“…For example, loneliness and attachment anxiety, which presumably involve experiences of relatedness frustration, as well as financial strain, which likely engenders experiences of autonomy frustration, have been found to relate to poorer sleep (Burgard & Ailshire, 2009;Carmichael & Reis, 2005). Further, the frustration of psychological needs is associated with stress, negative affect (Deci & Ryan 2000) and reduced vitality (Chen, Yao, & Yan, 2014), all of which negatively relate to sleep outcomes (Fuligni & Hardway, 2006;Stewart et al, 2011;Visser, Hirsch, Brown, Ryan, & Moynihan, 2014). Presumably, when individuals fail to get their psychological needs met, they have more negative experiences to handle which may increase pre-sleep arousal through worry and stress and in this way negatively influence sleep.…”

Stress is prevalent among older informal carers and has been shown to lead to negative developments in physical and psychological health, as well as overall wellbeing. One area of wellbeing that can be impacted is sleep, with high stress levels leading to poor sleep and poor sleep causing stress. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have grown in popularity in recent years and have been shown to reduce stress and increase quality of life among older informal carers. MBIs delivered digitally have the potential to be used by and be of benefit to a wide group of people. Based on the apparent gaps in the literature concerning the area of mobile device/computer-mediated MBIs for older informal carers, further research is needed in this area. An opportunity also lies in the use of wearable activity trackers to monitor any potential improvements in sleep, due to reduced stress. This paper focuses on the design of a digital application delivering MBIs, to support older informal carers to manage stress and sleep. We describe a qualitative study with older informal carers and the resulting digital application while outlining how this system will be trialled with 15 older informal carers over a 12-week period with a view to reducing stress and improving overall wellbeing.

“…In this context, well-being has been an important area of study 2 , since people, in addition to prefer to live longer, also want to do it with more quality of life 3 . Thus, subjective vitality, defined as a conscious experience of energy and vivacity 4 , is considered as part of the eudaimonic perspective of well-being, since the sensations of possession of energy and vitality are characteristics of perfect health 5 , reflecting an organismic state, as it can be affected by psychological and somatic factors 4 .…”

-The main aim of the study was to validate the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale -SVS for the Portuguese elderly population through of confirmatory factorial analysis. The existence of differences in the perception of subjective vitality among sufficiently active and insufficiently active older adults was also analyzed. A total of 309 Portuguese elderly (242 females, 67 males) aged 60-90 years (M = 68.59, SD = 6.60) participated in this study. Of the total sample, 256 are sufficiently active, while 53 are insufficiently active. The results show that the model was adjusted to data in a satisfactory way (χ² = 28.95; df = 9; CFI = .97; TLI = .94; SRMR = .04; RMSEA = .08; RMSEA 90% CI = .05 -.12), and show a concurrent validity with the Portuguese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data obtained allow us concluding that the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale can be used as a measure of subjective vitality in the Portuguese elderly population. It was also verified that the subjective perception of vitality is greater among individuals sufficiently active compared with their peers that do not reach the amount of practice of recommended physical activity.Key words: Elderly; Factor analysis; Motor activity; Quality of Life.
