Validating the Model of Lifestyle Balance on a Working Swedish Population
An analysis of data from a previously conducted grounded theory study exploring perceptions of life balance among 19 working adults without recent long term sick leave was carried out. The aim of this secondary analysis was to use these perceptions of life balance to validate the Model of Lifestyle Balance proposed by Matuska and Christiansen. For the validation, a matrix was used. The results showed that Matuska and Christiansen's five need-base…
How life balance is perceived by Swedish women recovering from a stress‐related disorder

The purpose of the first analysis phase was to gain insights about the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes about lifestyle balance of 19 women who were recovering from stress‐related disorders.

Workaholism, life balance, and well‐being
This is a discussion of two major concepts common in the popular parlance; workaholism and life balance. Related research and assumptions underlying each are presented along with a discussion of how the two concepts relate to each other and to well‐being. This review finds that workaholism can be described as a form of life imbalance when viewed from several different theoretical perspectives. Although workaholism and life balance concepts are wi…
Lifestyle balance
This phenomenological study used focus groups to explore the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes about lifestyle balance of 13 women with multiple sclerosis. The analysis was in two phases, the first used grounded theory methods that generated categories and sub‐themes and the second used a matrix analysis that cross‐referenced the findings with the 5 dimensions of Matuska and Christiansen's (2008) model of lifestyle balance. Results from the…
A proposed model of lifestyle balance
The concept of lifestyle balance seems to have widespread acceptance in the popular press. The notion that certain lifestyle configurations might lend to better health, higher levels of life satisfaction and general well‐being is readily endorsed. However, the concept has not been given significant attention in the social and behavioral sciences literature and, as a result, lacks empirical support, and an agreed upon definition. This article pres…
Lifestyle Balance
The perceived stress of time‐pressures related to modern life in Western nations has heightened public interest in how lifestyles can be balanced. Conditions of apparent imbalance, such as workaholism, burnout, insomnia, obesity and circadian desynchronosis, are ubiquitous and have been linked to adverse health consequences. Despite this, little research has been devoted to the study of healthy lifestyle patterns. This paper traces the concept of…
