What is well-being?
Well-being constitutes physical, mental, and social stability that extends beyond the traditional definitions of health. It is comprised of the presence of positive emotions such as happiness; the absence of negative emotions such as anxiety; satisfaction with life, fulfillment and positive functioning.1
How do we measure it?
Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS)
The Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) is a shortened version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). It measures both mental and emotional well-being (how “good” somebody feels) and psychological functioning (how well somebody thinks they are functioning). This scale is suitable for ages 13-74 years and works well as a “before” and “after” tool to measure change in well-being during an intervention or specific program (summative assessment).Show More

Perceived Stress Scale
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is the most widely used psychological instrument for measuring the perception of stress. It is a measure of the degree to which situations in one’s life are appraised as stressful. Items were designed to tap how unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded respondents find their lives. The scale also includes a number of direct queries about current levels of experienced stress. The questions in the PSS ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month. In each case, respondents are asked how often they felt a certain way.Show More
