“…They also scored lower in self-esteem than men. These characteristics have often been reported in other studies researching women across professions (Daalen et al 2005;Grossi et al 2003;Scherer et al 1990;Voltmer and Spahn 2009). Concordant with these findings, resignation tendencies were the only dimension with no significant differences between women across the professional groups investigated here.…”

The development of a successful enterprise depends, in part, on the health of the entrepreneur. The large proportion of entrepreneurs with the healthy pattern irrespective of gender may support the notion that self-selection effects of healthy individuals in this special career might be important. At the same time, a large proportion was at risk for overexertion and might benefit from measures to cope with professional demands and stress and promote a healthy behavior pattern.

“…Together, our analyses of family and friend relationships suggest that among those with a history of SUD, both men and women face family situations that are problematic (although the specific dimensions of problematic family relations differ), and consistent with other research, that women place a stronger reliance on friend networks to meet emotional needs than men (Colarossi & Eccles, 2003;Siebert, Mutran, & Reitzes, 1999;van Daalen, Sanders, & Willemsen, 2005). While these putative distinctions require replication and more detailed examination, it is possible that they reflect real differences in seeking and receiving support.…”

Based on social control perspectives and results from prior studies we test hypotheses about the extent to which characteristics of family and social networks are associated with substance use disorders (SUD), and whether these associations vary by sex. In this study SUD is alcohol or illicit drug abuse or dependence as defined by criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. With nationally representative data of adult Latinos from the National Latino and Asian American Survey (NLAAS), we found that respondents' language use with family, rather than language proficiency, appears to be a more efficient proxy for social assimilation to represent differential levels of risk of SUD. SUD was positively associated with problematic family relations for men but not women, and SUD was positively associated with more frequent interactions with friends for women but not men. The results suggest that the salient features of social assimilation associated with SUD include the context of language use and transformations in family and social network relationships that differ in important ways between Latino men and women.A substantial body of epidemiologic studies confirms a central conclusion about substanceuse patterns among Latinos in the U.S.: Latinos whose birthplace was outside the U.S. have lower rates of substance abuse and dependence than do Latinos born in the U.S. (Alegría, Canino, Stinson, & Grant., 2006;Amaro, Whitaker, Coffman, & Heeren, 1990;Boles, Casas, Furlong, Gonzalez, & Morrison, 1994;Burnam, Hough, Karno, Escobar, & Telles, 1987;Canino, Burnam, & Caetano, 1992;Grant et al., 2005;Ortega, Rosenheck, Alegría, & Desai, 2000;Turner & Gil, 2002;Vega, Alderete, Kolody, & Aguilar-Gaxiola, 1998a). Additional support for this conclusion comes from multiple international studies, including those conducted in Latin America, showing consistently lower national prevalence estimates for past Despite consistent differences in SUD between U.S.-born and foreign-born Latinos, reasons for the nativity effect are not well understood. One likely explanation is that those born abroad experience lower risk because socialization about alcohol and drug use within family and social networks is linked to strong social control against substance abuse, and immigrants carry these internalized controls with them into the U.S. Antonucci and Akiyama (1987) noted that immigrants rely on a "convoy" model to sustain cultural continuity, using families and extended social networks as agents to preserve prescribed and proscribed behaviors. Consequently, risk for SUD is heightened when there are disruptions in cultural continuity. A range of theories have been developed to explain culture change processes in general, relying on concepts of acculturation and assimilation (e.g., Alba & Nee, 2003;Berry, 1980;Gordon, 1964; Rumbaut, 1994; Vega, Gil, Wartheit, Zimmerman, & Apospori, 1993), which are challenging to operationalize.Critiques have been made regarding the exclusive reliance on accultu...

“…Much of the research has been focused on definitions of social support and social networks, in addition to the identification of essential, active network factors such as size, quality, availability, density, reciprocity and utilization, how networks function and to what degree they facilitate service utilization and support recovery. The attempts at defining social support and social networks illustrate a diverse set of approaches, and one can hardly imagine any simple instrument being developed that could accurately measure social support 1 (Felton and Shinn 1992, van Daalen et al 2005, Tello et al 2005. Some researchers have suggested that larger meta-analyses will identify the central factors (Haber et al 2007), while others have underscored the complexity in both environmental resources and individual needs (O'Reilly 1988, Buchanan 1995, Hardiman 2004, Williams et al 2004, Dorvil et al 2005, Cox 2006, Östberg 2007 and suggested that the subjective and objective aspects of social support and social networks can best be approached by the use of qualitative methods (Williams et al 2004).…”

Høgskolen i HedmarkNotat nr. 2 -2012 Emneord: Sosial støtte, sosialt nettverk, mental helse klienter. Sammendrag:Dette notatet bygger på en undersøkelse der 850 medlemmer av brukerorganisasjonen Mental Helse svarte på spørsmål om erfaringer med ulike deler av hjelpeapparatet og i hvilken grad de hadde et sosialt nettverk og hvordan dette fungerte. Det ble også krysset av for alder, kjønn, sivilstand, skole-eller yrkestilknytning og bosituasjon. Bakgrunnen for undersøkelsen var et ønske om å forstå mer av samspillet mellom sosiale nettverk og profesjonelle tjenester. Mange studier har illustrert betydningen av sosial støtte og sosiale nettverk for personer med psykiske problemer eller lidelser, og dessuten vist at sosiale nettverk både kan bety redusert behov for profesjonelle tjenester og bedre tilgang til slike tjenester. Vi har likevel begrenset kunnskap om hvordan samspillet mellom sosiale nettverk og profesjonelle tjenester fungerer.Ca. 4000 medlemmer fikk tilsendt spørreskjemaet og knapt 1000 svarte. Støttemedlemmene ble ekskludert fra den kvantitative analysen (men inkludert i kvalitative analyser av det samme utvalget). Cirka 1/3 av respondentene var menn og alderen varierte fra 20 til 80 år, med hovedtyngden mellom 40 og 60 år. 67 % hadde uføretrygd, 13 % var i jobb og 20 % kombinerte trygd med jobb eller studier. Respondentene har erfaringer fra alle deler av hjelpeapparatet, d.v.s. fra tradisjonelle psykiatriske sykehus, DPS-er, dagsentra, individualterapi, familieterapi, hjelpetelefoner, krisesentra, kunst-og kroppsorienterte terapier m.m.Dataene viste at de aller fleste opplever å ha støttende sosiale nettverk. Videre fant vi at disse nettverkene på flere måter kan sies å erstatte profesjonelle tjenester. Når det gjelder hjelp til bedring, kan sosiale nettverk tilby kvaliteter som er på høyde med de profesjonelle tjenestene. Videre fant vi en positiv sammenheng mellom tillit til et sosialt nettverk og tillit til profesjonelle tjenester. Tillit til et sosialt nettverk øker også sannsynligheten for at erfaringene med de profesjonelle tjenestene blir positive.Det er flere konklusjoner som kan trekkes av denne studien. Bl.a. tilsier funnene at nettverkskvaliteter i større grad burde inkluderes i de profesjonelle tjenestene. De åpne nettverksmøtene, hvor profesjonelle og nettverksmedlemmer møtes på mer likeverdig basis, kan her vaere en god modell. Videre vil det ha stor betydning om profesjonelle kan hjelpe utsatte grupper med å bygge egne nettverk. Summary:Background: Several studies have illustrated the importance of social support and social networks for persons with mental health problems. Social networks may mean a reduced need for professional services, but also help to facilitate access to professional help. The interplay between social networks and professional services is complicated and invites further investigation.
