Project-Based Leisure: Toward Personal Well-Being and Community Involvement

Project-Based Leisure: Toward Personal Well-Being and Community Involvement by Robert A. Stebbins
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 71 Pages | ISBN : 3031470516 | 1.7 MB

This short book discusses the relatively new concept of project-based leisure in leisure research, and relates it to individual and community well-being and quality of life. The book defines PBL as a short-term, reasonably complicated, one-off or occasional, though infrequent, creative undertaking carried out in free time, or time free of disagreeable obligation. Such leisure requires considerable planning, effort, and sometimes skill or knowledge. The book discusses how PBL contributes to subjective well-being, though doing so more modestly than serious leisure and occupational devotion. The book surveys existing field research of the author’s own and other studies, and provides original insights on how PBL activities can be used to generate community involvement and subjective well-being.

English | PDF | 2004 | 330 Pages | ISBN : 0306478854 | 4.4 MB

The ability to communicate effectively with cancer patients and their family members has been linked to patient satisfaction, reduced psychological morbidity, enhanced health and reduced clinician "burn-out". Yet, despite what we know about the benefits of effective communication, cancer clinicians have only recently begun to receive routine training in the psychosocial and emotional aspects of cancer patient care.

Subjective Well-Being in the Indian Context: Concept, Measure and Index

Subjective Well-Being in the Indian Context: Concept, Measure and Index by Tithi Bhatnagar
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 981996525X | 6.3 MB

This book offers an understanding of subjective well-being (SWB) in the Indian context across ages and strata. It discusses the conceptualization and measurement of both subjective well-being (SWB) and subjective ill-being (SIB) through a multi-phased research study. The structure of SWB and development, standardization, and indexing of an SWB Measure provide insights on how the SWB Measure can enable nations to find out the national level of SWB/SIB for its citizens. The index may be useful in identifying the level of people’s well-being or ill-being. It explores the possibility of implications and interventions in optimizing SWB both at the individual and collective levels. It is a consolidated account of the work done in SWB research, particularly with a cultural focus from the Indian context. This book has a wide application for students, researchers, psychometricians, practitioners, policymakers, and all individuals interested in concepts like SWB and Happiness.

Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research by Alex C. Michalos
English | PDF | 2014 | 7504 Pages | ISBN : 9400707525 | 106.8 MB

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.

The chapters study the cultural characteristics of different facets and elements of hope and furthermore explore its common qualities to elucidate the universal nature of hope across cultures. Comprehensive, transdisciplinary and cross-cultural in scope, this volume is of interest to a global readership across the social and behavioural sciences.

The PROSPER School Pathways for Student Wellbeing: Policy and Practices by Toni Noble, Helen McGrath
English | PDF | 2016 | 114 Pages | ISBN : 3319217941 | 1.5 MB

This brief defines student wellbeing and outlines seven evidence-informed pathways that schools can take to promote student wellbeing and develop their school as an enabling institution. The acronym PROSPER is applied as an organizer for both the psychological elements of wellbeing and for these Positive Education pathways. These pathways focus on encouraging Positivity, building Relationships, facilitating Outcomes and a sense of competence, focusing on Strengths, fostering a sense of Purpose, enhancing Engagement and teaching Resilience. Each pathway draws on both the principles of positive psychology and the educational research that identifies the impact of each pathway for student learning. The benefits of a school-wide focus on student wellbeing for student engagement in learning and their success in school and in life are outlined. Practical guidelines for the development and implementation of educational policy that has student wellbeing as its central focus are also provided.

Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures by Victor R. Preedy (Prof.), Ronald R. Watson (Prof.)
English | PDF | 2010 | 4507 Pages | ISBN : 0387786643 | 57.3 MB

The impact of illness on individual lives and society at large was once considered too vast to gauge. More recently, quantitative measures of quality of life, life expectancy, and the financial costs of illness and treatment are showing not only how this impact can be calculated but also how the results can be used to further research and improve public health. The Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures is the first comprehensive reference to these instruments and their findings on an international scale.

Lebenszufriedenheit und Pendelerfolg: Ost-West-Pendelnde aus Tschechien, Slowakei und Ungarn in Österreich by Raimund Haindorfer
Deutsch | PDF | 2019 | 312 Pages | ISBN : 3658267909 | 2.5 MB

Raimund Haindorfer untersucht die Lebenszufriedenheit und den subjektiven Pendelerfolg von Ost-West-Pendelnden. In seiner Studie fokussiert er sich auf das Pendeln aus Tschechien, Slowakei und Ungarn nach Österreich in der Central European Region als exemplarisches Beispiel für neue Facetten der Ost-West-Mobilität in einem Europa nach 1989. Anhand einer Kombination aus quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden präsentiert der Autor wichtige Bewertungsdimensionen des Lebens im Kontext des Pendelns aus Sicht der Pendlerinnen und Pendler. Ferner demonstriert er, dass das Ost-West-Pendeln subjektiv sehr positiv bewertet wird, trotz einer Vielzahl negativer Arbeitsmarkterfahrungen.
