This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subjective well-being refers to how people experience and evaluate their lives and specific domains and activities in their lives. This information has already proven valuable to researchers, who have produced insights about the emotional states and experiences of people belonging to different groups, engaged in different activities, at different points in the life course, and involved in different family and community structures. Research has also revealed relationships between people's self-reported, subjectively assessed states and their behavior and decisions. Research on subjective well-being has been ongoing for decades, providing new information about the human condition. During the past decade, interest in the topic among policy makers, national statistical offices, academic researchers, the media, and the public has increased markedly because of its potential for shedding light on the economic, social, and health conditions of populations and for informing policy decisions across these domains. Subjective Well-Being: Measuring Happiness, Suffering, and Other Dimensions of Experience explores the use of this measure in population surveys. This report reviews the current state of research and evaluates methods for the measurement. In this report, a range of potential experienced well-being data applications are cited, from cost-benefit studies of health care delivery to commuting and transportation planning, environmental valuation, and outdoor recreation resource monitoring, and even to assessment of end-of-life treatment options. Subjective Well-Being finds that, whether used to assess the consequence of people's situations and policies that might affect them or to explore determinants of outcomes, contextual and covariate data are needed alongside the subjective well-being measures. This report offers guidance about adopting subjective well-being measures in official government surveys to inform social and economic policies and considers whether research has advanced to a point which warrants the federal government collecting data that allow aspects of the population's subjective well-being to be tracked and associated with changing conditions.

Download or read book Well Being written by Marc H. Bornstein and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-02-26 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume derived from original presentations given at a conference in Atlanta, Georgia, under the auspices of the Center for Child Well-Being. Scholars, practitioners, public health professionals, and principals in the child development community convened to address a science-based framework for elements of well-being and how the elements might be developed across the life course. Integrating physical, cognitive, and social-emotional domains, Well-Being is the first scientific book to consider well-being holistically. Focusing on a set of core strengths grouped within these three domains, the book also includes a fourth section on developmental strengths through adulthood that broadly examines a continuum of health and development, as well as transitions in well-being. This volume takes a developmental perspective across the life course, describing foundational strengths for well-being--the capacities that can be actively developed, supported, or learned. These foundational strengths--problem solving, emotional regulation, and physical safety--are the positive underpinnings of early child health and development, as well as ongoing well-being across the life course. Working together and blending their respective disciplinary perspectives and expertise, 53 experts in psychology, sociology, child development, and medicine have contributed to the book.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well Being Research written by Alex C. Michalos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 7347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Download or read book Emotional Dimensions of Healthcare written by David Woodlock and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE IS AN UNDENIABLE CORRELATION BETWEEN OUR EMOTIONS, UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS, AND OUR POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. Something unhealthy is happening in America. We are getting sicker more often and we are dying sooner than we should. Here in the wealthiest, most advanced nation in human history, money and technology alone have not been the answer to preventing disease and promoting good health. Not even providing better access to the existing healthcare system or making medical care cheaper seems to solve the dilemma. But David Woodlock in his new book, Emotional Dimensions of Healthcare, has figured out the problem and offers solutions. Taking the next leap forward in healthcare will mean embracing the long-overlooked and neglected emotional dimension of our lives. The combination of chronic stress, adverse childhood experiences, and continued negative social determinants such as exposure to community violence and poverty, can have a devastating impact on anyone's physical health. But our current approach to healthcare ignores the emotional component of our well-being. There is hope, however. Mr. Woodlock provides a prescription for smarter, better health, offering innovative approaches already being tried, as well as surveying the best ideas yet to be implemented. The result is a compelling vision of a new era of healthcare that guarantees both longevity and a higher quality of life for millions of Americans. "A deeply sourced, brilliant prescription for what healthcare must be in the 21st century." - Robert Hayes, President & CEO Community Health Network "Woodlock gets] at the heart of our current healthcare system and its regrettably poor outcomes." - Jorge R. Petit, MD, Beacon Health Options "An insightful and profoundly meaningful pathway to better health, lower costs, and a deeper connection between physician and patient." - Linda Rosenberg, President & CEO National Council for Behavioral Health
