Mental Well Being

Abstract Background Limited research exists on the differences in the wellbeing of adults with young children and those without. The aim of this study was to compare the well-being of adults with and without young children. Methods The study is based on the FinHealth 2017 Study of a nationally representative sample on adults aged 18-50-years (n = 4764, 58% participated). Information on wellbeing was collected through self-administered questionnaires. Adults living in a household with young children (under 7-years old, n = 762) were compared to adults living in a household without young children (n = 1864). Inverse probability weights were used in the analysis to correct for the effects of non-response and different sampling probabilities. Results Nearly 90 % of adults with young children rated their quality of life as good or very good and were more satisfied with their family life (women 84% vs. 76%, men 87 % vs. 78%) and life achievements (women 82% vs. 69%, men 78% vs. 58%) compared to other adults. No difference was observed in satisfaction with the financial situation. Differences in the experience of psychological distress (Mental Health Inventory, MHI-5 score ≤52) were statistically insignificant. 6% of women and 7% of men with young children experienced psychological distress while the equivalent percentage of other adults was 9% in both sexes. Differences in symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory, 6 item score >4) were also statistically insignificant, although the prevalence was somewhat lower for those with children (women 12% vs. 15%, men 6% vs. 12%). Adults with young children reported sufficient sleep less often compared to other adults (women 64% vs. 76%, men 67% vs. 77%). Conclusions Most parents of young children have a good quality of life and are satisfied with their life. Getting sufficient sleep is one of the main challenges of adults with young children. Key messages Adults with young children are more satisfied with their life compared to other adults. There is still a need for holistic lifestyle guidance, especially to promote mental well-being and sufficient sleep of adults with young children.

Mental Well Being

COVID-19 has created a new reality for countries worldwide as leaders are tasked with the responsibility of enacting safety measures to stop the rate of infection. Social distancing is promoted as one of the main ways of curbing the spread of the virus. Such measures limit social interaction and the spaces people are free to occupy. The following poem, entitled “Sitting in the dark: COVID-19 and mental well-being” speaks to the mental health impacts of such closures on the youth population, highlighting that no one is immune from the virus. This poem also explores the interconnectedness of a person’s physical and mental health andthe subsequent need to pay attention to both realities during times of global crisis. Despite the challenges the pandemic presents, it is imperative that youth find an outlet to cope, one that will help them develop resiliency and a sense of hope.

Abstract. To date, few studies have focused on perceived overprotection from the perspective of people with dementia (PwD). In the present examination, the association of perceived overprotection in PwD is examined as an autonomy-restricting factor and thus negative for their mental well-being. Cross-sectional data from the prospective DYADEM study of 82 patient/partner dyads (mean age = 74.26) were used to investigate the association between overprotection, perceived stress, depression, and quality of life (QoL). The analyses show that an overprotective contact style with PwD has a significant positive association with stress and depression, and has a negative association with QoL. The results emphasize the importance of avoiding an overprotective care style and supporting patient autonomy.
