online well-being surveys

env2.jpg

nef would like to explore designing questionnaires to assess an organisation's well-being - a well-being audit.  If you are interested in this as a project please contact Nic Marks. 

One of the major challenges faced by the Health Service is understanding, identifying and addressing the psycho-social factors that are associated with being positively healthy, and as a result at lower risk of physical and mental illness. 

In the last few years evidence has increasingly shown that people’s sense of well-being is related to their physical health, including the dramatic finding that 'happy' people live up to seven years longer than 'unhappy' people.   nef and NHS Dumfries and Galloway are seeking to develop new questionniares to assess levels of well-being locally, and provide insight into appropriate policy interventions to raise people’s well-being.  It is currently envisioned that these instruments might be used at both a general population level and to help tailor individual programmes.

Please take a few moments to complete the pilot survey

This pilot survey is designed to explore the links between people's health and their well-being. The survey uses a model of need-satisfaction to explore the links and also seeks to identify potential non-medical solutions to health issues.

It will eventually provide immediate real-time feedbak to respondents, but before we can do this we need to create a base of responses with which to compare individual reponses to.

There is an option to request feedback, which we will be able to offer in late summer.

If you have any queries on this area of nef's work, please contact Nic Marks
