“…Indeed, our findings are consistent with a study of 23,000 Australians which suggested that the 'saddest' people resided in more affluent areas, such as Sydney, while the 'happiest' people resided in poorer regional towns. 26 This is also concordant with cross-national surveys of happiness, where middle-income countries score highest. Our data suggest that there may be a need to improve accessibility to programs and services associated with psychological health, with specific attention directed toward increasing the acceptability of these services by men.…”

“…Furthermore, there is a lack of Australian data in this field of enquiry, despite a large Australian study showing that those residing in affluent cities are more likely to be 'unhappy' compared to those residing in poor regional towns. 26 It is therefore necessary to clarify any association between QOL and area-based SES, especially in Australian men, where such data are limited. We undertook this study to investigate the association between QOL, using the WHOQOL-BREF, and different levels of area-based SES in a randomly selected, population-based sample of Australian men.…”

“…Like the fictional character Superman, who has the legendary ability to leap over tall buildings in a single bound, some researchers have attempted to employ a single question to capture the essence of this complex construct [1,2].

Abstract:The Four Domains Model of Spiritual Health and Well-Being was used as the theoretical base for the development of several spiritual well-being questionnaires, with progressive fine-tuning leading to the Spiritual Health And Life-Orientation Measure (SHALOM). SHALOM comprises 20 items with five items reflecting the quality of relationships of each person with themselves, other people, the environment and/or God, in the Personal, Communal, Environmental and Transcendental domains of spiritual well-being. SHALOM has undergone rigorous statistical testing in several languages. SHALOM has been used with school and university students, teachers, nurses, medical doctors, church-attenders, in industry and business settings, with abused women, troubled youth and alcoholics. SHALOM provides a unique way of assessing spiritual well-being as it compares each person's ideals with their lived experiences, providing a measure of spiritual harmony or dissonance in each of the four domains.

(Cummins et al, 2003). El instrumento a nivel internacional es conocido como International Wellbeing Index e incluye dos sub-escalas: la personal y la nacional.…”

ResumenEl estudio de la calidad de vida remite al entorno material (bienestar social) y al entorno psicosocial (bienestar psicológico). En 1995 se funda la International Society for Quality of Life Studies (ISQOLS) con el objetivo de incentivar el desarrollo de estudios acerca de la calidad de vida a nivel mundial, a partir de estimular investigaciones interdisciplinarias, convirtiéndose en un forum internacional para los investigadores de diferentes partes del planeta dedicados al tema. En la actualidad se define a la Calidad de vida incluyendo las circunstancias y las percepciones de las personas, sus sentimientos y reacciones a esas circunstancias, existiendo índices que combinan mediciones objetivas y subjetivas. En el caso de Argentina, a partir del año 2004, se organizó en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Lomas de Zamora el Programa de Investigación en Calidad de vida que forma parte de la red internacional de investigación con el objetivo de desarrollar proyectos en las distintas áreas de estudio de la calidad de vida, tendientes a ser considerados por los organismos estatales de generación de políticas públicas, como una información innovadora a las mediciones de bienestar social de tipo tradicional. Palabras clave: calidad de vida, bienestar subjetivo, políticas públicas Abstract Researching quality of life in ArgentinaThe study of quality of life considers at the same time objective and subjective circumstances of people life.
