Por qué la gente trabaja tras la edad de jubilación: La continuidad de rutinas, imaginarios de futuro y evaluaciones prácticas
En este artículo hacemos una síntesis de la evidencia cualitativa publicada en inglés con el fin de comprender por qué las personas que trabajan continúan haciéndolo después de la edad de jubilación, vinculando la agencia humana y las estructuras sociales en el proceso de toma de decisiones que está detrás de estas elecciones ocupacionales. El estudio fue motivado por la creciente atención que viene recibiendo la prolongación de la vida laboral p…
Why people work past retirement age: The continuity of routines, future imaginaries, and practical evaluation
In this article, we synthesise existing qualitative evidence published in English, aiming to comprehend why workers keep working past retirement age and to link human agency and social structures in the decision-making process behind such occupational choices. The study was prompted by the growing attention that later-life working has been garnering from policymakers and academics in the context of aging societies. Drawing upon agency and meaning…
From Public Culture to Personal Worth: A Sociological Inquiry into the Cultural Roots of Suicide
In this article, I think through the role of culture in making individuals vulnerable to suicide. I examine the relationship between public culture - embedded in and (re)produced through social institutions - and declarative and nondeclarative personal culture, as well as circumstances under which this relationship can engender suicidal distress. Orders of worth, dominant within public culture and integrated by individuals, are argued to influenc…
Pharmaceutical Neuroenhancement in the Quest for Worth at Work
This article examines the use of psychoactive substances for cognitive enhancement in the context of work. By drawing upon existing qualitative research and sociological theories on meaningful work, valuation, and human agency, I explore cultural and institutional processes encouraging individuals to engage in such practices and argue that pharmaceutical neuroenhancement aids them in navigating contemporary workplaces characterized by increasingl…
Class or individual habitus ? Willingness to spend more on reconciliation policies in Europe
Purpose Public willingness to pay for extra public benefits and services may demonstrate a tension between the common good (more services) and economic motives (higher taxes for all). In this article, the authors present an analysis of this trade-off by drawing upon the Bourdieusian theory of social reproduction and habitus . Design/methodology/approach Employing the European Social Survey (2016), the authors first examine the patterns of relatio…
The vicious cycle of distrust: Access, quality, and efficiency within a post-communist mental health system
Trust -a critical mechanism to manage vulnerability amidst uncertainty- may greatly influence healthcare practices, and consequently, its objectives. Building upon the work of Jürgen Habermas and the framework of trust chains, the aim of this article is to unpack how trust dynamics between the state, the provider, and the service user shape the functioning of mental healthcare in one of the former Soviet states -Lithuania. The case is of interest…
Why (not) suicide: Habitus in hysteresis and the space of possibles
Sociological theory on the phenomenon of suicide continues to rely heavily upon the Durkheimian perspective. While such accounts are valuable additions to the field, engagement with alternative theoretical traditions may likewise be stimulating and provide distinct concepts to delve into the issue. This article contributes to expanding sociological understanding of suicide by drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu's theory, a relatively untapped resource i…
The almighty pill and the blessed healthcare provider’: Medicalisation of mental distress from an Eliasian perspective
Power dynamics of the healthcare field: Seeking mental care in Lithuania
Over the course of the last decades, the post-socialist societies have been enduring high levels of mental distress, while reporting relatively low treatment rates, which suggests a considerable treatment gap and delay. This article examines how the design and functioning of the mental healthcare system and, particularly, the structure of its inner power relations influences mental healthcare seeking in Lithuania. Employing the theoretical stance…
Access Compromised? The Impact of Healthcare Reforms under Austerity in Lithuania and Spain
Using an interpretative comparison in search for cross-case similarities and differences, we examine the evolution of equity of access to healthcare during the economic crisis in two potentially vulnerable Eastern and Southern European countries – Lithuania and Spain. While the type of healthcare system may have shown higher resilience, i.e. equity of access to care during the crisis should have been affected more in Lithuania – a relatively imma…
What, where, and how: Drivers of welfare attitudes toward work-family reconciliation policies in South European societies
With increasing female labour market participation, welfare states in Europe have aimed to reorient their policies in order to face a newly emerging social risk – difficulties to combine work and family roles. Yet, they differ in the extent of this adaptation, which has been associated with multiple factors including the influence of cultural values or ideas towards care. In this article, we employ the European Social Survey (Round 8) to examine …
Under- or Overtreatment of Mental Distress? Practices, Consequences, and Resistance in the Field of Mental Health Care
The economic, social, and health costs of mental distress are increasingly burdening individuals and societies in Europe. Yet, overmedicalization of mild symptoms is also well documented. This accumulates in more pressures and demands on health care systems. In this article, I explore how the process of help seeking in mental distress might be shaped by health system design and functioning in one of the South European societies-Spain. Employing B…
Women are tired and men are in pain: Genderedhabitusand mental healthcare utilization in Spain
Beyond differences in need, the gender gap in mental health might also be attributed to differential help-seeking practices between women and men. Employing Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology, the aim of this article is to interpret how gender influences healthcare seeking and utilization in common mental disorders such as depression or anxiety in Spain. Through thematic analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with healthcare providers and users of se…
Shame in a post-socialist society: A Qualitative Study of Healthcare Seeking and Utilisation in Common Mental Disorders
After the regime collapse, the former socialist societies in Central and Eastern Europe experienced rapid social and economic transformations. Consequently, mental health deterioration coupled with ambitions to break with the past triggered reforms of mental health systems. Yet, 30 years later, mental health in the region remains poor. Stigma of mental illness may be one of the factors that delays help seeking and, therefore, maintains status quo…
Bourdieu’s theory of fields: Towards understanding help-seeking practices in mental distress
Understanding Help-Seeking Behavior in Depression: A Qualitative Synthesis of Patients’ Experiences
Despite decades of evidence-based interventions, depression remains a great challenge for public health due to enormous treatment gap and lag which, at least partially, result from low professional help-seeking by people suffering from depressive symptoms. In this article, we aim to gain a better understanding of help-seeking behavior in depression, and how to intervene effectively decreasing treatment gap and delay by using a meta-ethnography ap…
