Pathways linking the built environment and loneliness
It is increasingly recognised that the built environment influences the experience of loneliness, but the pathways linking them built environment and loneliness are not sufficiently understood. Addressing this gap is crucial for developing inclusive policies and guiding the planning and design of built environment interventions aimed at reducing loneliness. This scoping review and conceptual synthesis aimed to advance understanding of these pathw…

Factors supporting resilience during out‐of‐home care
This study aimed to identify factors supporting young people's resilience during out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Finland, despite challenges in their lives. In our qualitative study, we applied a social‐ecological framework to understand the experiences and perspectives of young people on what helped them and the help they would have needed during OOHC. The findings indicate (1) individual characteristics and interests (positive attitude, understandin…
Elements of Communication Competence in Encountering Traumatized Adolescents in Substitute Care
Adolescents who need both child welfare services and mental health interventions have usually experienced various traumatic events in their early lifespan. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements of communication that can either empower traumatized adolescents in their rehabilitation process or become an obstacle in their recovery. The data consist of interviews of 19 young adults with a substitute care background. Their experiences…
Change in sense of coherence mediates the association between economic recession and mortality among middle-aged men
A financial recession has been associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality, but little is known about how psychosocial fluctuations in stress tolerance or orientation to life affect this association. Sense of Coherence (SOC) is a core construct in the Salutogenic Model of Health and is determined by generalized resistance resources and measures one's orientation to life by comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. We followed th…
