Full textThe number of persons who are not employed has increased in Sweden since the early 1990s. Unemployment has been found to influence health, especially when unemployment rates are low. The extent to which unemployment affects health when unemployment is high is less clear, and this needs to be further studied. To improve health in the population, the health care system should offer equal access to health care according to need. It is important to study whether the employment status hinders the fulfilment of this goal.
This thesis is based on four papers: Paper I and II aimed at analysing self-rated health versus mortality risk in relation to employment status, during one period of low unemployment and one period of high unemployment. Paper III and IV assessed the use of medical health care services and unmet care needs among persons who were unemployed or otherwise not employed. The goal was to analyse what health problems lead people to either seek or abstain from seeking care, and what factors encumber or facilitate this process.
The overall results indicate that being unemployed or outside the labour force was associated with an excess risk of poor self-rated health, symptoms of depression, mental and physical exhaustion and mortality. The differences in self-rated health between the unemployed and employed were larger when unemployment levels were high, than when they were low. More groups of the unemployed were also afflicted with poor health when unemployment was high. Thus, poor health among the unemployed seems to be a public health problem during high levels of unemployment. Lack of employment was related to abstaining from seeking care, despite perceiving a need for care, and this was related to psychological symptoms. To deal with the needs of the unemployed and others who are outside the labour force it would be useful to develop and implement interventions within the health care system. These should focus on psychological and psychosocial problems. Future research should analyse how to facilitate health-promoting interventions among persons who are not anchored in the labour market.

Full textDespite the fact that older workers (50+) are much overrepresented among the long-term unemployed and often suffer from multiple mental health problems, the social work literature has rarely tackled this issue. In my dissertation, guided by Jahoda’s Latent Deprivation Theory and the productive aging framework, I examined the positive coping strategies of unemployed older workers. I set out to understand whether engaging in formal volunteering in an organization would buffer the negative impact of unemployment on older workers’ mental health. I also fill out the gap in the literature regarding the mechanism of the positive effect of volunteering on mental health by examining two latent benefits from working as mediators: purpose in life and perceived social status. I used fixed effects modeling for the moderation analysis. I analyzed six waves (12 years) of longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). I used structural equation modeling and analyzed two waves of HRS for the mediation analysis. I used full information maximum likelihood method to handle missing values. I found that there was a significant moderation between engaging in formal volunteering and unemployment status on older workers’ depressive symptoms. Unemployed older workers who engaged in volunteering fared better than those unemployed workers who did not volunteer. Consistent with previous studies using the HRS, I also found that those unemployed older workers who volunteered over 200 hours/year did not benefit from volunteering compared to those volunteered under 100 hours/year. Mediation analysis results showed that perceived social status and purpose in life mediate the protective effect of volunteering. Both the moderation and mediation results varied by race and ethnicity. Results from this dissertation have important implications for future intervention development. For example, interventions targeting the unemployed older workers may incorporate formal volunteering as one element for participants to gain social contact, purpose in life, and enhance perceived social status. Interventions can also create an environment that mirrors an office to enhance these latent benefits (mediators) in order to improve mental health

Full textAbstrakt Introduktion: Arbetslöshet leder till ohälsa och ohälsa leder till arbetslöshet. De som är inaktiva och arbetslösa kan också uppleva negativa effekter på deras fysiska och psykiska hälsa som fetma, följt av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, minskad muskelstyrka, kronisk smärta, ångest och depression. Alla dessa faktorer som kan kategoriseras under fysisk och psykisk hälsa, vilket är väsentliga faktorer för en optimal arbetsförmåga. Metod: Våra metoder för att bedöma sju deltagare (n = 7) varav tre män och fyra kvinnor, med medelåldern 35 ± 10 (25-54), där alla är inaktiva och långtidsarbetslösa. Deltagarna är en del av ett projekt som anordnas av Halmstad Fastighet AB-Byrå (HFAB-byrån), där de genomgår utbildning, coachning till sysselsättning och att lära sig att söka jobb. Vår del i detta projekt var att bidra med friskvård i åtta veckor för att stärka deltagarnas fysiska och mentala hälsa vilket i sin tur kan ha påverkan på deras arbetsförmåga. Samtliga undersöktes för greppstyrka med JAMAR ® hydraulisk dynamometer vilket motsvarar totalt muskelstyrka, BMI kompletteras med midjemått, blodtrycksmätning, självskattning av smärta med visuell analog skala (VAS), ångest och depression nivåer med Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) och Work Ability Index (WAI). Resultat: T-testet visar signifikans i upplevd smärta över åtta veckors fysisk träning samt sambandet mellan greppstyrka och upplevd smärta samt ångest och depression. Inga signifikanta korrelationer eller förändringar i de återstående variablerna. Konklusion: Fysisk träning bidrar till minskad kronisk smärta, samt att fysisk träning kan ha en preventiv effekt på depression så muskel styrkan ökar. Nyckelord: Arbetslöshet, mental hälsa, fysisk hälsa, fysisk träning
Med sikte på arbetslivet, HFAB-Byrån

Full textParticipants' experience of being shut out was not related to the duration of their illness but to their experience of seeking normality and the three conditions identified as influencing that experience. The findings, while supporting existing scientific literature, also present a new insight into young adults' experience of living with a mental illness in rural Western Australia. The findings of this study highlight the importance of health professionals' understanding young adults' experience of being shut out and to incorporate the increased knowledge and understanding into their clinical practice. Finally, the findings have implications on public education, healthcare services and healthcare policy in relation to young adults living with a mental illness.
