Study Notes
Subjective Well-Being
- Subjective well-being is defined by individual assessments of life satisfaction and happiness, emphasizing personal emotional experiences.
- Measures include life satisfaction, emotional well-being, and positive affect; meaningful work is related to eudaimonic well-being, not subjective well-being.
- Close, supportive relationships significantly enhance subjective well-being, highlighting the importance of social connections.
- Self-report surveys and questionnaires are common methods for assessing subjective well-being, allowing individuals to express their feelings about happiness and life satisfaction.
- A criticism of subjective well-being as a societal progress measure is its potential neglect of structural issues such as inequality and overall resource access.
Eudaimonic Well-Being
- Eudaimonic well-being centers on the pursuit of meaning, purpose, and personal growth, in contrast to mere pleasure.
- Characteristics of eudaimonic well-being include self-actualization, where individuals strive to fulfill their potential and lead meaningful lives.
- Aristotle emphasized that achieving eudaimonia involves living virtuously and recognizing one’s potential instead of seeking only pleasure or wealth.
- The distinction between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being lies in hedonic well-being focusing on pleasure and happiness, while eudaimonic well-being focuses on meaning and self-fulfillment.
- Activities aligned with personal values that promote growth significantly enhance eudaimonic well-being, rather than engaging merely in short-term pleasures.
Palliative Care
- Palliative care is centered on providing comfort and improving quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, as opposed to curing the illness.
- Goals of palliative care include managing pain and distressing symptoms, supporting emotional and spiritual well-being, and assisting with care decision-making; it does not aim to hasten death.
- Any patient with a serious illness can benefit from palliative care, regardless of the illness stage; it is not limited to end-of-life situations.
- A multidisciplinary team in palliative care includes healthcare professionals, social workers, and chaplains to meet the comprehensive needs of patients holistically.
- Key differentiation between palliative care and hospice care is that palliative care can be initiated at diagnosis and coexist with curative treatments, while hospice care is typically reserved for end-of-life scenarios focusing solely on comfort.
