Social work students’ intention to work with older adults
Social work students in different countries often exhibit low intention to pursue careers with older adults, raising questions about the potential role of social work education in shaping this intention. This cross-sectional study examined a theoretical model exploring how knowledge about older adults, acquired through coursework and direct contact during fieldwork, relates to students’ self-evaluation of knowledge. It also examined how self-eval…

Maternal Expectations Among Pregnant Women from Single, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Parented families
Little is known about the psychological processes of pregnant women in different family structures. Aiming to fill this gap, the present study examined the prenatal maternal expectations (common cultural beliefs about what women can expect during the transition to motherhood) of women from lesbian ( n = 51), single ( n = 57), and heterosexual ( n = 893) parented families. The results suggest that maternal expectations differ by family structure. …
How do older people discuss their own sexuality? A systematic review of qualitative research studies
Between Expectancy and Experience
Childbirth is a pivotal event for many women, and evidence suggests that women possess strong expectations regarding this experience. In a longitudinal study of 330 Israeli first-time mothers, we distinguished between physical, emotional, and cognitive factors and used them to assess the underlying mechanism of satisfaction, based on theoretical frameworks of stress and control. Women completed questionnaires during pregnancy and two months postp…
Pregnant Women's Recollections of Early Maternal Bonding
Recollections of own maternal care measured by parental bonding were found to be important in the pregnant woman's construction of herself as a mother. Although these recollections were studied with regard to various variables, there is a dearth of studies associated with pregnancy and childbirth. In this cross‐sectional study, 341 pregnant women were recruited. Measures included a Sociodemographics–Obstetric History Questionnaire; the Childbirth…
Religious Coping in Stressful Situations
Religious coping has been found to help people in stressful situations. It takes place within a specific cultural religious/context yet its measurement has not always been adapted to the context of the study population. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure religious coping among religious Jews—a population that has received little research attention—and assess the associations of religious coping strategies with emotional…
Proactive Aging Among Holocaust Survivors
Aging Holocaust survivors tended to focus on more essential/fundamental needs (e.g., health), whereas their peers tended to focus on a wider range of needs (e.g., enjoyment) in their effort to maintain the best possible life. Our findings may add to the proactivity model of successful aging by suggesting that aging individuals in Israel use both proactive (e.g., health) and cognitive (e.g., accepting the present) adaptation methods, regardless of…

Subjective Age and Health in Later Life
PTSS appear to be implicated in the link between health measures and subjective age in later life, pointing to the long-term effect of captivity and war-induced traumatic distress on aging
Ethnicity and Long-term Prognosis After Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: Health disparities are systematic differences in health, favoring members of advantaged over disadvantaged groups in the society. This study examines the contribution of multiple socioeconomic status (SES) measures to ethnic differences in after myocardial infarction (MI) prognosis. METHODS: Patients aged 65 years and younger (n=1040) belonging to Ashkenazi and Mizrahi advantaged and disadvantaged ethnic groups discharged from 8 hospi…
Why does self-rated health predict mortality? An update on current knowledge and a research agenda for psychologists
Role of Socioeconomic Status Measures in Long-term Mortality Risk Prediction After Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: The relationship of risk factors to outcomes has traditionally been assessed by measures of association such as odds ratio or hazard ratio and their statistical significance from an adjusted model. However, a strong, highly significant association does not guarantee a gain in stratification capacity. Using recently developed model performance indices, we evaluated the incremental discriminatory power of individual and neighborhood soc…
Trajectories of Self-Rated Health Among Veterans
OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of combat stress reaction (CSR) and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS) on the level and trajectories of self-rated health (SRH) over 20 years after war exposure. METHODS: A total of 675 veterans comprising two groups, a CSR group (n = 369) and a matched control group without CSR (n = 306), were assessed in a prospective longitudinal design, 1, 2, 3, and 20 years after their participation in the 1982 Lebanon War…
Social Workers' and Service Users' Causal Attributions for Poverty
Poverty and its etiology have been major subjects of concern for the social work profession throughout its history. This study focused on four causal attributions for poverty: social-structural, motivational, psychological, and fatalistic. More specifically, it examined the differences between social workers' and service users' perceptions of the causes of poverty. Participants were 401 service users and 410 social workers located in a variety of…
Prognostic Importance and Long-Term Determinants of Self-Rated Health After Initial Acute Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: Self-rated health (SRH) is a valid measure of health and its trajectories over time have been found to predict mortality. A better understanding of the determinants of changes in SRH is required, particularly post-myocardial infarction (MI), where rapid changes in health may occur. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic importance of SRH and the determinants of its long-term trajectory in patients with MI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Betwee…
Cultural and Educational Disparities in the Use of Primary and Preventive Health Care Services Among Midlife Women in Israel
The Experience of Miscarriage in First Pregnancy
The study is a qualitative analysis of 19 interviews with Israeli women who have lost a first pregnancy to miscarriage. Neither the public nor health care professionals are fully aware of the implications and significance of miscarriage to the woman who has lost the pregnancy. The goal of this study was to understand and give voice to the women's experience. Five themes were revealed--the greater the joy, the more painful the crash; the nature an…
Combat stress reactions, posttraumatic stress disorder, cumulative life stress, and physical health among Israeli veterans twenty years after exposure to combat
The Effect of a Communal Lifestyle on Depressive Symptoms in Late Life
Both lifetime and current living conditions contribute to better mental health of women in the kibbutz at older ages
Self-rated oral health as an independent predictor of self-rated general health, self-esteem and life satisfaction
Gender Differences in the Self-Rated Health-Mortality Association
PURPOSE: This study investigates gender differences in the association between self-rated health (SRH) and mortality. This association has been well-documented, but findings regarding gender differences are inconsistent. The specific objectives were (a) to examine these differences in a short and a long time frame, (b) to examine these differences among old and old-old people, and (c) to address the question of whether this association is based o…
Elderly people's ratings of the importance of health-related factors to their self-assessments of health
Gender Differences in Processing Information for Making Self-Assessments of Health
OBJECTIVE: This study proposes that women's greater inclusiveness of various sources of information when making self-assessed health (SAH) judgments accounts for the finding that SAH is a weaker predictor of mortality in women than in men. METHODS: Data from a sample of 830 elderly residents of a retirement community and a 5-year mortality follow-up study were used to examine the bases for women's and men's reports of negative affect (NA) and jud…
Positive Affect and Function as Influences on Self-Assessments of Health
Longitudinal data from 851 elderly residents of a retirement community ( \(\mathrm{mean\ age\ }\mathbf{=}\ 73\ \mathrm{years}\) ) were used to examine the correlates of self-assessments of health (SAH) and the predictors of changes in SAH over several follow-up periods ranging from 1 to 5 years. The authors hypothesized that indicators of positive health, including feelings of energy and positive mood, social support, and active functioning, are …

Self-Rated Health and Mortality
We examine the growing number of studies of survey respondents' global self-ratings of health as predictors of mortality in longitudinal studies of representative community samples. Twenty-seven studies in U.S. and international journals show impressively consistent findings. Global self-rated health is an independent predictor of mortality in nearly all of the studies, despite the inclusion of numerous specific health status indicators and other…
Self-Assessments of Health
Factors reflecting current experience—for example, number of medications used, poor function, negative affects, and positive affect—had stronger associations with self-assessments of health (SAH) than factors related to prior events (medical history, prior smoking) in baseline data from 830 elderly retirement-community residents (mean age = 73). Participants appear to have implicit knowledge of the factors affecting their SAH: The rank order of t…
