Insight into quality of life: Understanding the experience of patients with cancer in southern Brazil's public healthcare system.

e23223 Background: This study explores the quality of life of individuals undergoing cancer treatment in the southern region of Brazil within the public healthcare system. Recognizing the potential negative impacts of both the disease and its treatment on patients' well-being, there is a pressing need to comprehensively assess their quality of life. The study aims to understand the challenges faced by these individuals in various well-being dimensions. Methods: Data collection occurred from August 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (Opinion Number: 6,136,833). Quality of life was assessed using the Brazilian version of the Medical Outcome Survey Short-Form 36 (SF-36), a validated instrument comprising 11 questions. Inclusion criteria included individuals over 18, of any gender, residing in the southern region if the state of Espirito Santo, diagnosed with cancer, and receiving treatment at the public healthcare reference oncology center. Exclusion criteria encompassed those under 18, non-residents of southern region, lacking a cancer diagnosis and undergoing oncohematological treatments. Among 263 eligible participants, 21 were excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria and 16 invited individuals chose not to participate, resulting in a final sample of 226 individuals. Results: The composition of the participant pool comprised 71.6% women and 28.4% men. The evaluation of quality of life utilized the SF-36 instrument, which explores various domains: Functional Capacity, Limitation due to Physical Aspects, Pain, General Health Status, Vitality, Social Aspects, Emotional Aspects, and Mental Health.Functional Capacity saw 44.20% facing significant difficulties, 32.80% experiencing mild difficulties, and 23% reporting no hindrance in daily activities. Physical limitations due to cancer treatment were reported by 61%, while 39% did not face such limitations. Most patients experienced some level of pain; only 24.20% were pain-free. General Health Status varied from excellent (9.10%) to very bad (2%). Vitality fluctuated, with 31% reporting vitality all the time. Regarding the social dimension, most individuals experience interference, while only 37% report no impact.Emotional aspects interfered with daily life for 59% of participants. Conclusions: This research indicates that both physical and emotional aspects are significantly affected in cancer patients from southern Espírito Santo. While physical limitations and pain are prevalent, emotional aspects, including manifestations of anxiety and depression, also play a substantial role in influencing daily life. Understanding these dimensions is vital for developing targeted interventions, especially for vulnerable individuals relying on Brazil's public healthcare system, to enhance the quality of life during cancer treatment.

Piloting “From the Inside Out” — a toolkit addressing tuberculosis-related self-stigma

BackgroundSelf-stigma among people who have tuberculosis (TB) can contribute to non-adherence to medication and disengagement from care. It can manifest in feelings of worthlessness, shame, and guilt, leading to social withdrawal and disengagement from life opportunities. Self-stigma may also affect families of those who have TB, or healthcare workers who treat them. However, few interventions addressing TB self-stigma exist to date.MethodsWe piloted the delivery of a toolkit of psychosocial interventions using a “training-of-trainers” approach with six staff members of a TB-focused NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) and partner organisations in Jakarta, Indonesia. These trainers could then disseminate the toolkit among community partner organisations. Local staff involvement throughout the study supported translation and adaptation to enhance cultural and language appropriateness. Over a 2-day training-of-trainers workshop, the NGO staff were familiarised with the mode of delivery of the toolkit, which they then delivered via a four-day participatory workshop with 22 people who have TB/TB survivors, who were representatives of partner organisations working among communities affected by TB.ResultsThe newly-trained local facilitators delivered the toolkit to the participants, who self-reported significant increases in knowledge and efficacy around TB self-stigma post-intervention compared to baseline (Z = 1.991, p = 0.047, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). The participants’ levels of self-compassion were also significantly higher post-workshop (Z = 2.096, p = 0.036, Wilcoxon signed-rank test); however, these effects were not maintained at 3-month timepoint. There was also a significant increase post-workshop in one of the participants’ Ryff dimensions of psychological wellbeing, that of positive relationships with others (Z = 2.509, p = 0.012, Wilcoxon signed-rank test) but this was also not maintained at the 3-month timepoint.ConclusionsThe observed changes in recipients’ self-reported levels of knowledge and efficacy, self-compassion, and psychological wellbeing may warrant further investigation into the best modalities for toolkit delivery (frequency, dose, duration) and support for individuals as they progress through the TB treatment journey.

Assessing Weekly Wellness Sessions: Cordillera Administrative Region's Social Welfare Impact

This literature review examines the efficacy of workplace wellness initiatives, focusing on the Weekly Wellness Sessions (WWS) conducted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Cordillera Administrative Region. The study evaluates staff participation rates, the effectiveness of wellness programs, and challenges encountered in availing the WWS. Primary and secondary sources materials were used in the analysis of this literature review. Casual observations were also integrated. Findings reveal coffee sessions as the most popular activity, while limited facilities and costs hindered participation in other activities. The WWS were perceived as highly effective across multiple dimensions of well-being, with minimal variation based on gender or age. However, differences in effectiveness were noted among different positions and offices/divisions. Common challenges included time constraints, financial limitations, and personal barriers. Recommendations include enhancing financial accessibility, tailoring interventions, offering flexible scheduling, promoting awareness, and cultivating a culture of health and wellness. Addressing these recommendations can optimize the impact of the WWS and contribute to a healthier, more productive workforce within DSWD FO CAR.

The association between problematic internet use and hedonic and eudaimonic well-being: A latent profile analysis

Problematic internet use (PIU) has become a public health concern globally and there are now many published studies examining the issue, particularly in relation to wellbeing. However most previous studies on the relationship between PIU and well-being have been conducted using a variable-cantered approach with either indicators of ill-being (depression, stress, anxiety, loneliness), or only one dimension of well-being (happiness or life satisfaction). Therefore, the present study aimed to address this research gap by investigating the distinct dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being simultaneously as outcomes of PIU latent profiles, as well as sociodemographic variables and stress as antecedents. The profile indicators were items of the Internet Disorder Scale. Data were collected from 1202 participants (516 males), aged 19–59 years (M = 29.24 years, SD ± 9.40). The results showed that four latent profiles emerged: ‘Low risk of PIU’ (56.4 %), ‘Medium risk of PIU with moderately-high psychosocial impairments’ (9.1 %), ‘Medium risk of PIU with poor internet-related self-control’ (27.4 %), and ‘High-risk of PIU’ (7.1 %). Both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being were outcomes of PIU profiles. The participants from the high-risk profile of PIU had the lowest levels on both dimension of well-being. The addiction criteria with the highest scores in the high-risk of PIU profile were preoccupation, mood modification, and jeopardizing social relationship or job opportunities. Age and stress were significant antecedents of PIU latent profile membership. Knowing the addiction criteria with highest values in the PIU high-risk profile can be a basis for developing tailored treatments for maladaptive internet use. Moreover, hedonic and eudaimonic well-being measures could be used to assess therapeutic progress.

How many friends at work are too many? The nonlinear association between the number of friends, social support and mental well-being

PurposeWe grounded this study in the Too-Much-of-a-Good-Thing (TMGT) meta-theoretical framework to disentangle the costs and benefits associated with workplace friendship in a military setting.Design/methodology/approachWe collected data cross-sectionally through self-reports from 287 employees from the Romanian Air Force.FindingsThe number of friends had an inverted U-shaped association with perceived social support. Our results show that as the number of friends increases from 9 to 10, so does the social support. However, as the number of friends further increases above 10, social support tends to decrease rather than increase. Furthermore, we found that social support and all dimensions of mental well-being (emotional, social and psychological well-being) were positively associated. Moreover, social support mediated the relationship between the number of friends and the three dimensions of mental well-being.Research limitations/implicationsOur findings can help human resources policies in military organizations foster an organizational climate that cultivates friendship ties between employees, which is crucial for their social support and overall mental well-being.Originality/valueThis work provides additional information about the specific mechanisms through which the effects of workplace friendships on mental well-being occur.

Imprinting and Workplace Well-Being among Generation Z Hotel Employees

This study investigated the dynamic imprinting processes that shape Generation Z hotel employees’ workplace well-being. An integrated research framework was built based on the insights of imprinting theory and positive psychology. Photo-elicitation interviews and narrative analysis were used as the key research techniques. Findings illuminate the dynamic processes of imprinting among Generation Z hotel employees, encompassing the formation, evolution, and outcomes of imprints which are originated from the employees’ childhood and adolescence. Six dimensions of workplace well-being, including self-drive, personalization, responsibility, tolerance, realization, and identification, are identified. The multi-dimensional workplace well-being emerges through the ongoing melting, regeneration, and manifestation of different kinds of imprints. This study offers theoretical contributions to imprinting theory, positive psychology, and employees’ wellbeing research. Practical implications are provided to attract and motivate young employees in the hotel industry.

Well Being among Post Graduate Students using the Ryff Scale

Well being has become a matter of concern with many experts in the field of mental health. Research has brought to light a need to understand well being from multiple perspectives such as physical, spiritual,social, occupational, emotional,psychological, professional and financial as well as across age groups and gender.The present study aims at finding correlations between psychological well-being among female postgraduate students pursuing different specialisations(Management, Home Science and Clinical Psychology) as well as within each group. Purposive sampling technique has been used for data collection from two universities, over a time period of 3-4 weeks ,where a total sample of 90 postgraduate students were administered the Ryff scale out of which data of 74 students has been analysed. Findings were calculated using ANOVA and TUKEY tests suggesting that age as a variable showed a negative correlation with well being clearly emphasising that female post graduate students from higher age groups had lower perception of well being. Another finding on sub scale indicated that Personal Growth(PG) is the only dimension for well-being that was found to have a p value less than 0.05,indicating a significant difference in personal growth among Management and Clinical psychology students but not Home science students. Well being programme can help identify reasons for low perception of well being and also enhance other dimensions on the scale as a support towards a positive and holistic well being. Students are important contributors towards the progress of any society and change makers for the future.Conducting well being programmes can help the students enhance various domains of well being over a period of time , along with guidance and support from the education community.

Does a community soccer program promote health-related quality of life in socially vulnerable Brazilian adolescents?

ABSTRACT Rationale: Understanding the impact of different sport initiatives on young people from socially vulnerable backgrounds is important. However, there remains a paucity of quantitative research on the quality of life of this group. Method: This study employed an ex post facto observational design to provide data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from socially vulnerable Brazilian adolescents enrolled in a community soccer program (“Union Project”). Male soccer players (n = 26, 2x/week for 6 months in the soccer program) and non-players (n = 26, no participation in sports program) were included in the study. Participants answered a form about sociodemographic data and health-related quality of life perception (KIDSCREEN-27). Differences in HRQoL between players and non-players were verified by the independent t test and the effect size was estimated (Cohen’s d). Findings: Except for the School Environment dimension, soccer players presented statistically higher scores of HRQoL in comparison to non-players (P < 0.05). The Physical Well-Being dimension (d = 1.9) and the total HRQoL (d = 1.4) showed large effects in favor of the soccer player group. Research contribution: The Union Project seems to have the potential to improve the HRQoL of socially vulnerable adolescents, in which soccer players showed better scores on almost all dimensions of HRQoL compared to their peers.

Strengthening the European Semester to Achieve Economies of Wellbeing.

The environmental crisis, growing levels of social inequalities and rising levels of noncommunicable diseases are all symptoms of economic systems that are failing to generate wellbeing. There is increasing support for the notion that addressing these crises requires shifting the focus from economic growth to a broader range of measures that reflect wellbeing, through more comprehensive, consistent and integrated policy approaches to deliver this. In 2019, the EU Finnish Council Presidency Council Conclusions called amongst other things for the development of a new long-term, post-2020 strategy to provide the framework for horizontal assessment and cross-sectoral collaboration, in particular through the European Semester process. This article contextualises this call and explores its follow-up. It draws from key policy documents to explore what Economies of Wellbeing are, why and how the concept has emerged and how they can be put in place. It then explores to what extent this concept is being applied at the EU level, by tracking changes in some of the EU's key policies and strategies over the past 10 years and in the Semester process, as a mechanism to implement them. It concludes that while progress towards more comprehensive, consistent and integrated policy approaches has been made in the context of the Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy, underpinning the Semester processes, it is limited by the continuing emphasis on economic, over other policy, areas. It also argues that the process needs to be broadened even further, to include other dimensions of wellbeing, which intersect with the economy and impact wellbeing. To strengthen the European Semester process to achieve Economies of Wellbeing, it should be put at the service of an even more consistent and comprehensive EU Strategy that enables policy sectors to deliver wellbeing objectives in a more integrated and coordinated manner. This paper ends with recommendations for action.

Planning for Urban Sustainability through Residents’ Wellbeing: The Effects of Nature Interactions, Social Capital, and Socio-Demographic Factors

The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity to examine how varied environmental and social factors in urban environments affect human wellbeing, which is an important dimension of urban sustainability. Past research has focused on individual dimensions of health and isolated nature interactions, limiting knowledge about how different environmental and social factors affect distinct aspects of residents’ wellbeing. Through quantitative analyses of social survey and environmental data in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona (USA), we explored how distinct nature recreation activities—along with nature satisfaction and social capital—affected residents’ subjective, mental, and physical wellbeing across diverse neighborhoods during the COVID-19 pandemic, controlling for socio-demographics. Results reveal how distinct drivers shape different dimensions of wellbeing. Perceived social and environmental attributes of neighborhoods and proximity to nature preserves were associated with subjective wellbeing, while park visitation was linked to physical health. Nature interactions largely were unrelated to mental health. Changes in nature recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact any dimension of wellbeing. Our research suggests that multiple local environmental and social features should be considered when designing healthy communities for urban sustainability.

Examining the Intersection of Sociopolitical Development and Transformative Social and Emotional Learning Outcomes: An Integrated Approach in Youth Participatory Action Research

Young people need opportunities that support their well-being while enabling them to take meaningful action. There has been strong interest in youth participatory action research (YPAR) as a form of sociopolitical action for marginalized youth seeking to address inequities that undermine individual and community well-being. The rapid growth of the YPAR literature in the last decade has involved studies analyzing the impact of YPAR on dimensions of youth empowerment, sociopolitical development (SPD), and well-being. The relatively new framework of Transformative Social Emotional Learning (tSEL) is potentially fruitful in identifying relevant constructs, skills, and strategies to support well-being during the YPAR process. This article seeks to advance our integrative conceptualization and analysis of the impact of YPAR by (1) considering the overlapping and unique dimensions of SPD and tSEL: agency, belonging, collaborative problem solving, curiosity, identity, societal involvement, and worldview and social analysis; and (2) applying this integrative lens to the analysis of novel data from an updated systematic review of U.S. and international YPAR studies (2015–2022). We summarize youth outcomes reported in 25 studies to assess the evidence for YPAR as an approach for promoting youth SPD and tSEL outcomes, identifying limitations and next steps for advancing our understanding of these impacts.

Well-Being and Perfectionism: Assessing the Mediational Role of Self-Compassion in Emerging Adults.

The study explores how different dimensions of perfectionism influence psychological well-being (PWB) in emerging adults. Literature has deepened the relationships between maladaptive perfectionism (e.g., excessive self-criticism, perceived discrepancy from the standards) and low PWB. Less is known about whether and how adaptive perfectionism (e.g., pursuing personal standards) relates to PWB. Secondly, the study has investigated whether self-compassion (i.e., self-benevolence, seeing personal imperfections as a common condition) may mediate the relationships between adaptive/maladaptive perfectionism and PWB. Participants (N = 217, 18-35 y. o.) completed self-report questionnaires measuring: adaptive/maladaptive perfectionism (Almost Perfect Scale-Revised, APS-R: high standards and order/discrepancy, respectively), PWB, and self-compassion (SCS). Adaptive perfectionism was associated with PWB, particularly a higher presence of purpose in life, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Conversely, discrepancy resulted in the most robust predictor of low PWB (β = -0.68), followed by high standards with a positive direction (β = 0.23; Rc2 = 0.514, p < 0.001). A strong negative association emerged between discrepancy and SCS (r = -0.67, p < 0.001). A mediation analysis shows that self-compassion has an indirect effect, reducing the strength of the relationship between discrepancy and low PWB. Results suggest focusing on self-compassion as a buffer factor that reduces the negative impact of maladaptive perfectionism on psychological well-being. Implications for education and health psychology are discussed.

Physical and mental wellbeing, teaching efficacy and school connectedness—A study with preschool teachers in Portugal

This article aims to investigate correlations between physical and mental wellbeing, teaching efficacy and school connectedness and to explore the relationship between those dimensions and sociodemographic variables such as age, teaching experience, academic qualifications, education sector, and geographical regions. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was applied to 450 preschool teachers. To assess physical and mental wellbeing the PISA 2020 teacher questionnaire was used, and to evaluate teaching efficacy and school connectedness the Subjective Teacher Wellbeing Questionnaire was applied. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables. The reliability, internal consistency and suitability of the data for factor analysis. were assessed for each of the questionnaires. The ANOVA test and Kruskal–Wallis’s test were used to identify significant differences between the dimensions under analysis and sociodemographic variables. The results show that school connectedness is positively related to teaching efficacy and the same positive association occurs between physical and mental wellbeing. A negative association is observed between school connectedness and physical and mental wellbeing and teaching efficacy and physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing. The results also indicate that older preschool teachers and those with more years of experience had a significantly higher score in teaching efficacy than their younger and less experienced counterparts. The preschool teachers from the Porto and North Regions of Portugal had significantly higher scores in the mental wellbeing dimension when compared with their colleagues from other regions of the country.

The effectiveness of well-being-oriented human resource management in the context of telework

Organizations can support employee well-being through a wide variety of HRM practices, which can be summarized as well-being-oriented HRM (WBHRM). It is unclear, however, whether these practices can also foster the well-being of teleworkers. Indeed, due to reduced visibility and salience, it is likely that WBHRM is less or even not effective in the telework context. To prove this assumption, we analyze how strong specific domains of WBHRM are related to different dimensions of employee well-being (including happiness, health, and relational well-being) in a non-telework and telework context. In the telework context, we also analyze the moderating role of telework intensity. Our analyses are based on data from 1,980 German employees at two consecutive points in time. Our findings reveal that the overall relationship between WBHRM and employee well-being in terms of happiness (engagement, job satisfaction) and health (strain) is not weakened in the context of telework. Nevertheless, we found differences in the importance of specific domains to foster happiness and health well-being. In terms of relational well-being, we found that WBHRM is positively related to social isolation in the telework and non-telework context (which is counterintuitive). We did not find support for any moderating effect through telework intensity.

The Impact of the Great Recession on Well-Being across Europe Ten Years On: A Cluster Analysis

To evaluate variations in the well-being dimensions of European citizens, we rely upon Principal Component Analysis methodology, whereby a large set of interrelated indicators are reduced to a small number of aggregate synthetic variables. We find that the 2008 crisis impinged differently on the various dimensions of well-being. The evolution of the indicators has affected different clusters of countries in various ways. Most importantly, we observe that there has been a shift of the principal component from the poor in terms of material deprivation to the risk of poverty for the worsening conditions in the labor market.

Healthy Minds Index: A brief measure of the core dimensions of well-being.

We developed a self-report measure of psychological well-being for teens and adults, the Healthy Minds Index, based on a novel theory that four trainable pillars underlie well-being: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. Ninety-seven items were developed and revised by experts and guided by qualitative testing with teens (n = 32; average age = 16.0 years). After assessing the internal validity and factor structure in teens (n = 1607; average age = 16.7 years) and adults (n = 420; average age = 45.6 years), we reduced the survey to 17 items. We then validated the factor structure, internal and convergent and divergent validity, and retest reliability of the 17-item Healthy Minds Index in two new teen samples (study 1: n = 1492, average age = 15.7 years; study 2: n = 295, average age = 16.1 years), and one adult sample (n = 285; average age = 45.3 years). The Healthy Minds Index demonstrated adequate validity and provided a comprehensive measure of a novel theory of psychological well-being that includes two domains not found in other conceptualizations of this construct-awareness and insight. This measure will be invaluable for primary research on well-being and as a translational tool to assess the impact and efficacy of widely used behavioral training programs on these core dimensions of wellbeing.

Creating energy poverty by an anti-energy poverty policy? An analysis of the impact of the “coal-to-gas” policy in Northern China

The recent “coal-to-gas" (CTG) energy policy serves as an important measure to mitigate air pollution in northern China, and also carries out a mission of alleviating rural energy poverty. To unravel the impact of the CTG policy on rural energy poverty, this study examines the effect on economic and well-being dimensions of energy poverty based on data from five villages in northern China. The findings indicate that in general the CTG policy only limitedly alleviated rural energy poverty with effects varying significantly across different social groups. Economically, the policy has significantly increased recipients’ financial burden, and thereby exacerbated their energy poverty. In terms of well-being, the policy has improved the quality of life for villagers by reducing cooking time and raising indoor temperature, thus contributing to a reduction in energy poverty. The CTG recipients are distinguished into four categories based on varied experiences on economic and well-being aspects, with only one third experiencing overall positive impacts. The study suggests that energy policies intended to alleviate energy poverty may paradoxically perpetuate it. The differential impact across social groups calls for more nuanced and targeted approaches to mitigate the adverse effects of energy policies.

Perceptions of Animal Welfare on Livestock: Evidence from College Agronomy Students in Costa Rica.

Ethical considerations regarding our treatment of animals have gained strength, leading to legislation and a societal focus across various disciplines. This is a subject of study within curricula related to agri-food sciences. The aim was to determine the perceptions of agronomy university students concerning animal welfare in livestock production systems. A survey was conducted to encompass various aspects, from participants' sociodemographic attributes to their attitudes and behaviors regarding animal welfare and the consumption of animal products. Statistical analysis, performed using R software, delved into the associations between participants' characteristics and their perspectives on the ethical, bioethical, and legal dimensions of animal welfare. Associations between demographic factors and ethical viewpoints among students were identified. Gender differences emerged in animal treatment perceptions, while rural and urban environments impacted perspectives on various animals. Bioethical considerations revealed distinctive disparities based on gender and education in concerns regarding animal welfare, value perceptions, evaluations of animal behaviors, and opinions on animal research. It is crucial to distinguish between animal welfare and the ethical considerations arising from coexisting with sentient beings capable of experiencing suffering. Ethical theories provide a lens through which we perceive our obligations toward animals. The responsibility to ensure animal welfare is firmly rooted in recognizing that animals, like humans, experience pain and physical suffering. Consequently, actions causing unjustified suffering or mistreatment, particularly for entertainment purposes, are considered morally unacceptable.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Unhealthy Lifestyle in Adolescence: Unforeseen Role of Allostatic Overload and Psychological Well-Being.

Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (ULBs) are common in early adolescence and could be worsened by Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as by specific psychosocial factors, such as stress and unbalanced (i.e., too high or low scores of) psychological well-being (PWB) dimensions. This multi-center study aimed to evaluate how interactions between ADHD symptoms and psychosocial factors associated with ULBs (i.e., Allostatic Overload and multidimensional Psychological Well-Being), considered as moderators, could affect the adoption of ULBs during adolescence. A total of 440 fourteen-year-old adolescents were recruited from six upper secondary schools in Bologna and Rome (Italy) and completed self-report questionnaires on ULBs, ADHD, and psychosocial factors. Relations between ADHD symptomatology and specific ULBs (i.e., impaired sleep, problematic Internet use) were moderated by variables deemed as "negative" (i.e., Allostatic Overload) or "positive" (i.e., PWB dimensions of Self-Acceptance, Personal Growth, Positive Relations, Purpose in Life, Environmental Mastery): when the "negative" moderator is absent and the levels of the "positive" moderators are higher, ULBs decrease among students with lower ADHD symptomatology but increase among students with more severe ADHD. Based on ADHD severity, interventions should aim at promoting a state of euthymia, which consists in balanced PWB dimensions and reflects the optimal level of well-being to fulfill one's own potential and self-realization.
