files of all new cases who applied to a Community Mental Health Centre in Athens during 2000–2002 ( N = 363). For each case, the following factors were examined: age, sex, Family Situation, parents’ educational level, referral source, child’s psychiatric and psychosocial diagnoses, type of proposed therapy, phase at which termination of therapy occurred and outcome. Around 45.7% of the sample did not complete therapy. The probability of treatment compliance increased when the patient was male, with a diagnosis of a specific developmental disorder, treated in a well-structured therapy programme, was from a healthy Family environment and his mother was better educated. On the contrary, an adverse Family Situation (one-parent Family, inadequate parental supervision) and the female sex had a negative association with treatment compliance. Most of the cases discontinued their treatment upon completion of the diagnostic procedure. Referral source did not influence treatment compliance. Evaluation of our service has shown that more attention should be paid to less-educated families and those in adverse Situations, particularly when the patient is female.
