The purpose of this study was to explore the associations of prolonged unemployment, health, and work ability among young workers using data from the 2008-2010 Occupational Health Counselling project in Kuopio, Eastern Finland. The total sample for this study was 190 young unemployed adults. The questionnaire included the Work Ability Index (WAI), the Beck Depression Inventory, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and the Occupational Health Counselling Survey. Multivariate analyses revealed that men had a higher prevalence of prolonged unemployment than women. Using drugs for purposes other than treatment was associated independently with an increased prevalence of prolonged unemployment. Low WAI scores were associated with a higher prevalence of prolonged unemployment. This study showed that attention should be paid to male workers, those who have poor or moderate work ability and workers who use drugs. Young unemployed workers should be recognized at an early stage. A comprehensive, flexible network of community resources is essential to support young unemployed adults.

Terveydenhuolto on yksi verkostokumppani työttömien monialaisessa työelämävalmiuksien tukemisessa. Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on arvioida työttömien terveydenhuollon kehittämistä eri toimijoiden näkökulmista monitahoarvioinninviitekehyksessä. Aineisto kerättiin Työterveyslaitoksen osahankkeessa Työttömien terveyspalvelujen sisällön ja rakenteen kehittäminen, joka oli vuosina 2015–2018 osa ESR:n rahoittamaa hanketta Party – Parempaa työ- ja toimintakykyä.Arviointiaineisto on laadullinen ja moninäkökulmainen. Arviointikriteeristö muodostui käytännönläheisesti. Tulosten mukaan työttömien terveyspalvelujen yhteistyöverkoston toiminta edellyttää pysyviä toimintamalleja ja moniammatillisen yhteistyön tiivistämistä. Keskeisenä kehittämiskohteena on kokonaisvaltainen tiedon koordinointi ja asiakaslähtöisen yhteistyön kehittäminen sekä tasa-arvoisten terveyspalvelujen tuottaminen kaikille työikäisille. Asiakas tulee osallistaa omaan prosessiinsa ja huomioida yksiölliset palvelutarpeet. Lisäksi tarvitaan monitieteistä vaikuttavuustutkimusta palvelujen kehittämiseen.
