摘要:

A study was carried out to test the association between workplace stress and depression among working women and men in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The data are from the 1984 German national health survey. The sample (N = 795) was composed of 319 working women and 476 working men. The hypothesis tested was that depression is related to high job demands and low job decision latitude. Correlation and multiple regression analyses supported the hypothesis for both women and men. However, the mean level of decision latitude was lower for women than men, as was the level of job demands. The mean depression score was higher for women, and correlations between depression and high job demands/low decision latitude were stronger for women than men. It was concluded that low decision latitude combined with high job demands, a condition experienced frequently by working women, contributes to depression among working women in the FRG. Study findings shed light on the health of employed women in the FRG and may also have implications for working women in other Western industrialized nations.

摘要:

Gender differences in college students' perceptions and satisfaction with body weight were examined. Females tended to perceivev themselves as overweight when they were not, failed to see themselves as underweight when they were, and many of those who did not see themselves as even slightly overweight wanted to lose weight. Although males reported some dissatisfaction with their bodies, they tended to want to gain rather than lose weight. Females dieted more frequently than did males, and nearly one-third of the females reported either self-induced vomiting or laxative use as a weight-loss strategy. The relationship between social pressure for female slenderness, dieting, and eating disorders are discussed.

摘要:

This study was designed to examine the content of advertisements in medical journals to determine if the images of women are different than those of men. The method for this investigation was content analysis of a stratified random sample of issues of selected medical journals that regularly include picture advertisements. Advertisements were analyzed according to criteria and characteristics derived from a review of the literature. Interrater reliability was computed as a function of agreements. The results indicate that readers of medical journals are still being exposed to images of women that are negative and outdated. Until portrayals of women are consistently positive and timely, the images can have a negative effect on the health care women receive.

摘要:

Increasingly, state hospitals are discharging large numbers of patients to their families and a significant number of these patients are severely mentally ill. The burden upon mothers who live alone and have to care for chronically mentally ill adult children is the focus of this paper. The author explores this phenomenon through the use of a qualitative research methodology to better capture the problems and struggles ion these caretaking arrangements. Increased stress is found to contribute to a greater vulnerability to illness for the mother. Interventions are suggested which would reduce this burden and contribute towards a more healthy environment for the mother.

摘要:

Being poor in the United States means being exposed to the Medicaid system, whose characteristics, as determined by both federal and state policy, affect access to health care. This paper examines those aspects of the Medicaid system which have a disparate impact on women because they are overrepresented in certain social strata, as well as some aspects which affect the ability of both sexes to utilize the health care system. Owing to the problems of women in society, women make up two-thirds of the Medicaid clientele. Thus the burdens created by the limitations of Medicaid are a significant gender issue. Policies regarding AFDC coverage and pregnancy particularly concern younger women, many of whom have problems related to marriage, childbirth, and absence of economic support from fathers which place them at risk for poverty. Regulations as to income and assets of elderly persons requiring long-term care are among the policies that affect older women whose spouses have become disabled. Mandating less restrictive eligibility standards and coverage during transition of Medicaid clients to work would help address the twin problems of inferiority and uncertainty with regard to health care.

摘要:

Research in the last decade has advanced our understanding of menstrual disorders and menopause. Paralleling this research has been both a popular and a scholarly interest in the correlates and consequnces of aerobic exercise. The purpose of this paper is to integrate these two domains on a theoretical and, when possible, an empirical level, and to discuss the potential benefits of exercise in the treatment of menstrual disorders and menopausal symptoms-specifically, dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, hot flasshes, and osteoporosis.
