Tuula Törhönen (2016), Well-being of female entrepreneur. Factors influencing the health and work ability of young female entrepreneurs. Department of Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Master’s thesis, 68 pp., 6 appendices. The purpose of this study was to gather notions of health and work ability by young female entrepreneurs. Aim was to describe whether the popular belief of entrepreneurs’ always on duty mentality was still true among young entrepreneurs or have these young female entrepreneurs started their entrepreneurship from a different foundation. The study was a qualitative interview study. Open theme interview was the method for col-lecting the data and analysis was carried out using content analysis. The interviews were conducted between May and September 2015 via video conference or via telephone. Six young women participated, they were entrepreneurs from Northern Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia and Kainuu. Women were between ages 22 and 33 and had been entrepreneurs for one to eight years. According to this study young female entrepreneurs acknowledge well how their own health and work ability influence the operation of their enterprise. They also understand how comprehensive input one needs for one’s health and work ability. Entrepreneurs benefit from boundaries set for themselves, otherwise work can carry one away and this can result in burn out. Entrepreneurs need planning and anticipation skills through which work and other parts of life as a whole can be constructed to a working combination. Entrepreneurs report that getting basic information regarding entrepreneurship and finding suitable training opportunities can be challenging. On the other hand it is possible that time of the entrepreneur is mainly utilised for daily business affairs. It requires a lot of initiative from the entrepreneur in order to find the needed additional information. Different networks pre-sent as a useful help for the entrepreneurs and they are utilised when possible. The results of this study can be beneficial for entrepreneurs when they plan their business operations. Additionally, results can be used when renewing or improved targeting of entrepreneurial services. Schools at different levels can also for their part evaluate how different educational programmes can in a new way consider entrepreneurship as career choice and draw attention to maintaining health and work ability during their career as an entrepreneur. Policymakers can utilise the results when considering entrepreneurial services or the structure behind these services. Key words: Women entrepreneurs, well-being, health, work ability, knowledge, peer support...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of older couples who participated in the Circle of Couples – group. It also aimed to understand what the meaning of Circle of Couples was for the older couples and how they described their life with early-stage memory disorder. The philosophical foundation for this study was based on qualitative content analysis and phenomenology. Older couples form the core of this research. Theoretical framework for this research was based on the principles of the Circle of Couples group: early-stage dementia, strengths of the relationship, self-efficacy, self-management, and peer support. The number of people living with memory disorders is growing rapidly so there is a need for tailored solutions for people with dementia and their spouses. Circle of Couples – group is based on a randomized controlled trial. The main objective of the group is to provide peer support as it creates a sense of belonging and it allows the couples to exchange ideas and share information. The empirical part of this study was based on qualitative research. I interviewed three older couples who had participated in the Circle of Couples – group during fall 2020. I collected the data by using semi-structured phone interviews and semi-structured focus group interview. The couples participated in the interviews as dyads. I used content analysis as a method of analysis. The findings of this study suggest that participation in the Circle of Couples – group may promote the feeling that the older couple is not alone with memory disorder. Participation in the group may enhance older couple’s wellbeing by encouraging them to talk about dementia openly. Participating in the group also seemed to promote the feeling that life with dementia can still be of good quality. Based on the results and conclusions of this study, it is possible to say that timely participation in the Circle of Couples group may support the wellbeing of older couples. Further research is needed to promote the wellbeing of older couples. There is a need to change the ways in which memory disorders are perceived in the society, there should be a pursuit to empower people with dementia. Older couples should be treated with a holistic approach. There is a need for co-operation to create a memory-friendly society which can enhance the well-being of older couples facing life with progressive memory disorder....

Chronically Ill and Online Peer-to-Peer Support
(2020)
vaikutukset samankaltaisia suomalaisten narkolepsiapotilaiden joukossa.
Krooniset sairaudet hankaloittavat elämää monin tavoin. Vertaistuki auttaa potilaita ymmärtämään sairautta paremmin ja tuntemaan itsensä normaaliksi sairaudesta huolimatta. Kroonisesti...
This master’s thesis explored online peer-to-peer communities for chronically ill, how patients use them and how they affect their well-being. In addition to that, it was researched if the usage and effects are similar amongst Finnish narco-lepsy patients. Chronic diseases complicate life in many ways. Peer-to-peer support helps patients to understand their disease better and to feel more normal despite the disease. The amount of chronically ill patients has been increasing globally which means that there is an increasing need for peer-to-peer support. The internet offers new ways to conduct peer-to-peer support. Online communities and social media allow patients to interact with each other re-gardless of their physical location. The topic was researched with a literature review and interviews. At first, earlier studies about chronically ill and online peer-to-peer support or online health-communication were explored. After that, semi-structured interviews were conducted with Finnish narcolepsy patients. Interviews were analyzed with thematic analysis. Finnish narcolepsy patients as well as other chronically ill use online peer-to-peer support communities mainly to discuss their own experiences and share information about their disease. Online peer-to-peer support has many benefits: it gives a sense of connec-tion, and helps to feel less isolated and to find new information. Chatting with peers helps to accept the disease as a normal part of one’s life. Finnish narco-lepsy patients had experienced similar benefits. Online peer-to-peer support might set up too high expectations or make one take his peers’ negative experiences too personally. Some patients might trust their peers too much and take poor advice from them. Finnish narcolepsy patients had not experienced these negative effects....
