Texte intégralRésumé :
Wellbeing has emerged as an important discourse of management and organisation. Practices of wellbeing are located in concrete organisational arrangements and shaped by power relations built upon embedded, intersecting inequalities and therefore require critical evaluation. Critical evaluation is essential if we are to reorganise wellbeing to move beyond critique and actively contest dominant wellbeing narratives in order to reshape the contexts in which wellbeing can be fulfilled. The COVID-19 pandemic under which this special issue took shape, provides various examples of how practices continue to be shaped by existing narratives of wellbeing. The pandemic also constituted a far-reaching shock that gave collective pause to consider to the extent to which work is really organised to realise wellbeing and opened up potential to think differently. The seven papers included in the special issue reveal the problematic and uneven way in which wellbeing is pursued and examine possibilities to imagine and realise more radical practices of wellbeing that can counter the way in which ill-being is produced by the organisation of labour.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Youth wellbeing is a pressing international problem, and it is a key concern of educational institutions, considering the substantial amount of time that youth spend in school. Educators require empirically validated and theoretically sound methods to support students’ wellbeing. This article critically examines the literature on youth wellbeing and interventions in positive education and proposes an innovative, social ecological approach to promoting wellbeing in education. Personal Projects Analysis is a complementary approach addressing several gaps identified in existing interventions (e.g. lack of consideration of ecological and cultural contexts, need for a person-centred approach to support unique goals of diverse students). Implications and applications are discussed to demonstrate how school leadership and educators can apply Personal Projects Analysis to promote the wellbeing of all students.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Innovation and research have been key features throughout the sixty years the UK has publicly funded a National Health Service. Over the last thirty years, in planning health service reforms, successive Governments have drawn on the values of the private sector, where innovation is considered an imperative If firms are to survive in the global market place. Consequently, the innovation imperative is now at the heart of UK health policy.

Schultz, Clinton. « Factors of holistic wellbeing for members of the Aboriginal health and community workforce ». Thesis, Griffith University, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10072/392019.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The following thesis is an explanation of a lore and culture informed perspective of worker wellbeing for the Aboriginal health and community workforce derived from the lived experiences of such workers. The entirety of this perspective required the furthering of current understandings or explanations of social and emotional wellbeing that were further removed from western understandings of being, particularly organisational wellbeing and more inclusive of notions of lore and culture. For the modelling to blossom a bricolage Indigenist methodology was required.
A qualitative methodology incorporating elements of Indigenous standpoint theory, grounded theory, critical theory, autobiographical ethnicity and yarning was used to form a bricolage for this study. This bricolage was developed after acknowledging that none of the above-mentioned approaches on their own quite fit the purposes of the current study however elements of each were considered integral. For the purposes of this study, this bricolage was labelled: Critical Aboriginal Bricolage (CAB).
Critical Aboriginal Bricolage (CAB) offers a culturally responsive research methodology that fits with the need to protect Aboriginal knowledge production and to meet academic rigour. It is an approach that promotes the active search for pieces of methodology that most fit the situation under investigation and for those for whom the investigation is occurring. The aim of CAB is to empower the voice of the subject from the culturally informed and involved perspective of the investigator.
For the knowledge produced to be most relevant to those it was produced for and from whom the knowledge came, the importance of Aboriginal ways of sharing knowledge had to be respected and used. This leads to more weight being applied to knowledge transfer through story rather than strict Western academic expectation. The author of this thesis is unforgiving in this pursuit and considers relevance to the target audience and acceptance of the themes from Aboriginal Elders to be of more value than
Western academic ‘excellence’. The author questions the status of power and authority of and over knowledge by western institutions and the legitimacy of such claims particularly with reference to Indigenist knowledges.
Australia has both an internationally recognised (through being a signatory to the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)) and a moral obligation to ensure the wellbeing of Australia’s Aboriginal populations is improved as a national priority. Improvements in health outcomes and well–being are dependent on providing self-determination and sovereignty for Aboriginal peoples. This requires allowing Aboriginal people to utilise their own ontologies and epistemologies at all levels of the lived experience, be those education, work, healing, policy, child rearing, living and even dying. It also requires opportunity for Aboriginal peoples to know and to practice their own law as law is intrinsically linked to self–determination. Lore and culture have always provided Aboriginal peoples with the frameworks required to live well with each other and with place on the Australian continent. Looking at lore and culture to inform future policy and procedure is likely to lead to positive outcomes for Aboriginal peoples.
Aboriginal people as a population group experience far greater burden of disease than other Australians. This is the case across all physical and mental health indicators. There is therefore a greater need for service provision for Aboriginal peoples and communities yet engagement and adherence remain low. Access to culturally informed and appropriate health provision is often mentioned as a barrier to Aboriginal health. One identified effective strategy for increasing engagement with health and community services and further improving adherence to health and community service interventions has been to increase the number of Aboriginal workers within the fields of health and community service work.
Increasing the workforce is only a viable strategy if the workforce is stable. Aboriginal health and community service workers experience high levels of stress driven by multiple and at times unique stressors associated with the work they undertake and the communities in which they live or are from. This culminative stress impacts on the overall wellbeing of workers. Negatively impacted wellbeing is likely to be a factor influencing the high turnover and burnout rates experienced by Aboriginal people employed in health and community service work. Given the unique mix of cultural,
historical, professional and social influences of wellbeing present for Aboriginal health and community service providers it is unlikely that western explanations of workplace stress and worker wellbeing such as those offered around burnout or compassion fatigue for instance will be a true and complete fit for this workforce. Currently there is little work investigating the wellbeing of this particular workforce from a culturally rooted standpoint. As Aboriginal workers are themselves Aboriginal people and community members, if we are to be guided by the UN Declaration then culturally informed and appropriate strategies should be developed to assist with the maintenance of their wellbeing. It is therefore pertinent that strategies are developed to better maintain the wellbeing of Aboriginal workers that are developed from Aboriginal ontologies and epistemologies.
The theories offered in this thesis have come from the knowledge and experience of the workers themselves and may support this important work force in staying strong, supported, resilient and empowered in their work. Notions of lore and culture are prominent and are the basis for the theories offered as they have since the beginning of time kept us strong while caring for each other and caring for country.
A new model of holistic being, highlighting the importance of spirit is offered. This model incorporates lore as paramount in the wellbeing experience for Aboriginal people. It is further suggested that this model could be utilised with any population group as humans, in our great diversity of understandings of well-being and healthcare, all share the same basic structure of being. This involves spirit as core; mind, body and soul (as genetic memory) as a basic framework; and multiple connections influencing our story of self and other. This is all surrounded by a constant flow of positive and negative experiences that influence the choices we make and the expressions of being we create at any given time.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Templeman, J. S. « An ethnographic study of critical care nurses' experiences following the decision to withdraw life-sustaining treatment from patients in a UK intensive care unit ». Thesis, University of Salford, 2015. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/36188/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The intensive care unit (ICU) embodies an environment of advanced technology and care, collaborative decision making and life-threatening emergencies. Critically ill patients are central to this unique milieu and culture, cared for by knowledgeable and skilful nurses who manage each patient’s intensive care journey. Highly developed decision making skills become essential as life and death are often finely balanced. In the United Kingdom, once the decision to withdraw life-sustaining treatment has been made by the medical team, further decision making relevant to the actual withdrawal of treatment is conducted by nurses. The aim of this study was to explore critical care nurses’ experiences following the decision to withdraw treatment from patients in a UK intensive care cultural setting. An ethnographic lens of enquiry was the chosen methodology, and methods employed included 144 hours of observation and eight semi-structured interviews (using two vignettes) developed from the ICU experience. The research was conducted in a large 20 bed ICU in the North West of England. The participants were qualified nurses who met the main inclusion criteria of the study in that they had all experienced caring for a patient following the decision to withdraw treatment. Data analysis was undertaken using Ricoeur’s analytical framework. Three central themes emerged from the data analysis, namely: the decision to withdraw treatment; nurses’ actions following the withdrawal of treatment decision; and shared experiences in the journey towards death. The findings suggested that nurses’ created a private space for the dying patient and discovered a parallel journey towards death experienced by the patient, the nurse and the family. The nurse’s adaptation from a curative focus of care to palliative care also emerged, where the desire was to offer positive and meaningful experiences for the family during this emotive phase of ‘end-of-life care’. Recommendations for clinical practice include the recognition of the value and benefits of formal and informal support for nurses during the patient’s withdrawal of treatment and subsequent dying trajectory. Recognition of the importance of the intensive care environment as a whole for dying patients, their families and their care cannot be undervalued. In addition, given the palliative nature of care required of critical care nurses, a recommended of the inclusion of a palliative care specialist nurse in the multi-disciplinary team could enhance the patients’ quality of end-of-life care.

Spratt, Jennifer. « A critical discourse analysis examining the relationships between learning and health and wellbeing in Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence ». Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2014. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=210585.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence (Scottish Executive 2004) reframes the role of teachers to include responsibility towards children's health, demanding that health and wellbeing be considered ‘across learning'. In legitimating intervention by schools in increasingly personal aspects of children's lives this policy has shifted the boundaries between the state and the child. The thesis explores how different professional and academic discourses of wellbeing are invoked in the context of learning, leading to a critique of the purposes of the policy. Drawing from Ereaut and Whiting (2008) five discursive themes are identified: physical health promotion; social and emotional literacy; care; philosophical discourse of flourishing; and sustainability. Fielding's (2007a) constructs of the ‘person centred learning community' and the ‘high performance learning organisation' are used. The former aligns with a welfare-liberal understanding of learning as valuable personal development supporting wellbeing as flourishing. The latter is underpinned by neo-liberal principles seeking to manipulate emotional wellbeing to raise performance. This distinction between learning for wellbeing, and wellbeing for learning informs the Critical Discourse Analysis. Data is drawn from policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with policy actors and teachers. Analysis demonstrated that the policy overlooks key contributions of education to wellbeing, prioritising discourses of other professional groups. Moreover, health and wellbeing is consistently and repeatedly portrayed as a prerequisite of learning, rather than an outcome of education. This invites the interpretation of a neo-liberal attempt to build human capital by harnessing emotions of children. However, this is tempered by the interviews, where more nuanced representations show how seemingly different discourses can exist alongside each other, demonstrating that there is space in Curriculum for Excellence for an interpretation of learning for human flourishing. The thesis concludes by offering a model demonstrating how discourses of care, physical health promotion and psychology could contribute to education for flourishing.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This project was an ethnographic study to understand how immigrant women in Australia seek help to improve and/or maintain their health. In “sitting with” women, they expressed extremely broad and situated constructions of health, illness and wellbeing. These included a range of sources of vulnerability (including migration challenges, domestic violence, mental illness and marginalisation and exclusion) and agency (including friendships, networks and personal senses of resilience and survivorship). Additionally, women and service providers called for a re-imagining of Australia’s health and social care systems; to actively reckon with societal and institutional realities such as power, gender and racism.

Engwall, Marie. « En vårdande ljusmiljö inom intensivvård : Patienters upplevelser och effekter av en cyklisk belysningsintervention ». Doctoral thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för vård, arbetsliv och välfärd, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-11911.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen var att beskriva och undersöka patienters - vårdade inom intensivvård - upplevelser och effekter av en cyklisk belysningsintervention utifrån hälsa, välbefinnande och återhämtning. Metod: En intervention bestående av ett automatiskt styrt belysningssystem var installerat på ett intensivvårdsrum. Belysningsinterventionens mål var att efterlikna dagsljuset i styrka, kvalitet, och lokalisation. Ett ordinarie intensivvårdsrum fungerade som kontrollmiljö. I studie I eftersöktes i en systematisk litteratursammanställning tidigare forskningsresultat rörande cykliska belysningsinterventioner inom intensivvård. Belysningsmiljöerna i intervention- och kontrollmiljön bedömdes i studie I av besökare och i studie II av patienter samt jämfördes och analyserades statistiskt. Ljus och belysningsmätningar utfördes i både forsknings- och kontrollmiljön. I studie II undersöktes patienters upplevelser av den cykliska belysningsmiljön genom kvalitativa intervjuer vilka analyserade med innehållsanalys. I studie II mättes och jämfördes patienters sömn, dygnsrytm samt fysiologiska parametrar och analyserades statistiskt. I studie IV undersöktes och jämfördes patienternas självskattade återhämtning efter sex och tolv månader. Resultat: Cykliska belysningsinterventioner exponerade för vuxna patienter var få. Resultatet visade dock att interventioner med cykliskt ljus inom neonatal intensivvård kunde inverka positivt på förtidigt födda barns hälsa. Den cykliska interventionsmiljön bedömdes som mer trivsam och mätningar av belysningen utförda i interventionsmiljön visade på samstämmighet med europeiska rekommendationer. Belysningsnivåerna i kontrolmiljön var manuellt styrda och mätningarna visade på antingen för låga eller för höga belysningsnivåer under dagtid jämfört med europeiska rekommendationer. Patienterna bedömde den cykliska belysningsmiljön som starkare dagtid och under nattetid bedömdes belysningen i kontrolmiljön som mer varierande. Patienters individuella upplevelser av den cykliska belysningsinterventionen presenterades i fyra kategorier: en dynamisk belysningsmiljö, belysningens påverkan på patientens sömn, ljus/belysnings påverkan på dygnsrytm samt en lugnande belysning. Patienternas dygnsrytm stärktes inte av den cykliska belysningsmiljön under deras sista 24-timmarsperiod. Patienternas självrapporterade återhämtning efter intensivvård var bättre efter 12-månader efter utskrivning hos de som vårdats i interventionsmiljön. Slutsatser: Genom att studera de båda forskningsområdena vårdvetenskap och ljus/belysning tillsammans skapades ny kunskap till vårdvetenskapen. Trots svår sjukdom eller skada kunde patienterna bedöma och reflektera kring belysningsmiljön. Ämnesområdet lämpar sig väl för att undersökas med både kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder.Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe and evaluate patients’, who were cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU), experiences and effects concerning a cycled lighting intervention based on health, wellbeing and recovery. Methods: An automatically controlled cycled lighting intervention aimed to mimic natural light levels, quality and position throughout the day was evaluated. An ordinary lit room was used as a control. A multiple-method approach was used. In study I, there were three aspects: a systematic review of the previous research concerning cycled lighting interventions in the intensive care; visitor evaluations of the lighting environments in the intervention and ordinary room; and measurements of illuminance, luminance and irradiance in both conditions. In study II, the patients evaluated the lighting environment in the two rooms. Data were compared and analysed. Furthermore, patients’ experiences regarding the cycled lighting environment were investigated through qualitative interviews, which were subsequently analysed by content analysis. In study III, patients’ sleep, activity and physiological parameters were measured and compared. Study IV consisted of statistical analysis of a questionnaire concerning patients’ self-reported recovery six and 12 months after their ICU treatments. Results: The literature review on cycled lighting interventions in adult ICUs was rare but more common in the neonatal ICU (NICU). Findings showed that cycled lighting interventions improved health in preterm infants, but there were also non-significant results reported. The visitors reported the cycled lighting environment as more pleasant, and based on measurements, the lighting levels were at equivalent levels with European recommendations for hospitals. The lighting levels in the ordinary room were manually controlled and were reported as being either too low or too bright during the daytime. Patients evaluated the cycled lighting environment as brighter in daytime, and this was in coherence with the results from the measurements of illumination. Patients’ individual experiences concerning the cycled lighting environment were reported in four categories: a dynamic lighting environment, the impact of lighting on patients’ sleep, the impact of light/lighting on the circadian rhythm and the degree to which the lighting calmed them. Patients’ circadian rhythms were not further strengthened by the cycled lighting intervention during their final 24-period in the ICU. Twelve months after their ICU treatments, patients cared for in the intervention environment self-reported their recovery as significantly better than those who received treatment in the ordinary room. Conclusions: A multiple methodology was used to explore theresearch field from a wider perspective. Combining knowledge from both the lighting research field and caring science has brought new knowledge to both and especially to the practice of nursing. Despite their severe illnesses or injuries, patients were able to assess their experiences with the lighting environment and reflect on how the lighting was able to support their health. This thesis reports findings that indicate that environmental/lighting interventions may improvepatients’ health. Lighting interventions are harmless, safe, sustainable and, in comparison to technical and medical interventions, considerably cheaper. With this knowledge, we believe all vulnerable patients in the ICU should be surrounded by a lighting environment around the clock to support their health, wellbeing and recovery.

Emery, Carl John. « The New Labour discourse of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) across schools in England and Wales as a universal intervention : a critical discourse analysis ». Thesis, University of Manchester, 2016. https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/en/theses/the-new-labour-discourse-of-social-and-emotional-learning-sel-across-schools-in-england-and-wales-as-a-universal-intervention-a-critical-discourse-analysis(ba24b8e8-b15f-4b25-99a1-ed1abf4aa8df).html.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis reports on a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the SEL policy makers’ conversations taking place in England and Wales during the New Labour period. The research sets out to offer a critical explanation of Welsh and English SEL policy thinking and doing and how the SEL policy discourse worked to privilege certain ideas and topics and speakers and exclude others. Thinking with theory and building on the work of Apple (2007) and Ball (2012) I draw on the contemporary tenets of critical theory to examine the (dominant) English and (often subjugated) Welsh discourse(s) to historically locate and contextualise the mainstream SEL literature within the ideological discourse of neoliberalism (Harvey, 2005). This neoliberalism is one which unequivocally drives policy in the direction of markets and propounds a thorough marketization of educational provisions and practices (Lynch, 2006).Drawing on data from a series of eight semi structured interviews with key national level policymakers, alongside documentary analysis, I argue that New Labour in England, particularly in its second term, through a particular policy network and the SEAL programme, adopted SEL as a tool of managerialism designed to shape and govern a self-managing, entrepreneurial, placid subject in the service of the neoliberal economic model. Alternatively I contend that the Welsh assembly adopted SEL as a practical and progressive tool for developing a more equal society and a more egalitarian and democratic modus operandi of social justice (rooted in normative precepts of the collective and of community cohesion). This “Welsh” approach was powerfully intertwined with the devolution programme and notions of the child as a democratic citizen with agency and rights. In both England and Wales this understanding and application of SEL was intimately connected with national identity and notions of nationhood. This work was undertaken using a CDA approach. It employed Fairclough’s Three Dimensional Model (1992) of Critical Discourse Analysis and engaged with the subject and data through the three lenses of text (the written and spoken word), discursive practice (the production, distribution and consumption of the text) and social practice (the wider social, political and economic forces shaping the discourse). By illuminating through CDA the ideologically infused discursive claims to truth and value, which underpinned the rhetoric and substance of the UK (Anglo-centric) Government’s version of SEL in schools and that of the devolved Welsh Government, my findings reveal the broader scale ideas and political-ontological truth claims which drove the development of SEL across England and Wales during the New Labour period; the research therein unveils the implicit but reified notions of childhood and children’s wellbeing which were central to SEL development at both the national and devolved levels; it identifies the unspoken and latent ideological projects which were core to the production of divergent SEL discourses in each of the countries; and finally, it reveals the influence which national tradition, domestic power structures, cross-societal inequities and the subjugation of certain identities have had on the conceptualisation and practical delivery of SEL in England and Wales. The study concludes that the relationship between language and political ideology in England and Wales during the New Labour years powerfully shaped the SEL policy discourse. In England the result of this was a thin version of SEL co-opted into the service of the neoliberal marketplace. In Wales a similar outcome occurred but only after a very different contextualised and transformative version of SEL was relinquished due to the invasive neoliberal forces attacking Welsh education.

Robieux, Léonore. « L'empathie clinique : rôle et déterminants dans la prise en charge des maladies chroniques graves ». Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCB256.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Ces 15 dernières années, la recherche sur l'empathie clinique dans le contexte de la médecine somatique s'est développée de manière significative. Cette empathie clinique est donc de mieux en mieux cernée : élaboration de différentes modélisations et identification de ses bénéfices. Aujourd'hui, il reste certains challenges à relever, et notamment celui d'améliorer et de préserver l'empathie clinique au fil de la formation et de la pratique médicales tout en protégeant le bien-être des médecins. Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif de définir l'empathie clinique dans le cadre des maladies chroniques graves : son processus, ses déterminants, ses conséquences et les ressources nécessaires. Ce travail propose trois études successives portant sur des patients (N=15) et des médecins hospitaliers (N=235) selon un design mixte, recueils de données quantitatifs et qualitatifs associés à des analyses de données quantitatives. Ces études cherchent à définir l'empathie, identifier et tester ses antécédents et conséquences, en explorant les vécus des médecins et des patients. Par ailleurs, une quatrième étude longitudinale dite pilote a été mise en place. Les résultats ont mis en évidence la spécificité de l'empathie à une clinique spécifique, ont souligné sa nature majoritairement cognitive et comportementale et son rôle primordial dans la clinique et le bien-être des patients et des médecins. Ce travail propose ainsi une définition empirique qui concilie et enrichit les précédentes tout en développant la connaissance des déterminants de cette compétence clinique dans le cas spécifique des maladies chroniques graves. L'empathie clinique résulte de nombreux éléments tant individuels que situationnels ou encore interindividuels. Alors le développement de l'empathie des médecins auprès des personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques graves ne peut être considéré sans développer des recommandations à destination des institutions, des programmes de formation, et des dispositifs de soutien individuel et collectifOver the last 15 years, research on clinical empathy in somatic medicine has increased significantly. This clinical empathy is therefore becoming better understood, which shows by the appearance of various models and benefits on patients and physicians. Today, the challenge is to improve and to maintain clinical empathy through medical training and practice while protecting the well-being of physicians. This thesis' aim is to define clinical empathy in the context of serious chronic diseases: its process, its determinants, its consequences and the resources it needs. This work proposes three sequential studies involving patients (N = 15) and hospital doctors (N = 233). The design is mixed between qualitative and quantitative data and methods. These studies seek to define empathy, identify and test its antecedents and its consequences, exploring both the experiences of physicians and patients. Furthermore, a fourth study, a pilot one, has been conducted. Empathy appears as specific to a clinic. The results emphasize its cognitive and behavioral facets. Clinical empathy has a key role in patients' care and wellbeing but also in physicians' wellbeing. This work proposes an empirical definition that reconciles and enriches the preceding ones. It gives the opportunity to develop knowledge of empathy's determinants in the specific case of serious chronic diseases. Clinical empathy is the result of many individual, situational and inter-individual elements. Therefore, the development of doctors' empathy with patients with severe chronic diseases cannot be considered without developing recommendations to institutions, training programs, and individual and collective supports

Texte intégralRésumé :
Bachelor Honours - Bachelor of Arts (Honours)This thesis explores the topic, Wellbeing: a pedagogical praxis for the radical reform of secondary education. Key researchers such as Freire, and Robinson, expose the inextricable link between politics and education, and advocate for pedagogical practices that promote wellbeing. Traditionalist educators such as Donnelly, and Wiltshire uphold standardised testing and ‘high stakes’ competition such as NAPLAN and the HSC. Connell and Teinken present the neo-liberal influence on secondary education in Australia. I find that the current the policies uphold neoliberal ideologies. The case study analysis in chapter five, explores Big Picture Education, and demonstrates the extent to which it challenges the neoliberal banking version of education, and claims to offer a range of alternative pedagogical practices that foster and support well-being. I explore this through critical pedagogy and find that, student centred learning and co-investigatory relationships are paramount to politically shifting the current educational paradigm to better support student wellbeing, which is not adequately addressed for most Australian students. Wellbeing, when addressed effectively, has a positive impact of student wellbeing on mental health, cognitive development, and academic achievements. I developed the analysis through my experience, observations, and reflections, as a secondary educator in mainstream and alternative settings, which enable an autoethnographic approach, and the methodological framework for this research encapsulates a range of Indigenous, and feminist research methodologies. I find that the current the policies uphold neoliberal ideologies evident in language, practices such as the ‘banking’ model, standardised testing and high stakes competition, do not support student wellbeing. A recent survey revealed that ‘70% of students surveyed rated their mental health as poor or fair’ (Headspace, 2019). This is alarming! This paper recommends alternative pedagogical practices as a solution to successfully embedding wellbeing, that can and should be incorporated into educational systems and practices, to support our students more effectively.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Current literature reports wellbeing travel as a rapidly increasing, profitable
international tourism sector. Wellbeing travel is positioned as an antidote to the
declining wellbeing in western societies. However, it is also reported that those
travelling for wellbeing are for the most part, already ‘healthy and wealthy’,
predominately white, middle class and female.
Partly in response to the literature, this thesis draws attention to wellbeing travel
as more than just a growing tourism sector. In a critical examination of wellbeing
travel this thesis explores how and why a small group of people are travelling for
wellbeing, and why other people are not. It is argued that non-travel is not an
indiscriminate occurrence, but a multi-faceted and sometimes deliberate process,
resulting in exclusion.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractIn this chapter, we explore some of the many interpretations of the word ‘wellbeing’. We draw on Ryan and Deci’s phrase ‘positive experience and wellness’ (Advances in motivation science (6). Elsevier, 2019, p.215) to represent some relevant aspects of school wellbeing. Our own interpretation of wellbeing, in relation to school-children, also chimes with White’s (Exploring well-being in schools: A guide to making children’s lives more fulfilling. Routledge, 2011) definition as follows: ‘Autonomous, whole-hearted and successful engagement in worthwhile activities and relationships … engaging now in worthwhile pursuits’ (p.131). This is the definition that underpins our analysis of the CLIPS children’s narratives. We also consider how the United Nations Children’s Rights Charter (UNCRC) of 1989 can help us navigate wellbeing, by directing schooling practices towards children being protected and cared for; being developed in mental and physical strengths and interests; being given appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activities; and being allowed freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expressing themselves. We compare these aims with some policy documents in England recently that seem to promote wellbeing while at the same time encouraging practices, such as grouping by attainment, that erode wellbeing for those in lower-status groups. We conclude this chapter by examining in greater detail how Self-Determination Theory [Ryan & Deci (Advances in motivation science (6). Elsevier, 2019)] construes wellbeing. Its definition of wellbeing includes healthy self-functioning, integrity and a general positive self-concept. They claim it is aligned to: ‘The spontaneous propensity of people to take interest in their inner and outer worlds in an attempt to engage, interact, master, and understand’ (Ibid., p.215).

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThis chapter lays out how our life-histories suggested that an increased Sense of Relatedness could influence a child’s trajectory towards wellbeing. This accords with the recent research literature, reported in this chapter, which supports the links between Sense of Competence, Sense of Relatedness and wellbeing. By Sense of Relatedness, we mean a child having a sense of belongingness and/or connectedness to group/others, having a sense of purpose and a vision of potential benefit with and for the group. It can entail feeling respected, having good status, being valued, experiences of closeness, warmth, respect, value, acceptance, trust, participation, cooperation and/or care. The life-histories indicated the particular importance of friendships for children with a low Sense of Competence. Many of the CLIPS children described troubled relationships within schooling and a sense of alienation. This seemed to be exacerbated by a possibly lowered Sense of Competence as ‘lower-attainers’, which made relationships more tricky in various ways, including by being kept in class during playtimes to finish work and being split up from friends by Attainment Grouping. Despite the clear link between Sense of Relatedness and wellbeing, both in our data and in recent academic literature, it appeared that it was not systemically recognised as playing the key role it manifestly did for some children.

Construction Industry assumes an imperative part in the economy of any country. The development of construction business is a pivotal part of economies around the world, contributing fundamentally to foundation improvement. With regards to construction industry in Pakistan, which is constantly connected with various worries and difficulties for the engineers and now and again they attempted to sort out and often it has been overlook because of amateurish perspectives. The business is condemned generally because of development designing mishaps and related harm caused to work force, hardware, gear, and assurance of work. A few occurrences have been explored after the mishaps occurred which ought to have been directed preceding the development exercises and ventures. The development of construction business in Pakistan faces critical security worries because of holes in guidelines, preparing, and implementation strategies. To keep a solid and useful workplace, laborers ought to be made mindful of the security culture and its ramifications. Tending to development of construction wellbeing issues in Pakistan requires cooperation among different partners, including government organizations, construction organizations, worker's guilds, and laborers. In this exploration, a total assessment of the items in current writing, using information from past examinations is led to completely investigate the dangers looked by development laborers in business.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Multisensory design in workplace plays an important role in the sense of wellbeing and sense of coherence of its users. Both are important for workplace productivity and efficiency. Workplace designs are often driven by maximising capacity and corporate identities rather than the need for improving the quality of environments and sense of wellbeing of its users which is critical for optimising workplace productivity. Multisensory design features vary across workplace environments and the response to such may also vary based on the user groups, their background, cultural differences, type of profession or work being performed etc. The study aims to explore multisensory design in workplace and its impact on sense of wellbeing and coherence of its users in a case study of a workplace of academics in a Higher Education Institution. A qualitative approach is used to collect data on user perceptions via in-depth interviews, memory sketching, visual surveys etc. The workplace multisensory design features are assessed using checklists and photographic observations. Findings show that universal factors such as adequate privacy, availability of biophilia, informal interactions in the workplace and the flexibility for personalisation enhanced sense of wellbeing and coherence in workplace., which led to a positive impact on workplace productivity.in the users.

Texte intégralRésumé :
this paper, we present the analysis of the relation between the political self-identification and social wellbeing of politically active youth in Russia. The method we used to study political self-identification included the identification of respondents' political views in the specter of ideologies representing the most established ideological and political trends in the public consciousness. We measured social well-being using a scale from 1 to 5 points to assess subjective satisfaction with the situation in the country in various fields. Although we measured the level of young people security: how do they assess their future - as confident or not? The political activity of Russian youth exists in two forms: "support" and "opposition"- whether they support the authorities or oppose them. Based on this principle, we surveyed two groups of respondents. The first group includes participants of youth organizations actively cooperating with authorities, as well as participants of regional Youth Parliaments, Youth Governments, Youth Public Chambers (active supporters, N=300). The second group includes those young people, which represent the modern youth protest, first of all, volunteers of the Progress Party and the Libertarian Party (active oppositionists, N=300). The study revealed that among active supporters, there are a lot of those who are not following any political ideology (40%) or cannot identify their political and ideological views (17%). Respondents with such position are quite a few among active oppositionists. The significant proportion of active oppositionists share liberal or libertarian views (51%). In both groups, radical views are not popular - almost no one identifies himself with the Communist or Nationalist ideology. We found that several wellbeing indicators have significantly different values in both groups. In particular, young supporters of the authorities are more secure: almost 80% of respondents feel security in one way or another, and only 16% are not secure, while among oppositionists, only 15% fell secure, and more than 80% of oppositionist respondents not feel security. The results of the survey showed that low levels of satisfaction, in general, characterize the social wellbeing of politically active youth. Politically active youth is most critical in the economic sphere of society. If we compare the social wellbeing of the two groups of politically active youth (supporting and opposing authorities), the indicators of satisfaction with the situation in the political, economic, social and cultural spheres of society among active oppositionists are significantly lower than those of supporters. We concluded that there is a relation between the social wellbeing of young people and their self-identification in politics: young people who identify themselves with liberal political views (close to the ideology of liberalism) express pessimistic social sentiment and sharply critical assessment of social wellbeing. Young people with uncertain or "blurred" political orientation, show more optimistic mood and satisfaction with the current situation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Critical infrastructure encompasses those capabilities that are crucial to the state and disruption would have a significant impact and serious consequences for national security, economy, health, safety, security, and human wellbeing. People take critical infrastructure for granted, but it is fraught with great risks. Risk is anything that can prevent the achievement of certain goals and create an outcome that was not foreseen. Just analysing what can happen and acting is called risk management. We find that risk management is becoming an increasingly comprehensive and demanding activity to protect critical infrastructure from emergencies due to intentional or unintentional causing. Improper management can have a negative impact on users, owners, and operators of critical infrastructure. The research used a critical review of secondary sources and a method of synthesis, with the help of which we described why it is necessary to successfully manage risks.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Marae Ora, Kāinga Ora (MOKO) is a marae-led community development and wellbeing research project. Lee-Morgan et al. (2021) explain this three-year research project, stating: “MOKO investigates the potential of five marae to strengthen their provision of kāinga (village, settlement) in the contemporary urban context of South Auckland” (p. 2). Using a Kaupapa Māori (KM) approach to Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), this project explores the ancient Indigenous innovation of marae (both a spiritual and physical location with a socio-cultural setting for Māori to be immersed in a cultural context) and kāinga to understand and co-create new culturally based initiatives and support the activation of community development and wellbeing initiatives. While marae are highly valued by Māori communities as being critical to cultural sustainability and are recognised by government agencies as important community providers, there is a dearth of research about how contemporary urban marae operate and how they can work with, and for, communities (Kawharu, 2014; Tapsell, 2002; Thornley et al., 2015). The MOKO research aim is to enable marae to explore their potential role within their communities, to develop their own interpretation and opportunities for kāinga. These insights influence opportunities to partner with external agencies and services to achieve greater outcomes and collaborative advantages for whānau (family group) and community wellbeing, alongside marae. In brief, the MOKO project is focused on the intergenerational sustainability of the knowledge systems and replenishment of resources inherent within marae, our natural environment and kāinga ora.

Dans Independence and interdependence of sustainable spaces. Faculty of Architecture Research Unit, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31705/faru.2022.10.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The role of architecture in hospitals is a sensitive topic; the prominence given to the programmatic requirements has led to disregard of the in-between function of waiting identified as the user experience in the recovery process. Healing, in other words cure means a state of physical & mental wellbeing that a patient experiences in a hospital. It’s a waiting process between the time of treatment & recovery. The waiting experience in Sri Lankan public hospitals is critical because spaces are designed only prioritizing standards while little consideration is given to the impact of local contextual parameters that generate familiar user experiences. This research investigates the impact of design options derived through principles abstracted by vernacular architecture elements on the waiting experience of patients in healthcare facilities. Vernacular elements of identification of centre and openness, articulation of transition space & domestic scaled spaces was used to interpret design options that can be adapted to reorganize the waiting scenarios of hallway, outpatient, and inpatient waiting spaces. The research further investigate how they will help alleviate the user experience of waiting and increase wellbeing.

Inter-American Development Bank, juillet 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0013053.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Human resources are essential to ensure the quality of long-term care. Yet, there are many things we do not know about the wellbeing, the working conditions, and the training of the caregivers for older people. Our work aims to fill some of the existing knowledge gaps by analyzing new data on the conditions of paid and unpaid caregivers in Latin America and the Caribbean. The new data is generated by a continuous self-administered online survey created by the Inter-American Development Bank, implemented since November 2023 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish in 25 countries. The results highlight the vulnerability of both paid and unpaid caregivers. Paid caregivers typically earn the minimum wage or less. A notable percentage reports episodes of verbal (39%) or physical abuse (14%). Three in ten received no training. Unpaid caregivers are not better off. 31% report feelings of depression and 44% say they had to stop working to provide care for their relatives. Only one in five had any formal training. Given that most long-term carers are women, these results have important implication for gender equality. The findings underscore the pressing need for policies to develop skills and improve working conditions and wellbeing of caregivers, which is further exacerbated by rapid population aging in the region. By shedding light on these critical issues, this work is relevant for the design and implementation of care policies that improve the wellbeing of both older persons and their caregivers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Care work is the heartbeat of every society: it contributes to our wellbeing as a nation and is crucial for our social and economic development. Yet the disproportionate responsibility for unpaid care work results in time poverty and significant opportunity costs, particularly among the poorest and most marginalized women and girls. This policy brief outlines why unpaid care work is a critical development, economic and gender equality issue for Kenya. It draws on two sets of evidence from Oxfam’s Women’s Economic Empowerment and Care (WE-Care) programme, which explore the impact of women and girls’ heavy and unequal unpaid care responsibilities both before and during COVID-19.

Texte intégralRésumé :
What happens in a child’s earliest years lays the foundations for their lifelong wellbeing. Supporting young children and families during this time is therefore critical for individuals, families, communities, and societies more broadly to thrive and flourish. This report shares research findings from the Enabling Early Child Development in Ealing (ECDE) project. It explores the perspectives and experiences of parents/carers with children aged 5 and under, alongside insights from staff from key services on early child development, with the aim of enhancing support in Ealing borough, London. While Ealing is home to a range of formal and informal assets for families and children, there is room to improve, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic which has had a negative impact on the proportion of children meeting key developmental milestones.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Families in Canada, like those in other high-income countries, have undergone major changes in recentdecades. Women are having fewer children and are less likely to get married, resulting in smaller familyhouseholds and a growing proportion of children being raised by single or cohabiting parents. Divorcerates are declining, indicating that couples who do marry are more likely to stay married. Decisionsabout whether and when to marry or to have children are strongly influenced by ever-changingsocioeconomic factors and cultural values. Certain groups, including immigrants, visible minorities, and Indigenous peoples, follow distinctive patterns of family formation. Geography also shapesfamilies. Quebec and Nunavut stand out with very high cohabitation rates, and fertility is roughly 50% higher in rural than in urban Canada. These profound changes and striking variations have critical implications for the wellbeing of children and their families. Understanding these changes and the diversity in family patterns offers important guidance for developing tailored and effectivesocial policies regarding family, health, education, and housing.

Climate Change in Cities and Urban Areas : Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability. Indian Institute for Human Settlements, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.24943/supsv209.2022.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The second volume in the Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) series, Climate Change in Cities and Urban Areas: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, offers a concise and accessible distillation of the IPCC Working Group II Report. Cities are places of high risks from climate change, resulting from the interaction of climate change hazards, the exposure of infrastructure, people and ecosystems, the vulnerability of exposed elements and communities, and the negative or unintended effects of responses to climate change to people and ecosystems. This report assesses the feasibility and effectiveness of different adaptation options but highlights that adaptation has limits and can even lead to maladaptation, triggering unintended effects which increase risk, emissions and lock-ins. It synthesises the latest evidence on the necessary urban-led transformation, as well as evidence on operationalizing the five simultaneous system transitions across land, coastal, ocean and freshwater ecosystems; cities, regions, and infrastructure; energy and industrial systems, accelerated by societal choices. Cities and urban areas have a critical role to play in the climate resilient development needed to meet goals of climate change, human wellbeing, and ecosystem health challenges.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This report presents a detailed examination of reading literacy among primary school pupils in Ireland, focusing on the relationships of a wide range of contextual factors with pupils’ reading achievement. Drawing on data from the 2021 cycle of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), it delves into the demographic backgrounds and home environments of pupils, as well as their wellbeing, reading behaviours and attitudes, and digital attitudes. The report also explores the characteristics of teachers, their instructional approaches, the challenges they encounter in reading instruction, including challenges related to remote teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the composition, resources, and climate of schools. Key trends and international comparisons are presented, offering a global perspective on Ireland’s educational standing.The findings are interpreted in light of national education policies and initiatives, particularly the National Strategy to Improve Literacy and Numeracy (2011-2020), and consider the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education. By identifying critical factors associated with reading achievement, the report provides essential insights into future policy directions and educational practices necessary to support and enhance literacy development in Ireland. It emphasises the importance of addressing inequalities in achievement, ensuring equitable access to educational resources, and adapting to the evolving needs of pupils in a post-pandemic educational environment.

Nolan, Anne, et Emer Smyth. Sexual health literacy and sexual health behaviours among young adults in Ireland. ESRI, février 2025. https://doi.org/10.26504/rs200.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Adolescence and young adulthood are critical periods in the development of healthy sexual health and relationships, as patterns of behaviour that develop during these life stages shape outcomes throughout the life course. Recent rises in notifications of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young people in Ireland have raised concerns over the extent to which young people have the skills and information to make healthy choices in relation to their sexual health and wellbeing. In this context, sexual health literacy – i.e., the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand and use information and services to inform decisions and actions – is a key protective factor for the prevention of negative sexual health outcomes and for allowing young people to be more in control of their own sexual and reproductive health. In this report, we used data from Cohort ’98 of Growing Up in Ireland, the national longitudinal study of children and young people in Ireland, to examine the factors associated with sexual health literacy among young adults, and how sexual health literacy is associated with sexual health behaviours (i.e., condom and contraception use). The Growing Up in Ireland data on sexual health literacy were collected in 2018 when the young people were 20 years of age, and the measure of sexual health literacy was based on answers to two questions that gauged knowledge of female fertility and STI prevention methods.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) was a three-year, CA$25m rapid research initiative that brought together 20 research projects to understand the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic, improve existing responses, and generate better policy options for recovery. The research, funded by the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), took place across 42 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) supported CORE to maximise the learning generated across the research portfolio and deepen engagement with governments, civil society, and the scientific community. This publication celebrates the impact of that research, and highlights Stories of Change from seven of the CORE projects that successfully influenced policy, practice, and understandings of the crisis. Collectively, these individual case studies provide a narrative about the nature of research impact in emergencies and the implications for the design and delivery of future rapid response research initiatives. There are clear lessons around the importance of organisational reputation, and the value of co-designing research with decision makers whilst simultaneously taking a critical position. Every story here emphasises the need to understand political context and to explore the trade-offs between research rigour and the timeliness of evidence. Above all, they illustrate the value of flexible funding arrangements that enable local teams to respond to fast-moving crises. These stories demonstrate unequivocally the value of locally led research responses to emergencies with the right international flow of resources and support. CORE’s research teams were well-placed to bring together communities, civil society organisations, and governments to create a space for vulnerable and marginalised groups to discuss their lived experiences of the pandemic and bring these perspectives into policy conversations. Their success hinged on their hyper-local knowledge and their unswerving focus on providing real-time evidence to advocate for the wellbeing of affected communities.

Here, we assessed selected socio-economic indicators adapted from the Montréal Process for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests (MP) to examine trends in the Swedish forest sector of direct relevance to the EQOs. We did this with the aim of raising awareness about important socio-economic dimensions related to the EQOs, and to explore the linkages between the EQOs and the forest bioeconomy. We focused on the forest sector because of its central importance to meeting the EQOs, and fundamental social and economic roles it plays in Swedish society. The MP was chosen as our guiding framework because it was developed to assess national-level sustainable forest conservation and management, thus, incorporating critical economic, environmental and social dimensions. We applied a mixed methods approach based on a literature review, analyses of national and multilateral databases, and consultation with experts to identify and interpret selected indicators. We identified forest sector socio-economic indicators relevant to the EQOs related to forest property and ownership, economic value and consumption of wood and wood products, employment, wood energy, access to greenery, per capita forest availability, and cultural values. Interpretation of national-level indicators estimated for the 2000-2020 period point to overall progress toward maintaining forest conservation and production areas and a sector that has added substantial economic value through the processing of wood and wood products. Forests are an importance source of renewable energy and increasingly support the location of non-wood energy sources through the placement of wind power mills across forested lands. Downward trends were observed in fewer forest owners, a shrinking workforce, and per capita forest area which might be explained by processes of bequeathing, higher industry efficiencies and continued population growth. Selected indicators related to production forests, wood energy, per capita protected forests and cultural importance suggest these can directly support relevant EQOs including living forests, limited climate impact, rich plant and animal life. Through exports and hiring foreign workers, the Swedish forest sector has kept a direct linkage with the consumption of wood products abroad and in supporting economic wellbeing in lesser-developed nations through wages from forestry and non-wood seasonal employment, respectively. There is limited current information on cultural aspects such as heritage values and reindeer herding. Available data suggest a declining trend in damages to cultural remains within forest felling areas. We recommend regular and periodic assessment of the cultural and conservation values for Swedish forests to strengthen the ability to assess social and ecological sustainability relevant to the EQOs.
