(1) Purpose: The purpose of our research is to understand the subjective well-being (SWB) of Chinese adult residents and its influencing factors and to identify the key groups and areas to provide a basis for the formulation of relevant policies to improve residents’ happiness. (2) Methods: In this study, we analyzed the influencing factors of SWB of individuals older than 16 years of age, according to the 2014 China Family Panel Study (CFPS). We weighted 27,706 samples in the database to achieve the purpose of representing the whole country. Finally, descriptive statistics were used for the population distribution, chi-square tests were used for univariable analysis, and binary logistic models were used for multivariable analysis. (3) Results: The response rate of SWB was 74.58%. Of the respondents, 71.2% had high SWB (7–10), with a U-shaped distribution between age and SWB. Females are more likely than males to rate themselves as happy. There is a positive ratio between years of education and SWB. Residents who have better self-evaluated income, self-rated health (SRH), psychological well-being (PWB), Body Mass Index (BMI), social trust, social relationships, and physical exercise have higher SWB. (4) Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate that to improve residents’ SWB, we should focus more attention on middle-aged and low-income groups, particularly men in agriculture. The promotion of SWB should be facilitated by improvements in residents’ education, health status, and social support as well as by the promotion of smoking bans and physical exercise.

Conceptual Background

This study examines the conceptual background to specific aspects of competitiveness and examines one of the fundamental models for improving regional competitiveness. Regional competitiveness is an important factor of achieving economic growth and increasing the well-being. It plays a decisive role in enhancing the productivity and the economic performance of state and business enterprises and can also be used as a measure for the success of these enterprises as well as the proxy for their degree of openness to national and international competition and foreign trade. Furthermore, we present a theory of the movement of labour capital between regions and countries. Moreover, we show that factor allocation deviates from the most efficient outcome when the market is not working.

Health And Well Being

Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with health and well-being. Recent findings show that PA tracking using technological devices can enhance PA behavior. Consumer devices can track many different parameters affecting PA (e.g., number of steps, distance, and heart rate). However, it remains unclear what factors affect the usage of such devices. In this study, we evaluated whether there was a change in usage behavior across the first weeks of usage. Further we investigated whether external factors such as weather and day of the week influence usage behavior. Thirty nine participants received a Fitbit Charge 2 fitness tracker for a nine-week period. All participants were asked to wear the device according to their wishes. The usage time and amount of PA were assessed, and the influencing factors, such as weather conditions and day of the week, were analyzed. The results showed that usage behavior differed largely between individuals and decreased after five weeks of usage. Moreover, the steps per worn hour did not change significantly, indicating a similar amount of activity across the nine-week period when wearing the device. Further influencing factors were the day of the week (the tracker was used less on Sundays) and the temperature (usage time was lower with temperatures >25°). Tracking peoples’ activity might have the potential to evaluate different interventions to increase PA.

PurposeThe healthcare sector is experiencing a major paradigm shift toward a people-centered approach. The key issue with transitioning to a people-centered approach is a lack of understanding of the ever-increasing role of technology in blended human-technology healthcare interactions and the impacts on healthcare actors' well-being. The purpose of the paper is to identify the key mechanisms and influencing factors through which blended service realities affect engaged actors' well-being in a healthcare context.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper takes a human-centric perspective and a value co-creation lens and uses theory synthesis and adaptation to investigate blended human-technology service realities in healthcare services.FindingsThe authors conceptualize three blended human-technology service realities – human-dominant, balanced and technology-dominant – and identify two key mechanisms – shared control and emotional-social and cognitive complexity – and three influencing factors – meaningful human-technology experiences, agency and DART (dialogue, access, risk, transparency) – that affect the well-being outcome of engaged actors in these blended human-technology service realities.Practical implicationsManagerially, the framework provides a useful tool for the design and management of blended human-technology realities. The paper explains how healthcare services should pay attention to management and interventions of different services realities and their impact on engaged actors. Blended human-technology reality examples – telehealth, virtual reality (VR) and service robots in healthcare – are used to support and contextualize the study’s conceptual work. A future research agenda is provided.Originality/valueThis study contributes to service literature by developing a new conceptual framework that underpins the mechanisms and factors that influence the relationships between blended human-technology service realities and engaged actors' well-being.

The commute well-being (CWB) has been associated with the mental health and depends on the positive or negative emotions that occur during the daily commute. This paper analyzes the influencing factors and discusses the structural relationship between CWB and influencing factors, based on our evaluation of the results for daily CWB between different travel modes. We based our analyses on a CWB survey conducted in the central city proper of Xi’an. In contrast to previous studies, this paper investigates two commuting phases, in the morning and evening, to better analyze daily CWB. To conduct a more comprehensive analysis, in addition to considering multi-stage combined travel, the subjective and objective aspects of factors influencing CWB were deepened and expanded. The measurement was based on the Satisfaction with Travel Scale, which was developed based on a method for measuring subjective well-being. The average CWB level of each model was compared by analyzing the variances. The influencing factors were determined by stepwise regression, and the influence mechanism was analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). The results indicate that CWB in Xi’an was highest for walking, which was followed, in order, by motorcycle, electric bicycle, staff shuttle bus, bicycle, metro, car, taxi, and bus. The result reflects that commuting by bus is associated with more negative emotions in Xi’an. The results of SEM indicate that the built environment does not directly affect CWB, but it will act on CWB by affecting other factors. The travel attitude, commute mode choice, and other travel characteristics affect each other and affect CWB directly and indirectly. Other travel characteristics has the largest total effect on CWB, and the travel attitudes have the largest direct effect. Without considering the travel attitude, reducing traffic congestion, commuting time, and transfer times can significantly improve CWB and reduce negative emotions in the future in Xi’an.

BACKGROUND: The unique burden of treatment and survivorship of patients with bladder cancer can negatively impact caregiver experience and their use of supportive care resources. OBJECTIVE: To assess caregivers’ well-being and their perception of potential supportive resources. METHODS: In this cross-sectional survey, caregivers of patients with bladder cancer (N = 630) were recruited through the nationwide Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network Patient Survey Network. We used stakeholder-developed questionnaires to examine caregiver well-being (i.e., physical well-being, tiredness, fear, worry, sadness), the perceived helpfulness of potential resources (i.e., web-based and print-based information, specialized support, personal stories of other caregivers, phone-call and online chat with other caregivers), and influencing factors. RESULTS: Caregivers more frequently reported emotional well-being as a moderate to serious problem (67% for fear, 78% for worry, 66% for sadness) compared with physical well-being (30% ) and tiredness (47% ). Decreased well-being was associated with female gender of the caregiver, higher than high school education, or caring for a patient with advanced (versus non-invasive) bladder cancer. Of six potential resources, “web-based information” was perceived as “very helpful” among 79% of respondents, followed by “personal stories from other caregivers” (62% ). Caregiver preferences for “web-based information” was not associated with any specific demographic or clinical factors. CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers reported moderate to serious problems with emotional and physical well-being. Web-based platforms were perceived as beneficial supportive resources for bladder cancer caregivers. Future intervention research should target the influencing factors identified in this study to optimize the health outcomes of caregivers and enhance the supportive care resources for improving their well-being.

Main Factors

Cultural and entertainment facilities are an important mainstay for urban development and the well-being of urban residents. Studying their spatial distribution is thus of great significance for improving urban functions and shaping urban characteristics. This paper uses the Simpson index, grid method, kernel density, nearest neighbor analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis to present in detail the spatial pattern, hotspot distribution and clustering characteristics of urban cultural and entertainment facilities in Beijing. With the help of the spatial lag model, the main factors affecting the spatial distribution of the facilities are explored. The results are as follows: Different types of cultural and entertainment facilities have different spatial agglomeration effects, which are closely related to the historical background of Beijing, industrial distribution, and the living needs of residents; the facilities generally present a spatial distribution with prominent centrality, strong clustering and significant heterogeneity; and financial insurance institution density, building density, securities company density, housing rent and distance to nearest scenic spot are the main factors affecting the distribution of the facilities. Analyzing the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of urban cultural and entertainment facilities in Beijing will provide typical cases and decision-making references that can underpin the informed layout and planning of urban cultural and entertainment industries and facilities.
