“…The health benefits of reading fiction may thus originate from the meaningfulness of the occupation, which is in line with theories on occupation (28). The importance of meaningfulness in occupation and its relation to health is furthermore stressed in other studies (29)(30)(31).…”

Based on the categories, reading fiction is seen to comprise intentional, functional, mental, relational, and personal dimensions. A tentative model of supporting one's active self is proposed, which may be helpful in clarifying the mechanisms of the process of change. The health-related dimensions of reading fiction suggest that reading fiction should be regarded as a significant occupation comparable with other, more highlighted ones. Understood in this way, it is argued that the results add to the knowledge base in occupational therapy focusing on how meaningful occupations connect to occupational life trajectories.

“…In the second and third wave, the stratification groups consisted of ≥5, 1–4 and 0 points [24]. The increased cut-off level of ≥5 points was based on an increased alcohol consumption observed among younger women [25]. In the two first waves, a random selection of those who had not responded to the SWAG questionnaire were invited for interview in order to increase the numbers and statistical power.…”

Suicidal ideation and attempts in population-based samples of women: temporal changes between 1989 and 2015

et al. 2019

Background Little is known about temporal changes in the prevalence of self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts within general populations of women. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts over a 26 year period (1989–2015) among women from the general population aged 20–49 years. A further aim was to investigate associations between sociodemographic factors and lifetime suicidal ideation over this study period. Methods A total of 2072 structured personal interviews were performed with a stratified population-based sample of women between 1989 and 2015. Questions about lifetime suicidal ideation and attempts as well as sociodemographic factors were assessed at four data collection waves. Lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempts were compared through analysis of differences between two independent proportions and their 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Associations between sociodemographic factors and lifetime suicidal ideation were estimated by weighted odds ratios (OR). Results Women aged 20–30 years reported higher lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation in 2013–2015 compared to 1989–1991 (45 and 33% respectively). Rates of lifetime suicide attempts remained similar between these time points (3.5 and 3.1% respectively). Women aged 31–49 years reported higher lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation in 2013–2015 compared to 2000–2002 (35.4 and 23.1% respectively). In this age group, lifetime suicide attempts increased from 0.0% in 2000–2002 to 3.6% in 2013–2015. Women aged 20–30 years who were single, unemployed or had low educational attainment had higher OR of lifetime suicidal ideation compared to the reference categories in most of the study waves. In 2013–2015, young students had lower OR of lifetime suicidal ideation (OR 0.34; 95% CI 0.17–0.69) compared to those with employment. Women aged 31–49 years, who were single, had higher OR of lifetime suicidal ideation (OR 2.61; 95% CI 1.06–6.44) than married, cohabiting women and this was observed in 2013–2015. Conclusion The results raise a general concern about an increasing trend in suicidal ideation among young and middle-aged women. The current study expands on previous research by demonstrating that sociodemographic factors may show changing patterns in the associations with lifetime suicidal ideation over time.

“…While such methods are increasingly popular in contemporary research on lifestyles and health behaviours (162)(163)(164)(165)(166), none of the studies in our review used these empirical cluster or latent class analytic strategies. [An interesting study by Andersson et al (167) did employ cluster analytic techniques in the analysis of women's patterns of everyday occupations and alcohol consumption but did not meet the inclusion criteria for this review.] Seven studies (11%) in this review used personcentred time-geographic methods (39), capturing activity patterns as a multidimensional unit with outputs in the form of graphs that illustrate the complexity of "everyday patterns of doing" [(15), p. 16].…”
