Effectiveness of Positive Psychology and Meditation Interventions on Nurses’ Wellbeing and Patient Care
The Virtue of Self-Compassion
Well-being is more than happiness and life satisfaction
Flourishing Across Europe
Governments around the world are recognising the importance of measuring subjective well-being as an indicator of progress. But how should well-being be measured? A conceptual framework is offered which equates high well-being with positive mental health. Well-being is seen as lying at the opposite end of a spectrum to the common mental disorders (depression, anxiety). By examining internationally agreed criteria for depression and anxiety (DSM a…
An Evaluation of the Precision of Measurement of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales in a Population Sample
The aim of this study is to assess the effective measurement range of Ryff's Psychological Well-being scales (PWB). It applies normal ogive item response theory (IRT) methodology using factor analysis procedures for ordinal data based on a limited information estimation approach. The data come from a sample of 1,179 women participating in a midlife follow-up of a national birth cohort study in the UK. The PWB scales incorporate six dimensions: au…
Psychological Well‐being
This review focuses on positive aspects of well‐being, or flourishing. It examines evidence for the causes of positive well‐being and also its consequences, including beneficial effects for many aspects of cognitive functioning, health, and social relationships. The neurobiological basis of psychological well‐being is examined, and recent data on brain activation and neurochemical pathways are presented. Individuals vary widely in their habitual …
Neuroticism in Adolescence and Cognitive Function in Midlife in the British 1946 Birth Cohort
We examined whether higher levels of neuroticism in adolescence were associated with poorer cognitive function in midlife in 2,071 members of the British 1946 birth cohort. Higher neuroticism at age 13 was associated with poorer performance on tests of verbal ability, verbal fluency, and verbal memory at age 53 in sex-adjusted analyses. However, higher neuroticism was also associated with poorer cognitive performance at age 8. After adjustment fo…

Neighborhood Deprivation, Individual Socioeconomic Status, and Cognitive Function in Older People
OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between cognitive function, socioeconomic status, and neighborhood deprivation (lack of local resources of all types, financial and otherwise). DESIGN: Nationally representative cross‐section. SETTING: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). PARTICIPANTS: Seven thousand one hundred twenty‐six community‐dwelling individuals aged 52 and older and resident in urban areas. MEASUREMENTS: Individual cogni…
Measuring Well-being Across Europe
Cohort differences in disease and disability in the young-old
This study provides evidence of rising levels of ill-health, as measured by the prevalence of self-reported chronic conditions, in the newer cohorts of the young-old. Though changes in diagnosis or reporting of disease cannot, as yet, be excluded, to better understand whether our findings reflect real increases in ill-health, investment should be made into improved population-based databases, linking self-report and objective measures of health a…
The science of well-being
Evidence for the independence of positive and negative well‐being
Objectives: Evidence is accumulating that positive mental states are more than the absence of symptoms, and may play an independent role in health outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare the characteristics and determinants of positive and negative mental states in a population sample. Design: A novel analysis of data was undertaken from the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐30) which was completed by 6,317 participants in the Health and Li…
Smoking, drinking, and other life style factors and cognitive function in men in the Caerphilly cohort
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To examine the cognitive function in a large, ongoing cohort study of older men, and to identify associations with social and lifestyle factors. DESIGN: A cross sectional study of cognitive function was conducted within the Caerphilly Prospective Study of Heart Disease and stroke. SETTING: The Caerphilly Study was originally set up in 1979-83 when the men were 45-59 years of age. Extensive data are available on a wide range of l…
Divorce, Current Marital Status and Well-Being in an Elderly Population
Using a British sample of 2,041 individuals aged sixty-five and over, we describe the prevalence of divorce and remarriage in the sample and investigate housing, social integration, health and well-being in relation to earlier divorce and current marital status. The sample is confined to the relatively healthy section of the population living in the community and excludes those who are moderately to severely mentally and/or physically frail. Just…
