Abstract Informed by Black feminist thought and intersectionality, Superwoman Schema (SWS) is a construct that captures collective response of women to racial gender marginalization highlighting expectations they exude strength, suppress emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed despite limitations, help others their own self-neglect. Using sample (N = 390) in early-midlife (between 30 46 years old; M 37.54 years; SD 4.29), this study integrates the intersectionality framework stress process...
Life stressors have been linked to cardiovascular risk; however, studies typically focus on that directly impact the individual, is, personal stressors. Research suggests women, particularly African-American may be more vulnerable network involve family members and friends-potentially due norms around needing a "Superwoman." Yet few examined these phenomena.
Objective To compare dimensions of financial hardship and self-reported sleep quality among Black women with versus without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Participants were 402 (50% validated diagnosis SLE) living in Georgia between 2017 2020. SLE recruited from a population-based cohort established Atlanta, to be comparable age the same geographic areas as women. Financial was measured using three different scales: adjustments, setbacks, strain. Sleep assessed continuously...
Early vascular ageing (EVA) contributes to elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which disproportionately affects African American women. Incarceration, an event impacting Americans, may be a stressor contributing EVA in Further, the subjective perspective, commonly referred as appraisal, incarceration also important for health. We hypothesised that having family and/or friends incarcerated and appraising upsetting would associated with indices EVA.
Background African American women bear a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular diseases, potentially due to altered central hemodynamics. Racism and sexism often lead taking on numerous caretaking roles overall increases their use the Strong Black Woman (ie, Superwoman) mindset, which may have negative health consequences. We hypothesized that endorsing Superwoman role its Obligation Help Others dimension would be associated with deleterious hemodynamics profile in women. Methods Results...
Introduction: Stressful life events (SLE) have been associated with poor cardiovascular health but most studies focused on stressors that directly impact the individuals under study, or personal stressors. Research suggests women, particularly African-American may actually be more vulnerable to network (e.g. SLE important others, such as children, spouses and friends). However, few examined this phenomenon. Hypothesis: We tested hypothesis greater exposure network, versus stressors, would...
