Full textAccording to the salutogenic theory put forth by Antonovsky, an individual’s sense of coherence (SOC) is central for maintaining health. The present study used data from middle-aged women being part of a longitudinal research program to investigate how SOC relates to health status (in terms of self-rated health and medicine consumption) and a set of lifestyle factors (physical exercise, alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption and dietary habits). Women with a strong SOC were hypothesized to exhibit better health profiles, consume less medication, and lead a healthier lifestyle than women with a weak SOC. The findings partly confirmed the hypotheses in showing that women with a strong SOC had better self-rated overall health, better psychological well-being, fewer self-reported diseases and lower medicine consumption. Contrary to the hypothesis, women with stronger SOC had more self-reported psychological and physical symptoms. Of the lifestyle factors, only dietary habits were significantly associated with SOC. The study shows that SOC is related to differences in health and medicine consumption in a homogeneous group of middle-aged women, while the association between SOC and lifestyle was found to be less prominent.

Full textLiterature has widely documented the link between stress and serious physical and mental health consequences (e.g., depression, heart disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer). Women in middle-adulthood face a number of commingling stressors that may exacerbate their existing stress levels and place them as a higher risk of developing stress-related health issues. For example, in middle-adulthood women experience biological/hormonal changes (i.e., menopause, increased cortisol response to stressors), neural changes (i.e., cognitive declines), changes in skin function and appearance (i.e., wrinkles, sagging), as well as assuming multiple challenging roles (i.e., caregiver, employee, spouse). Due to the gravity of the effects of stress, there has been an increased need for a deeper understanding of stressors that women in middle–adulthood face and an increased need to target those specific stressors in an attempt to ameliorate their negative effects. In this context, the research reported here focused on developing a curriculum to conduct a one-day workshop for women in middle-adulthood in order to provide a deeper understanding of the various types of stress (e.g., hormonal/biological, age-related appearance changes, discrimination, gender role strain, multiple roles, cultural expectations, finances, etc.) experienced by women in middle-adulthood and providing culturally congruent stress reduction interventions. The development of the curriculum used to conduct a workshop is targeting women between the ages of 45 and 65 who are experiencing significant levels of stress and who wish to expand their knowledge of stressors and repertoire of stress reduction/management strategies. The curriculum was reviewed by two doctoral level mental health professionals who rated the content, strengths, and weaknesses of the curriculum. Their feedback was incorporated into a compilation of suggestions and future directions for the curriculum.

Full textObjective: To assess predictors of sexual function in mid-aged women. Methods: We analyzed data of 262 healthy sexually active women (40–59 years) who filled out the Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI), the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and a general questionnaire containing female/partner data. Correlations between these two measures were also analyzed. Results: Significant inverse correlations were found between all FSFI and MRS scores. This was most evident for the MRS urogenital score in relation to FSFI total, pain and lubrication scores. Multiple linear regression analysis determined best model predicting total FSFI index scores that explained a 66% of the variance. In this model, MRS urogenital score was an important predictor of female sexual function (total FSFI scores) with a significant inverse relation. Additionally total FSFI scores displayed a significant positive correlation with female educational level and HT use and an inverse relation with partner age and female parity. Conclusion: Several female/partner factors predicted female sexual function in this mid-aged series. MRS urogenital scores significantly correlated with total FSFI scores.

This study aimed to explore what impacts the middle-aged married women faced, what factors hindered and supported their coping process, and what coping strategies they adopted after involuntary unemployment. Furthermore, it was observed that how the interrelationships between they and the social-environment contexts in which they live influenced their coping process. This study was conducted through semi-structured in depth interviews with five participants to gather their experiences, which was examined and interpreted in terms of hermeneutic approach and thematic analysis. The findings of this study were as follows. Middle-aged married women encountered certain psychological impacts as a result of involuntary job loss. They deplored the cruelty of the employers and felt lost and anxious. In addition, their depression spread because their main focus in life, their ways of gaining self-worth and social identity were destroyed. Their insufficient savings within the family or their spouse’s unsteady income would make a more severe financial impact and elicit diverse and accumulative pressure. The impacts of reemployment on them varies based on their age and background and may be summarized as follows. (i) They could not solve the problem when facing repeated failures in job application due to age discrimination and the competitive job market. (ii) They were in a worrying situation of frequent job changes resulting from the differences in new workplaces and found difficulty in winning recognition for their work. (iii) After lengthy unemployment, they would disappoint their ambition unfulfilled. They also worried if they didn’t return to job market as soon as possible, they might have no job opportunities in the future because of age, but at the same time, they also feared it would be difficult to adapt to new job. (iiii) They were greatly shocked at the gap between the present and the past job market when returning to work after lengthy unemployment and felt unsatisfied with their motherhood experiences neglected. During the process of coping with job loss, their husbands were their main supporters and possibly their obstacles. Although emotional support and information iii provision from family and friends could help relieve the pressure of unemployment, their negative comments on unemployment could be hurtful and the willingness of asking their help could be decreased out of a face-saving factor. Religious belief could invoke cognitive adjustment and behavioral change, and bring positive effect to their unemployment coping process. When confronting impacts of job loss, they not only tended to balance the books by increasing income and reducing expenditures, but also attempted to rearrange their time structure and life focus to ease their negative emotions, and further adjusted their attitudes towards the unemployment experiences to enhance their coping efficiency. After recurrently coping, those who coped better would gradually construct their unemployment experiences and coping strategies in a positive and self-controlled way. The way led them to reframe their unemployment experiences instead of regaining their original income. At last, the researcher self-reflected how her perspectives may influence the whole research process. In addition, the research limitations, implications for future studies and practice were also discussed.

The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of “sisterhood” to middle-aged single women. It also attempts to explore how do middle-aged single women develop and maintain “sisterhood”? 5 middle-aged single women aged 40-55 were given in-depth interviews . Major findings are:(1) The characteristics of sisterhood include: being able to have a complete self in the relationship, free from social constrains as in marriage, and relatively free from family norm. Above all show that middle-aged single women’s sisterhood presents a transformation of the relationship to them contrast to traditional way. (2) The most important meaning of sisterhood for middle-aged single women is so-call “adversity creating the true love”, which means issues make the sisterhood stronger and more pure, especially when “sisters” get into a big trouble or a dangerous situation. (3) In addition, they also try to build a free space to each other and act in a very natural way in order to keep their relationship well. Moreover, they will monitor their behavior to see if they implement their wishes. (4) Finally, middle-aged single women expect their sisterhood can be lasted for a long time. When they get old, at least they can be accompanied by their “sisters”. Perhaps they will live together, or often visit to each other.
