“…Regarding the research hypotheses, consistent with the results of previous research (e.g., Blom et al, 2007;Carlson et al, 2006;Kulik & Liberman, 2013), a larger number of roles was significantly associated with a sense of MIL among working parents (supporting Hypothesis 1). However, occupying a large number of roles was related only to the experience of WIF conflict and not to FIW conflict (partially supporting Hypothesis 2).…”

Based on a sample of 611 employed parents in Israel, the study aimed to examine how occupying multiple roles on the one hand and satisfying roles on other hand are related to a sense of meaning in life (MIL). In addition, the contribution of two types of role conflict-interference of work with family (WIF) and interference of family with work (FIW) -to explaining MIL was examined. The findings revealed that the number of roles as well as the proportion of satisfying roles was directly related to a sense of MIL. Moreover, the number of roles and the proportion of satisfying roles occupied by the participants were indirectly related to their sense of MIL: The relation between the number of roles and sense of MIL was mediated by FIW conflict, whereas the relation between the proportion of satisfying roles and the sense of MIL was mediated by both types of role conflict (FIW and WIF). Men showed a greater tendency than women to experience WIF conflict, whereas no gender differences were found with regard to FIW conflict. Long hours of work outside of the home were positively related to WIF conflict and negatively related to FIW conflict.Most of the early studies dealing with the impact of multiple roles on well-being were conducted among women, following their massive entry into the labor market (Brody, 1981). At that time, many women enlarged their role set by adding paid employment outside of the home to their

“…17,19,20 The current study is the first to demonstrate the longitudinal association between divorce and AMI and extends our understanding of lifetime exposure to social stressors and cardiovascular risks. The results of this study contribute to mounting evidence that AMI risks associated with social stressors are of the relative magnitude of established risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and hypertension.…”

Background Divorce is a major life stressor that can have economic, emotional, and physical health consequences. However, the cumulative association between divorce and risks for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unknown. This study investigated the association between lifetime exposure to divorce and the incidence of AMI in U.S. adults. Methods and Results We used nationally representative data from a prospective cohort of ever-married adults aged 45 to 80 (n=15,827) who were followed biennially from 1992 to 2010. Approximately 14% of men and 19% of women were divorced at baseline and more than one-third of the cohort had at least one divorce in their lifetime. In 200,524 person-years of follow-up, 8% (n=1,211) of the cohort had an AMI and age-specific rates of AMI were consistently higher in those who were divorced relative to those who were continuously married (P<.05). Results from competing-risk hazard models showed that AMI risks were significantly higher in women who had 1 divorce (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.01-1.55), 2 or more divorces (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.30-2.41), and among the remarried (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.07-1.70) compared with continuously married women after adjusting for multiple risk factors. Multivariable-adjusted risks were elevated only in men with a history of 2 or more divorces (HR, 1.30; 95%CI, 1.02-1.66) relative to continuously married men. Men who remarried had no significant risk for AMI. Interaction terms for sex were not statistically significant. Conclusions Divorce is a significant risk factor for AMI. The risks associated with multiple divorces are especially high in women and are not reduced with remarriage.

“…The direction of effects of employment status on depression in women, in general, is inconsistent; some research has shown that working protects against depression [40], yet other research has found that working does not reduce and can even increase the experience of depressed mood [41]. Although controls with multiple caregiving roles were less likely to be depressed at the 12-month follow-up compared with baseline, controls, but not patients, who identified themselves as homemakers were twice as likely to report elevated depressed mood as controls who were working at least part time.…”

The effect of caregiving roles on risk of elevated depressed mood over 12 months was examined in early-stage (0-IIA) breast cancer patients and same-aged women without breast cancer. Women were interviewed 4-6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months following definitive surgical treatment (patients) or routine screening mammogram (controls). The Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale was administered at each interview and dichotomized for analysis (<16 [little/no depressed mood] vs. ≥16 [elevated depressed mood]). Participants were categorized as having no caregiving responsibilities, care-giving for children or other persons, or caregiving for both children and others (multiple caregiving roles). Two multivariable marginal logistic regression models with repeated measures were fit (one each for patients and controls) to examine the effect of caregiving roles on elevated depressed mood, using generalized estimating equations to account for intra-individual correlations. Of 1096 participants (mean age 58; 76% white), 1019 with caregiving data were included in the analysis.
