(2020)Objective of the study. This Master’s thesis investigates dyslexic university students and their learning experiences. Previous research has shown that dyslexia is related to learning in a variety of ways. However, previous research is primarily focused on children and adoles-cents. Further academic studies set new types of requirements to learning. Thus, it is neces-sary to explore dyslexic university students in order to find out especially the factors that are impeding and enhancing their studies. Efficient progress and the completion of academic studies are important for the students themselves, but also for the university and the society. This research examines the obstacles that dyslexic students face during their studies, and the variety of means and practices they use to overcome these challenges. Methods. The research material consists of ten semi-structured theme interviews. In the in-terviews the students were asked about their study habits, how dyslexia appears in their studies, which impeding and enhancing factors they could name, and what kind of social support they have received during the studies. The interview data were analysed by using a qualitative abductive content analysis. Finally, four different student profiles were formed based on the analysis. Results and conclusions. Results of the study indicated, that the dyslexic students experi-ence various impeding and enhancing factors in their academic studies. In addition to the factors related directly to dyslexia, study exhaustion was named as a major impeding factor. Self-regulation skills, study engagement, and social support were considered to be the most central factors in overcoming those challenges. Student profiles provide direction for differ-ent measures of support. According to the results, the interventions that are most crucially needed relate to the development of self-regulation skills during the studies, and to recogniz-ing and reducing study exhaustion at their early stages.

(2011)Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää Fazer Leipomot Oy:n tuotannon työntekijöiden hyvinvointia ja heidän työssään havaitsemiaan psykososiaalisia riski- ja kuormitustekijöitä. Taustalla oli organisaation ja työntekijän kehittäminen sekä työn mielekkyyden lisääminen. Työntekijän kuormituksesta johtuva stressi on myös yhteydessä työssäpysymisasenteeseen. Tutkimuksen avulla pyrittiin luomaan kehitysehdotuksia kohti terveempää organisaatiota. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin teemahaastattelujen avulla (n=12). Haastatteluiden pohjana toimi Maailman terveysjärjestö WHO:n luomat linjaukset psykososiaalisten riskien hallintaan (PRIMA–EF). Nämä teemat olivat työn sisältö, työmäärä ja –tahti, työaikamuoto, työn hallinta, työympäristö ja välineet, organisaatiokulttuuri ja toiminta, sosiaaliset suhteet, rooli organisaatiossa, työuran kehitys sekä työn ja muun elämän yhteensovittaminen. Haastatteluilla pyrittiin kuvaamaan työntekijöiden tunteita kuormituksesta ja tuomaan esille kehitysehdotuksia kohti parempaa huomista. Teemahaastattelut analysoitiin sisällönanalyysilla. Tulosten perusteella ”fazerilaisuutta” on edelleen havaittavissa ja Fazerilla on asioita, jotka ovat melko hyvin. Kuitenkin kehitettävää löytyy työntekijän kuormittuneisuuden parantamiseksi. Erityisesti esille nousivat arvostuksen tunne ja takaisinpäin viestintä. Lisäksi työntekijän motivoimiseksi ja sitouttamiseksi toivottiin lisää vaikutus- ja päätöksentekomahdollisuuksia. Vahvuuksia ilmeni muun muassa joustavuudessa ja työn ja muun elämän yhteensovittamisessa. Tuloksien luotettavuutta kuvaa muun muassa se, että Fazerin vuotuinen henkilöstökysely oli tuonut kyselylomakkeella esiin osittain samoja asioita. Fazerilla viihtyvyys on jo pitkään ollut hyvällä tasolla. Lisäksi työsuhteet ovat olleet ilmeisen pitkiä. Työympäristön nopea ja jatkuva muuttuminen ja työntekijöiden kasvava epävarmuus koettelevat työntekijöitä. Täten katseen suuntaaminen tulevaisuuteen sekä työntekijöiden hyvinvointiin ja työkykyyn panostaminen ovat tärkeässä roolissa. Fazer on vahva brändi, mutta huomio työntekijöiden kuormittuneisuuteen tulee jatkossakin olla osa Fazerin toimintaa.

(2022)Objective of the study. Dissertation researchers work on their dissertations, while simultaneously completing the studies required for their doctoral degree at the university. Previous research has shown that dissertation researchers often experience stress and exhaustion during their doctoral studies. In the light of previous research, some is already known about the well-being of dissertation researchers, but the link between burnout and social support has not been studied much. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of burnout symptoms and stress, as well as the experienced social support from the supervisor and the scientific community within dissertation researchers at the University of Helsinki. As a follow-up question, it was examined whether a) part-time and full-time dissertation researchers, b) dissertation researchers within different fields of study, and c) dissertation researchers working in a group or alone differ in terms of perceived burnout and social support. Third, the relation between social support received from the supervisor and the scientific community, and the experience of exhaustion, cynicism and stress was studied. Methods. The material of the study was collected from all dissertation researchers at the University of Helsinki in the spring of 2021, using an electronic form. The material comprises the answers of 768 dissertation researchers. The incidence of burnout symptoms, stress, and social support received from the supervisor and the scientific community was examined based on the mean, deviation, kurtosis and skewness, the Cronbach´s alphas, and the results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of the formed sum variables. Further, the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to determine whether part-time and full-time dissertation researchers, as well as dissertation researchers working alone or in a group differ in terms of perceived burnout symptoms, stress, and/or social support from the supervisor and the scientific community. Variance analysis was used to investigate the experiences of dissertation researchers within different doctoral schools. The relationship between burnout, stress, and social support was examined using Spearman's correlation coefficient, and further linear regression analysis. Results and conclusions. According to the results, the dissertation researchers at the University of Helsinki are somewhat burdened with their work. Full-time workers report, on average, more exhaustion and stress compared with part-time workers. The Doctoral schools differ in support provided by the scientific community. Dissertation researchers working at least partly in a group reportedly obtain more social support compared with researchers working alone. Support from the supervisor and the scientific community would appear to be able to reduce the stress experienced, as well as the symptoms of burn-out; exhaustion and cynicism.
