“…Studies rarely report intervention costs (Hone, Jarden, & Schofield, ), but for most of these interventions, there are expenses involved in organizational implementation. They may include the costs of hiring intervention facilitators or coaches, building and maintaining support infrastructure (e.g., an outdoor green space and an online intervention platform), and promoting the intervention to employees.…”

Building personal resources through interventions: An integrative review

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, a variety of disparate literatures have emerged to test interventions intended to increase individuals' psychological, cognitive, and physiological resources. Although many of these interventions were originally designed for individual or clinical use, a growing number of commentators have called for their adoption in organizations. But controversy remains about their efficacy in the workplace. We review the research literature on 6 interventions that have been used to build volatile personal resources: malleable, individual‐level constructs that are vital for withstanding work stress and proximal to work outcomes. In so doing, we evaluate the generalizability of these interventions to organizational settings, along with their potential benefits and costs. Our findings highlight new opportunities for both research and practice.

“…Life satisfaction is a valid variable to predict health and mortality for older adults controlling for the other variable (Diener and Chan 2011;Wiest et al 2011). However, in these studies there was generally a lack of rationalisation for the choice of psychometric tools, but also the use of different tools made it difficult to compare the studies (Hone et al 2014).…”

The Impact of Positive Psychological Interventions on Well-Being in Healthy Elderly People

2016

This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of positive psychological interventions (PPIs) on well-being in healthy older adults. Systematic review of PPIs obtained from three electronic databases (PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science) was undertaken. Inclusion criteria were: that they were positive psychology intervention, included measurement of well-being, participants were aged over 60 years, and the studies were in English. The cochrane collaboration Guidelines dimensions of quality control, randomization, comparability, follow-up rate, dropout, blinding assessors are used to rate the quality of studies by two reviewers independently. The reach, efficacy, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) for evaluation of PPIs effectiveness was also applied. The final review included eight articles, each describing a positive psychological intervention study. The reminiscence interventions were the most prevalent type of PPIs to promote and maintain well-being in later life. Only two studies were rated as high quality, four were of moderate-quality and two were of low-quality. Overall results indicated that efficacy criteria (89 %), reach criteria (85 %), adoption criteria (73 %), implementation criteria (67 %), and maintenance criteria (4 %) across a variety of RE-AIM dimensions. Directions for future positive psychological research related to RE-AIM, and implications for decision-making, are described.& Pitchada Sutipan

“…Mental health promotion (MHP) programs for adults have shown promising results in efficacy studies, but research on their effectiveness in real-life settings remains scarce [1]. Most of the existing interventions have been studied in controlled settings with homogenous groups subject to rigorous selection criteria, and few employed intention-to-treat analyses for outcome reporting, all of which might result in an overestimation of the true effects if the intervention was provided in more ecologically valid settings.To date, no published effectiveness trial exists for a multisite MHP program open to the general public.…”
