Work and family: associations with long-term sick-listing in Swedish women – a case-control study
No full textAbstract Background The number of Swedish women who are long-term sick-listed is high, and twice as high as for men. Also the periods of sickness absence have on average been longer for women than for men. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between factors in work- and family life and long-term sick-listing in Swedish women. Methods This case-control study included 283 women on long-term sick-listing ≥90 days, and 250 female referents, randomly chosen, living in five counties in Sweden. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with odds ratios were calculated to estimate the associations between long-term sick-listing and factors related to occupational work and family life. Results Long-term sick-listing in women is associated with self-reported lack of competence for work tasks (OR 2.42 1.23–11.21 log reg), workplace dissatisfaction (OR 1.89 1.14–6.62 log reg), physical workload above capacity (1.78 1.50–5.94), too high mental strain in work tasks (1.61 1.08–5.01 log reg), number of employers during work life (OR 1.39 1.35–4.03 log reg), earlier part-time work (OR 1.39 1.18–4.03 log reg), and lack of influence on working hours (OR 1.35 1.47–3.86 log reg). A younger age at first child, number of children, and main responsibility for own children was also found to be associated with long-term sick-listing. Almost all of the sick-listed women (93%) wanted to return to working life, and 54% reported they could work immediately if adjustments at work or part-time work were possible. Conclusion Factors in work and in family life could be important to consider to prevent women from being long-term sick-listed and promote their opportunities to remain in working life. Measures ought to be taken to improve their mobility in work life and control over decisions and actions regarding theirs lives.</p

Orka jobba till 65?
No full textMånga kvinnor i Sverige närmar sig nu för första gången efter ett långt yrkesliv sin pensionering. De är den första generationen kvinnor i modern tid där de flesta har yrkesarbetat utanför hemmet under en längre period. De har mest jobbat inom vård, skola och omsorg. Undersköterska i äldreomsorg är ett av de allra vanligaste jobben i den här generationen. Det är en yrkesgrupp där arbetssjukdomar och arbetsolyckor är vanliga. Många slutar sina jobb långt före pensionen. En del stannar kvar i jobbet och det är några av de kvinnorna som har intervjuats. Vi ville veta hur de ser på sitt arbete och sitt arbetsliv, hur deras hälsa är och om de tror att de kommer att jobba till 65 år eller möjligen längre. Fokus har varit att i första hand ta reda på vad som är hälsofrämjande. Det är att ha ett salutogent perspektiv och då riktas fokus mot styrkor, resurser och faktorer som bidrar till en god hälsa och välbefinnande.</p
Perspektiv på kvinnors hälsa i arbetslivet
No full textVägen till jämställdhet är lång och än har vi inte nått målet. Den politiska viljan och de sociala normer som styr mäns och kvinnors vardagsliv är ännu inte riktigt i fas. Den könsuppdelade arbetsmarknaden i Sverige betyder lägre löner för kvinnor och mer deltid. Det här skapar ett beroendeförhållande till en partner som har inkomster från ett heltidsarbete eller till bidragsberoende.</p
Job mismatching, unequal opportunities and long-term sickness absence in female white-collar workers in Sweden
No full textAim: To investigate associations between long-term sick-listing and factors at work and in family life. Methods: Associations were investigated in a cross-sectional case-referent study. The study base included women in white-collar jobs, aged 30-55 years, living in three urban areas in Sweden between February 2004 and October 2004. A postal questionnaire was constructed with questions on occupational and family circumstances, and sent to 513 randomly selected female white-collar workers, of whom 233 had ongoing sick-leave of 90 days or more. The response rate was 81% (n = 413). Results: Most of the women in this study were in managerial positions. The unadjusted associations showed that sick-listed women with children showed the highest estimates regarding reported long working hours, bullying, high mental strain, low control and low influence at work, and work-family imbalance. In a regression model, the strongest associations were: experiencing too high mental strain in work tasks (odds ratio (OR) = 2.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.09-3.15) and low control and influence at work (OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.60-2.94). Sick-listed women reported an overall higher dissatisfaction with their workplace and working life. Conclusions: There seems to be a greater tendency for the sick-listed women in this study to experience low control and too high mental strain at work and to live in traditional family relationships with unequal opportunities. The women who were sick-listed were probably less able to cope with work stress and to find a balance between work and family life.</p
