Item Relationships between diet quality, food satisfaction and life satisfaction in mother-adolescent dyadsAutores: Schnettler, Berta; Miranda-Zapata, Edgardo; Orellana, Ligia; Lobos Andrade, Germán; Del Carmen Lapo, María; Adasme Berrios, Cristian; Grunert, Klaus G.This study examined the relationships between diet quality, satisfaction with f ood-related life and life satisfaction in mother-adolescent dyads. The sample consisted of 470 mother-adolescent dyads in Temuco, Chile. Mothers and adolescents responded to the Adapted healthy Eating Index, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Satisfaction with Food-related Life scale. Data was analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Diet quality was associated with satisfaction with food-related life, which related to life satisfaction in mothers and adolescents. We did not find direct relationships between diet quality and life satisfaction for either dyad member. Adolescents' diet quality negatively affected their mothers' satisfaction with food-related life; adolescents' food-related life was positively associated with their mothers' life satisfaction. The mothers' satisfaction with food-related life played a mediating role between their own diet quality and life satisfaction. Mothers and their adolescent children affect one another in their dietary patterns and life satisfaction. Child-to-mother influences on food-related experiences show that adolescents' satisfaction with food-related life improves their own and their mothers' life satisfaction. Interventions to promote healthy eating habits must he addressed to both mothers and their adolescent children.Item Financial distress/well-being and living situation in Ecuadorian health workersAutores: Lobos Andrade, Germán; Schnettler, Berta; Lapo, Carmen; Nuñez, María; Vera, LauraThe tendency to live alone is a relatively recent phenomenon in Ecuador, but it is expanding rapidly. This study aims to identify factors associated with financial distress/well-being according to living situation (living alone vs. living with a partner) in Ecuadorian health workers. This study examined the construct of financial distress/well-being in a sample of 800 Ecuadorian health workers using cross-sectional data. Living situation was compared using generalized linear model analyses including income, age, children living at home, self-perception of health, depression, anxiety and stress, perceived social support, positive mental health, and hedonistic and austere profiles. Regarding financial well-being, workers living alone ranked lower and workers living with a partner ranked higher. In workers living alone the main sources of financial distress/well-being were income, children living at home, perceived social support, positive mental health, and hedonistic attitude towards indebtedness. In workers living with a partner the main sources of financial distress/well-being were income, age, self-perception of health, depression, anxiety and stress, perceived social support, positive mental health, and austere attitude towards indebtedness. Based on our results, we discuss potential public policy interventions that can be used to improve workers' financial well-being.Item Spillover-crossover effects for satisfaction with food-related life in dual-earner parents with adolescent childrenAutores: Schnettler, Berta; Miranda-Zapata, Edgardo; Orellana, Ligia; Lobos Andrade, Germán; Del Carmen Lapo, María; Adasme-Berrios, Cristian; Hueche, ClementinaThis study aimed to examine spillover and crossover associations between parents' family support, work-life balance, and satisfaction with food-related life in dual-earner parents with adolescent children. The mediating role of work-life balance in these relationships was also explored. This is a cross-sectional study with mothers, fathers and adolescent children from Temuco, Chile as participants. The sample comprised 303 families of different-sex dual-earner parents with adolescent children (mean age 13.3, 51.5% female). The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used to examine spillover (actor effects) and crossover (partner effects) associations between family members. Positive spillover effects were found for both parents (p < 0.001). Crossover effects were found from fathers' support and work-life balance, respectively, to mothers' work-life balance and satisfaction with food-related life (p < 0.001). No crossover effects were found between parents' work-life balance and their children's satisfaction with food-related life (p > 0.1). Work-life balance had a complete mediating role between parents' family support and satisfaction with food-related life in mothers (bias-corrected, 95%CI: 0.191; 0.093), and a partial role in fathers (bias-corrected, 95%CI: 0.007, 0.295). Spillover and crossover effects between parents' family support and work-life balance in dual-earner parents are associated with increased satisfaction with food-related life. Interventions to promote food-related life satisfaction in dual-earner parents should address both the work and other life roles that these parents fulfill.
