(University of HelsinkiHelsingin yliopistoHelsingfors universitet, 1998)Yhdeksän valmennettua ratsuhevosta suorittivat kilpailurasitustestin juoksumattotestinä viidesti kahden viikon välein. Puoli tuntia kilpailurasitustestin päättymisestä hevosille letkutettiin mahalaukkuun vettä tai liuoksia, joista yksi oli pelkkä glukoosi-elektrolyyttiliuos, toinen sisälsi leusiinia ja kolmas propionihappoa. Yksi ryhmä sai peroraalisesti betaiinia kahden viikon ajan ennen rasitustestiä. Vuorokauden kuluttua kilpailurasitustestin alusta hevoset suorittivat juoksumatolla standardoidun rasitustestin, jonka avulla tutkittiin hevosten palautumista edellisen päivän kilpailurasitustestistä. Hevosista otettiin rasitustestien aikana ja niiden välillä veri- ja lihasnäytteitä, joista tutkittiin glukoosi-, rasvahappo-, triglyseridi-, insuliini-, glukagoni- ja glykogeenipitoisuudet ja kahden lihassolujen metaboliaa kuvaavan entsyymin, sitraattisyntaasin (CS) ja 3-hydroksiasyyli-koA dehydrogenaasin (HAD), aktiivisuudet. Lihasrasituksen keston ja intensiteetin mukaan lihasrasituksessa rekrytoidaan eri lihassolutyyppejä ja käytetään erilaisia energialähteitä. Toistuvalla lihasharjoittelulla saattaa lihasten solutyypeissä ja solujen koossa tapahtua muutoksia. Kestävyysharjoittelulla lihassolujen oksidatiivinen kapasiteetti kasvaa, ja lihassolujen hiilihydraatti- ja rasva-aineenvaihduntaa kuvaavien entsyymien (CS ja HAD) aktiivisuudet nousevat. Palautumisvaiheessa liikuntarasituksen jälkeen lihasten glykogeenivarastoja täydennetään. Insuliini lisää glukoosin pääsyä lihassoluun ja stimuloi glykogeenisyntaasientsyymiä. Leusiinin tiedetään lisäävän insuliinin eritystä. Tämän tutkimuksen aikana ei hevosten lihassolujen solutyypeissä, poikkileikkauspinta-aloissa eikä solutyyppien mukaisissa pinta-alojen prosentuaalisissa osuuksissa tapahtunut muutoksia. Seuratuista metaboliaa kuvaavista entsyymeistä sitraattisyntaasin aktiivisuus nousi tutkimuksen aikana. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin edellä mainittujen liuosten vaikutusta hevosen palautumiseen liikuntarasituksen jälkeen, mutta mikään käsittely ei merkittävästi nopeuttanut koehevosten lihasten glykogeenivarastojen palautumista. Annettu leusiini lisäsi insuliinieritystä palautumisvaiheessa, propionihappo vähensi sitä.

(2023)Kandidaatintutkielmani tavoitteena oli koostaa laadullisen tutkimuksen keinoin tietoa johtajien työhy- vinvoinnista. Tarkastelen, miten johtajat ymmärtävät työhyvinvoinnin sekä siihen liittyvät tekijät ja millaisilla asioilla he voivat vaikuttaa omaan työhyvinvointiinsa. Johtajien työhyvinvoinnin tarkastelu on yleistyvä ja ajankohtainen aihe. Johtajat kokevat jatkuvasti uusia paineita ja muutoksia työssään, joten huoli työhyvinvoinnista kasvaa. Teoreettinen taustani koostuu johtamiseen, johtajien työhyvin- vointiin sekä työhyvinvointiin liittyvistä teemoista, eli motivaatiosta, stressistä sekä palautumisesta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kerätä johtajien omia kokemuksia työhyvinvointiin vaikuttavista seikoista. Aiheeni valikoitui oman kiinnostuksen sekä aiheen ajankohtaisuuden perusteella. Aineistoni koostui e-lomakkeella tehdystä kyselystä neljälle suomalaiselle johtajalle Toteutin tutki- mukseni laadullisena kyselytutkimuksena. Keräsin aineiston helmikuun puolessa välissä ja johtajilla oli viikko aikaa vastata kyselyyn. Kyselyssä teemoittelin kysymykset. Teemat vastasivat tutkimusky- symyksiäni, joilla haettiin ymmärrystä siihen, miten johtajat ymmärtävät työhyvinvoinnin ja miten he voivat itse ylläpitää ja kehittää sitä. Aineiston analysoin sisällönanalyysillä. Tulosten käsittelyn jäsen- telin tutkimuskysymysten suuntaisesti ja kokosin aineistosta nousseet pääteemat taulukoihin. Päätee- mojen alle kokosin teemaan liittyviä pienempiä havaintoja aineistosta. Tulosten mukaan tutkimukseen osallistuneilla suomalaisilla johtajilla on hyvin samantyylinen ymmärrys työhyvinvoinnista. Johtajien mielestä työhyvinvointiin kuuluvat peruspilarit, kuten fyysinen ja psyykkinen hyvinvointi sekä oikeanlaiset tavat palautua. Muun muassa johtajien palautumiskeinot yhtenevät vahvasti ja vastauksissa korostuu työstä irtautumisen tärkeys. Kuitenkin myös erilaisuuksia löytyi. Johtajat kokevat hyvin samanlaisia voimavaroja elämässään, joista suurimpina korostuivat vapaa-ajan voimavarat. Suomalaisille johtajille rentoutuminen ja oma aika ovat tärkeitä seikkoja työhyvinvoinnin kannalta. Johtajan työ koetaan haastavana, mutta se myös ylläpitää johtajien motivaatiota. Johtajat korostavat työhyvinvoinnissa muun muassa roolien selkeyttä, motivaatiota, voimavaroja sekä palautumista.

(2019)The research task of this Master's thesis is to describe, analyze and interpret how the principals of Finnish elementary schools and high schools experience their workload and their job satisfaction. These are examined by the workload and resource factors of principal’s job. In addition, the ways of how the workload appears and ways of recovery are discussed. The thesis is a qualitative pilot study for a broader welfare research conducted by the Finnish Principals Association, which will be implemented during 2019. Previous studies on the work of a Finnish principal have shown that his job description is extensive, that the workload is high and job satisfaction is put to the test every day. This research was guided by the following research questions: How do principals experience their workload and work satisfaction? What are the factors that the principals feel stressing them on their work and how does the workload show? What do the principals feel are resource factors in their work and how and by what means do they recover? The material consists of interviews with sixteen Finnish principals of elementary schools and high schools. The interviews were conducted as a semi-structured theme interview. The interview questions related to the principal’s own experience of their job satisfaction, workload, the ways in which the workload appears, their experience of the resources of their work, and how they feel they success to recover, and how do they recover. The material was analyzed phenomenographically because the subject of the research were the subjective perceptions and experiences of the principals. According to the material, the Finnish principals are very satisfied with their work, despite its relatively high workload. The experience of satisfaction arises especially through the independence, significance and influence of the work. The principal's experience and attitude also seemed to be relevant to how the workload was experienced. Generally, the workload was described high and the load was described to appear as typical stress-induced warning signs, but the principals, however, judged the workload as being reasonable. The workload was considered to be a natural part of the principal's work and the respondents tended to have a constructive attitude towards it. The principals also reported that their own recovery was generally successful, which according to respondents was of great importance to coping with work.

(2020)The aim of this article-type master's thesis was to examine the stress, coping, and metacognitive perspectives of special education teachers working in primary school during the remote teaching and learning period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to examine what kind of stress and coping experiences the teachers had during the remote learning period, as well as what kind of mindset the teachers had when facing the workload. In addition, the dissertation examined the connection between teachers' ways of thinking and experiencing the intensity of workload. Experiences were examined using the Coping-Competence-Context (3C)-model. The data of the study was collected by thematic interviews with special education teachers (n = 11) working in different parts of Finland. Teachers were working in primary schools during the remote teaching and learning period. In these interviews conducted remotely, respondents were asked to describe their experiences of workload, recovery from work, and mindset and attitudes towards work. The data were analyzed using theoretical content analysis. Qualitative analysis program ATLAS.ti version 8 was used to organize the data. The workload experienced by special education teachers was mainly emotional, and often related to daily work changes. The coping strategies were used in a variety of ways, and their use was increased and new means were introduced during the remote learning period. The part of the 3C model focusing on recovery received support from teachers’ experiences, suggesting that teacher workload and recovery are directly related. The link between metacognitive perspectives and intensity of the workload was only partially supported: two teachers who had a stress-is-debilitating mindset experienced a higher-than-average workload. Instead, nine teachers who had a stress-is-enhancing mindset experienced both light and intense workload. The article ”Laaja-alaisten erityisopettajien työn kuormitus ja palautuminen sekä ajattelutavat COVID-19-pandemian aiheuttaman etäopetusjakson aikana: kokemusten tarkastelua Coping-Competence-Context-mallin avulla” is to be published in the NMI Bulletin.

(2019)Aims. It is important to study factors to manage work-related stress to get more tools to support sustainable ways of doing work and flourishing work environments. The purpose of this study was to examine what extent servant leadership, sense of community and workaholism are associated with burnout and recovery from work. Job Demands-Resources Model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) and Conservation of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, 2001) were used as a theoretical framework of the study. In this study servant leadership and sense of community were considered as resources and workaholism as a work-related demand. Previous studies have shown that servant leadership and sense of community are negatively associated with burnout, whereas no previous research exist focusing on the associations between servant leadership, sense of community and recovery. According to previous studies, workaholism is positively associated with burnout and negatively associated with recovery. In this study, following the JD-R model, it was hypothesized that servant leadership and sense of community are negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with recovery. In addition, it was also hypothesized that workaholism is associated positively with burnout and negatively with recovery. Methods. This study is a part of an occupational health study, in which three large organizations (N = 1415) were examined by using an e-mail questionnaire. The participants answered questions concerning burnout, recovery, servant leadership, community and workaholism. The data was analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results and conclusions. The results showed that servant leadership and sense of community were negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with recovery. Workaholism was positively associated with burnout and negatively with recovery. As a conclusion, servant leadership and sense of community can serve as important social resources against burnout and support recovery from work. Thus, promoting servant leadership and employees’ sense of community might serve as advantages for organizations. In addition, it would be important to actively recognize workaholism to reduce its threat for employees’ well-being.

(2021)Objective of the study Work stress affects teachers mental and physical well-being, increases costs and sick leave, and affects work productivity. Prolonged, intense stress is associated with lower job satisfaction. The decline of teachers´ well-being also has a negative effect on students' learning. Recovery from work is important for health, ability to work and the teacher's own well-being. In today's working life, the time left for recovery has decreased and the individual must take more and more care of his or her own well-being and recovery. Successful recovery effectively prevents work demands from developing into stressors. The aim of this study was to find out which elements of work polytechnic teachers find stressful in their work, what effects they perceive as work stress, what means of recovery they have at their disposal and what things may prevent success of recovery. Methods The 22 interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis, in which they report on their own well-being, stress experiences and recovery from work as part of a broader thematic interview. The interview material has been collected since the end of 2019. Results and conclusions Polytechnic teachers perceive excessive workload, uneven workload and hurry as the most stressful elements in their own work. An examination of the effects of stress experiences showed that teachers perceive that work stress affects them above all mentally. Of the physical effects, sleep-related problems in particular were reflected in teachers' coping. An examination of the means of recovery showed that polytechnic teachers consider hobbies and social relationships to be the most important means of recovery. Most polytechnic teachers experience challenges in recovering from work. The majority of teachers feel that recovery is not enough or is only seasonal. Haste and too much work proved to be the biggest obstacles to recovery not always succeeding.

(2020)In Helsinki Medical school, half of the students experience lot of stress during their studies. Earlier inter-national research shows that university students wellbeing can be improved with practicing mindfulness skills, but in Finland there are fewer studies in this topic. Research on mindfulness trainings effects on different study programs, age-groups and genders are also missing. The aim of this study was to find out, if practicing mindfulness is linked to better wellbeing in university students in Helsinki Medical school. Other aim was to find out and there some effect concerning study program, gender, age, the amount of mindfulness training or earlier mindfulness background. The study was randomized controlled trial research with intervention- (N=52) and control group (N=35). Intervention group practiced mindfulness skills on different methods and control group had sup-port as usual from the university. The measures were gathered with online questionnaire in the in the baseline and at the end of the study (5-8weeks). T-test was used to analyze changes between baseline and finish measurements. Repeated ANOVA was used to measure intervention effect. The overall wellbeing in the intervention group did not change during the intervention. Whereas in control groups wellbeing decreased statistically significantly in almost every variable. It is possible, that mindfulness training helps to prevent increase of stress levels. There was seen decrease in subjective wellbeing in both groups, but in the intervention group the decrease was significantly less (p= 0.03, η2 =.053). The intervention effect size (η2) was small. In intervention group there was a significant differ-ence between medical and dentistry students and psychology and logopedics student’s subjective wellbe-ing (p=0.037, η2=.084). There was a moderate intervention effect (η2). Medical and dentistry students experienced more effect from the intervention. Due to small amount of the study subjects, results are di-rectional. The results support the earlier findings where mindfulness has effect on wellbeing. Methods based on mindfulness training should be studied more to find out cost effective and preventive ways to support medical student’s wellbeing. More research is also needed to find out the best methods for different genders, age groups and students from different study programs.

(University of HelsinkiHelsingin yliopistoHelsingfors universitet, 1997)Yhdeksän ratsuhevosta suoritti viisi kertaa juoksumatolla kilpailurasitustestin kuumassa ja kosteassa kahden viikonvälein. Kilpailurasitustestin jälkeen hevosille annettiin nenä-nieluletkun kautta glukoosi-elektrolyyttiliuosta javiimeisellä kerralla pelkkää vettä. Vuorokauden kuluttua kilpailurasitustestin alusta hevoset suorittivat vakioidun rasitustestin, jossa seurattiin hevosten palautumista kilpailurasitustestistä. Rasituksessa syntyi paljon ylimääräistä lämpöä, joka poistetaan elimistöstä pääasiassa hikoilemalla. Hien mukana hevoset menettävät runsaasti nesteitä ja elektrolyyttejä. Nesteiden menetyksen arvioimiseksi hevosten paino mitattiinennen ja jälkeen rasitustestien. Niiden rektaalilämpö mitattiin ja hevosilta otettiin verinäytteitä rasitustestin aikana ja sen jälkeen. Plasmasta määritettiin plasmanmäärä, kokonaisproteiinit ja osmolaalisuus. Lisäksi siitä mitattiin natriumin, kloridin, kaliumin, kalsiumin, magnesiumin, aldosteronin ja argiini-vasopressiinin pitoisuudet. Hevosten painon palautuminen oli nopeampaa kokeen edetessä. Lisäksi hevosten plasmamäärä lisääntyi, plasmanosmolaalisuus laski, natriumin ja kloridin menetysrasitustestin aikana väheni ja kloridipitoisuus palautui nopeammin rasituskertojen lisääntyessä. Muutokset johtuvat hevosten sopeutumisesta kuumaan ja kosteaan ilmastoon. Glukoosi-elektrolyyttiliuoksen antaminen nopeutti hevosten palautumista rasituksen aiheuttamasta neste- ja elektrolyyttihukasta paremmin kuin pelkän veden antaminen. Viidennen kilpailurasitustestin jälkeen, jolloin hevosille annettiin vettä nenä-nieluletkun kautta, painon palautuminen oli huomattavasti hitaampaa, kun sitä verrataan muihin testikertoihin.

(2019)Tavoitteet. Työhyvinvointiin vaikuttavat nykyajan muuttuvassa työelämässä useat eri tekijät, jotka voidaan karkeasti jakaa työn kuormitus- ja voimavaratekijöihin. Kohtuullinen määrä kuormitusta tekee työstä motivoivaa, mutta liiallinen kuormitus ja vähäiset voimavaratekijät voivat altistaa liialliselle stressille ja mahdolliselle loppuunpalamiselle. Työssä jaksaminen ja työn kuormituksista palautuminen vaikuttavat työntekijöiden kokonaisvaltaiseen hyvinvointiin sekä työn laatuun tasapainottamalla kuormitus- ja voimavaratekijöiden suhdetta. Puheterapeuttien työhyvinvointia on aiemmin tutkittu jonkin verran julkisella sektorilla työskentelevien puheterapeuttien näkökulmasta. Yksityisellä sektorilla työskentelevien puheterapeuttien työnkuva poikkeaa monin tavoin julkisella sektorilla työskentelevien puheterapeuttien työnkuvasta, mutta heidän työhyvinvoinnistaan ei ole aikaisemmin tehty tutkimusta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten yksityisellä sektorilla työskentelevät puhetera-peutit jaksavat työssään ja miten he palautuvat työn kuormituksista. Lisäksi selvitettiin millaisia keinoja puheterapeutit käyttävät edistääkseen työssä jaksamista ja palautuakseen työn kuormituksista. Menetelmät. Tutkimusta varten haastateltiin kahdeksaa yksityisellä sektorilla työskentelevää puheterapeuttia. Haastateltujen työpaikan laatu ja työkokemuksen määrä vaihtelivat. Haastattelumenetelmänä käytettiin puolistrukturoitua teemahaastattelua. Haastattelurunko muodostettiin aikaisempaan tutkimukseen ja aiheeseen keskeisesti liittyviin teorioihin pohjautuen. Haastattelut äänitettiin ja litteroitiin. Kerätty aineisto analysoitiin induktiivisen sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tulokset ja johtopäätökset. Puheterapeuttien työssä jaksaminen oli tämän tuktimuksen havaintojen valossa hyvää. Puheterapeutit kokivat työssä jaksamisensa parantuneen työuransa aikana. Tärkeimpinä työssä jaksamista edesauttavina tekijöinä pidettiin kollegiaalista tukea, työn vapautta, asiakkaita, työnohjausta ja koulutuksia. Myös työn kuormituksista palautuminen oli tämän tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan hyvää. Palautumisen kannalta merkittävimpiä tekijöitä olivat uni, liikunta ja luonto, perhe ja sosiaaliset suhteet sekä harrastukset. Työssä jaksamista tukevat ja palautumista edesauttavat tekijät ovat yksilöllisiä, mutta yhdistäviä piirteitä löytyy paljon. Jatkossa olisi tarpeellista selvittää, millaisia kuormitustekijöitä yksityisellä sektorilla työskentelevien puheterapeuttien työnkuvaan sisältyy ja miten työorganisaatiossa voitaisiin tukea puheterapeuttien työhyvinvointia.
