To examine the probability of a high sense of mastery in a population-representative sample of working-age people and to study the differences in mastery between Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking Finns in particular.
The data originates from the Western Finland Mental Health Surveys (2008-2014). Associations between sense of mastery and language groups were analyzed with logistic regressions.
Swedish-speaking Finns have a higher sense of mastery and the association is mediated by social support. Moreover, a difference in a high sense of mastery is found between Swedish- and Finnish-speaking married women that are outside the labor market.
Our findings imply that Finnish-speaking women that are outside the labor market, e.g. on maternity leave or taking care of the household, should be recognized in health and social care services as a group that can benefit from additional support.
在具有人口代表性的工作年龄人群样本中考察高度掌控感的概率，尤其研究讲芬兰语和讲瑞典语的芬兰人在掌控感方面的差异。
数据源自西芬兰心理健康调查（2008 - 2014年）。使用逻辑回归分析掌控感与语言群体之间的关联。
讲瑞典语的芬兰人有更高的掌控感，且这种关联由社会支持介导。此外，在劳动力市场之外的讲瑞典语和讲芬兰语的已婚女性之间，在高度掌控感方面存在差异。
我们的研究结果表明，劳动力市场之外的讲芬兰语的女性，例如休产假或照顾家庭的女性，在健康和社会护理服务中应被视为一个可从额外支持中受益的群体。
