What is wellness? Investigating the importance of different domains of wellness among laypeople and experts: A survey study
CONCLUSIONS: To ensure the relevance of wellness models, it is vital to understand the areas that laypeople consider to be important for their comprehensive wellness.

Mental health problems among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a repeated cross-sectional study from Sweden
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with boys, adolescent girls self-reported worse mental health following COVID-19 exposure. Girls may have been more affected by social distancing regulations in Sweden during the pandemic than boys and may require additional psychosocial support post-pandemic. Social support from parents may play an important role.PMID:38217316 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231219832 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Meaningfulness and mortality: exploring the sense of coherence in Eastern Finnish men
CONCLUSIONS: The sense of coherence component related to meaningfulness, including its first item, 'Caring about what goes on around you', plays a significant role in the association with mortality among middle-aged men in Eastern Finland. This item should be considered a noteworthy patient-reported variable when predicting mortality in public health settings.PMID:38205561 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231220091 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Swedish women reaching post-traumatic growth after an intimate partner violence relationship: A study of formal help and growth after trauma
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of the Swedish women in this study who had lived in an IPV relationship attained PTG. Although formal help appeared to help the women attain PTG, the type of the formal help did not seem to have a crucial role in attaining different levels of PTG. These findings are discussed in the light of the future research directions and public health measures to better support women who experience IPV.PMID:38186090 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231222366 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

The relation between economic stressors and higher education students' mental health during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: We observed socioeconomic inequalities in students' mental health, which, in part, can be ascribed to a larger exposure to the economic stressors related to COVID-19 among students' with a low SES. The macroeconomic context also played a role, as the impact of a reduction in working hours on depressive symptoms was stronger in countries with poor economic conditions.PMID:38179954 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231185938 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Incidence of atrial fibrillation and flutter in Denmark in relation to country of origin: a nationwide register-based study
CONCLUSIONS: Substantial variation in the incidence of hospital-diagnosed AF according to country of origin was observed. The results may reflect true biological differences but could also reflect barriers to AF diagnosis for immigrants. Further efforts are warranted to determine the underlying mechanisms.PMID:38179955 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231205822 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

The diagnosis of cerebral palsy in two Danish national registries: a validation study

A taste of ambrosia: Do Olympic medalists live longer than Olympic losers?
CONCLUSIONS: Disciplines classified as engaging mostly power were linked to shorter lifespans, whereas those involving predominantly skill were associated with longer life durations. The interaction of being a medalist and sport was found to be significant. Medalists in the disciplines of athletics, basketball, boxing, equestrian sports, wrestling, and water polo had significantly shorter lives (the final item was insignificant after correction for multiple comparisons). Olympic achievement was linked to length of life in mainly individual, not team, sports.PMID:38180004 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231219833 (Source: Scandinavia...

Ethical dilemmas in conducting qualitative, public health research on social media: using a study on Facebook as a case
CONCLUSIONS: The ethical framework commonly referred to in health research, based on confidentiality, anonymity, informed consent and doing no harm must be adjusted to be relevant for a social media context where technologies and regulations are constantly being altered.PMID:38180016 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231219725 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)
