Health And Well Being

Natural environments have been shown to promote health, and are, therefore, important for achieving social sustainability in cities. As cities grow and become denser, it is important to develop knowledge about the characteristics of natural environments that work to promote health. Perceived Sensory Dimensions (PSDs) is a tool that defines eight different cultural ecosystem services. They correspond to different human needs (rest, exercise, socialising, pleasure, or security) resulting in rehabilitation and health and well-being promotion. An experiment was conducted to study the potential of PSDs to restore people who experienced stressful accidents. One hundred and fifty-seven participants were recruited and asked first to watch a film clip of serious accidents, then to look at the pictures, depicting one particular type of PSDs, while listening to its respective audio recording. Their stress levels were measured before exposure to the stressor (baseline), after exposure to the stressor (pre-test), and after exposure to a particular type of PSDs (post-test). The results show that all eight PSDs effectively provide mental recovery, but there are statistical differences in their potentials. As such, it is proposed that the combined potential of the PSDs is needed, and should be used to increase the capacity and supply of health-promoting urban green areas.

The goal of this chapter is to show how a sense of meaning in life acts in concert with the dimensions of religion that have been discussed so far to affect health. The discussion that follows is divided into two sections. The extensive body of research that links meaning with health and well-being is examined first. Following this, three submodels are introduced that provide further insight into how meaning in life might affect health. The first submodel brings gratitude and prayer to the foreground. The second submodel focuses on the relationships among meaning in life, proactive coping responses, and health behavior. The third submodel brings issues involving the interface between meaning in life, negative aspects of religious life (e.g., religious doubt), and health-related outcomes.

Itextends to the human being and contributes to his physical and mental healthand well-being. This question is: How does the Qur’an heal? and how doesit promote health and well-being?The Qur’an achieves its healing and health promoting effect by utilizingthree different approaches: the legal approach, the guiding approach, and thedirect healing approach. The legal approach is through the provision of legislationprohibiting matters which are hazardous to health and enjoining matterswhich promote health. This legislation has a direct impact on the health ofthe individual. The guiding approach is through the provision of general rulesand regulations which guide the individual in the conduct of his or her dailyaffairs. This guidance has an indirect positive effect on the health and wellbeingof the individual. The third approach is through the direct healing effectof the Qur’an on the various organs of the human body.The first two approaches, the legislation and guidance have been very muchknown and well understood for years, although some new discoveries haveadded an exciting twist in our understanding in these areas.

BACKGROUND: Office workers spend significant time in sedentary behaviors. Exploration of interventions to address this concern is warranted. OBJECTIVE: This study explored the impact of individualized goals and ergonomic modifications on sedentary behaviors and perceived health and well-being among office workers. METHODS: A six-week, one-group, pre- and post-test design was utilized to assess sedentary behaviors and perceptions of health and well-being among office workers using the RAND 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ), actigraphy, and a workstation assessment. RESULTS: Statistically significant improvements were noted from pre- to post-test on the RAND SF-36 for energy/fatigue (p = 0.000) and emotional well-being (p = 0.049) and subjective sleep quality using the PSQI (p = 0.005). Participants (n = 17) could set up to two goals related to health and well-being. A majority of the 31 established goals were met: increase physical activity (n = 11/16), reduce sedentary behavior (n = 8/11), and improve personal health (n = 3/4). CONCLUSIONS: The use of individualized goals and ergonomic modifications is effective for addressing perceived health and well-being among office workers. However, limited statistical significance was found regarding the impact of these interventions on sedentary behaviors or activity levels.

Background: Expressed breast milk can be a healthy feeding option as compared to formula for working mothers. A large number of mothers are working these days and despite their desire to breastfeed, mothers have to get back to their work because of various constraints.Objectives: The research objective was to assess the status of knowledge and attitude regarding expressed breastfeeding and to identify the barriers to expressed breastfeeding among working mothers visiting Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Pediatric Outpatient Department of Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital from June 2018 till December 2018. One hundred and eighty working mothers were chosen purposively and interviewed. Research instrument was a structured questionnaire containing questions about technique of pumping and storing breast milk, benefits of breastfeeding, attitude regarding expressed breastfeeding and reasons for not expressing breast milk. Mean standard deviation and Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis.Results: Out of 180 mothers, half of the mothers had adequate knowledge regarding expressed breastfeeding while slightly more than half of them (52.2%) had negative attitude about it. Only 11.7% of the mothers shared that they had expressed breast milk ever. The most important reason for not expressing breast milk was stated to be inadequate breast milk production (30.7%) and lack of time (26.4%).Conclusion: The study concludes that about half of the working mothers have adequate knowledge and positive attitude regarding expressed breastfeeding.

Within the field of environmental psychology, a theoretical perspective on the health effects of nature has developed. This chapter begins with a discussion of theories on scenic beauty and environmental preference as a backdrop for understanding which environments are benign for human health and well-being. It then reports on theories on the restorative, or stress-relieving, effects of contact with natural environments. The third section discusses advances in environmental psychology, including theories on basic visual processes that may underlie restoration. The chapter concludes with some closing comments regarding the contribution of environmental psychology to health promotion, along with suggestions for new directions in theorizing and empirical research.
