Introduction to the Five Ways to Well-being toolkit
Published in Rose Cull, Daniel Cull, Museums and Well-being, 2023
First, let’s outline the well-being models that have been built upon to make the Five Ways to Well-being. The tripartite model of subjective well-being measures subjective well-being from life satisfactions, positive affect and negative affect. Subjective Well-Being (SWB) was revolutionary because it placed people at the centre of measuring their well-being, instead of measurements like educational achievement, material well-being, employment or crime.4 Person-centred approaches are also called nondirective in psychotherapy, and they refer to therapy during which a counsellor will encourage a client to expound upon what they have said by repeating back what the client has said to the counsellor. This method avoids interpretation or suggestions and instead allows a client to explore their thoughts through dialogue.

Positive psychology is defined as a science that focuses on human strengths to increase well-being and flourishing in individuals and groups. It is linked to positive health—the concept that subjective well-being is a “health asset” that protects against risk of physical illness (20).

In contrast, Disabato, Goodman, Kashdan, Short, and Jarden (2016) found that a one-factor model of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being worked equally well as a two-factor model. Moreover, in the two-factor solution, the factors were strongly correlated and had a high shared variance, thus supporting the closeness of the two concepts, as there is substantial overlap. These findings complicate the discussion on whether there are two independent approaches to happiness and suggests that more research is required to settle the question. Recent definitions of subjective well-being, like the one proposed by the OECD (2013), acknowledge that both approaches form an integral part of a comprehensive conceptualisation of individual well-being.

Recently, positive psychology has emerged as an effective intervention for preventing psychosis by promoting positive emotions and well-being (Slade et al., 2016). In positive psychology, mental health refers to a state of maximising individual’s strengths, not the absence of symptom remission and deficiencies. As the Mental Health Act in Korea was amended to promote human rights in 2017, the desire for recovery-oriented services from disease-centred approach has increased (Ha, 2019), leading to an interest in positive psychology. Positive psychotherapy has attempted an empirical approach to promote well-being. The concepts of well-being in positive psychology include subjective well-being and psychological well-being. Subjective well-being refers to the subjective psychological state of experiencing a positive life, and it is evaluated as positive emotions, negative emotions, and life satisfaction (Diener, 1994). Subjective well-being plays a role in enhancing life satisfaction by increasing positive emotions (Diener, 1994). On the other hand, psychological well-being reflects the adequate functioning level and the state of adaptation and comprises of six elements: self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth (Ryff, 2014). Psychological well-being is an important concept that helps people with psychosis discover the purpose of life and reach recovery (Ryan & Deci, 2001).

As stated by Popenoe and Whitehead (1999), in the contemporary society, for many individuals, marriage is no more considered as a social structure which is built for the purpose of successful child rearing (Smock, 2000), rather marriage is now considered more like an intimate relationship in which sexual intimacy and close friendship are the highly valued aspects. A satisfying intimate relationship significantly influences an individuals’ subjective well-being, provides social support, functions as a significant source of happiness, and improves the quality of life (Akpan & Ottu, 2011). Be, Whisman, and Uebelacker (2013) concluded that marital satisfaction and life satisfaction function as correlates even years after marriage. Moreover, marital satisfaction of each partner can increase life satisfaction in the other.

Globally, physician well-being has garnered increasing research attention in recent years. This reflects the alarming rates of psychological distress [1,2], suicidal ideation [3], and suicide among physicians [4], in addition to the associated negative impact on patient care and healthcare systems [5]. Subjective well-being is a broad concept consisting of positive affect, life satisfaction, fulfilment and positive functioning, as well as the absence of negative emotions [6]. The importance of promoting well-being among healthcare professionals has been amplified by the current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighting concerns about the potential negative ramifications of this unprecedented crisis on the psychological well-being of healthcare providers [7]. A meta-analysis conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak reported that among 79,437 healthcare workers across 24 countries, the pooled prevalence of psychological distress was 46.1%, stress 40.3%, burnout 37.4%, anxiety 34.4%, depression 31.8%, insomnia 27.8% and post-traumatic stress syndrome 11.4% [8]. Consequently, the academe is called to respond by identifying strategies to enhance well-being among healthcare professionals.
