“…By contrast, our Chinese PPP trial had a larger sample size (n=154 versus n=94 in UK trial), and the primary outcome of well-being was significantly improved, possibly due to our larger sample size and more collectivist culture of Hong Kong supporting the use of group therapies. Another Hong Kong study evaluating the impact of a 'Five Ways to Wellbeing' program in acute psychiatric settings showed significant improvement of mental well-being and hope at follow-up (Ng et al, 2015). The study used a prospective cohort rather than a randomized controlled trial design, and also showed improvements in well-being and hope were also found to predict reduce clinic attendance and re-admission rates six months after discharge.…”

“…An evaluation of the Wheel of Well‐being in the United Kingdom demonstrated smaller changes in well‐being amongst participants between attendance at a single seminar and 3 months later 25 . Similar implementation of frameworks based on the five Ways to Wellbeing have been conducted in a range of formats, such as public health campaigns 26,27 . There is now a small, but growing evidence base for such frameworks, but further studies should seek to understand the most effective way to engage individuals and communities in the WoW framework and its cultural appropriateness and application across population groups.…”

“…25 Similar implementation of frameworks based on the five Ways to Wellbeing have been conducted in a range of formats, such as public health campaigns. 26,27 There is now a small, but growing evidence base for such frameworks, but further studies should seek to understand the most effective way to engage individuals and communities in the WoW framework and its cultural appropriateness and application across population groups. Nevertheless, the literature suggests the development of well-being knowledge could empower individuals to support well-being in their community, becoming an agent of social change and potentially having wider societal impact, as has been seen in the qualitative review of this programme.…”

Issues Addressed: Well-being intervention frameworks may help improve well-being.The Wheel of Well-being (WoW) is designed to empower individuals to understand and use the WoW framework for themselves, their communities and in workplaces.This paper evaluates the well-being impacts on participants of a well-being capacity building programme using WoW, in Australia. Methods:The programme collected quantitative data from participants at two time points, once at the beginning of the programme (Time 1) and on the final session (Time 2). Surveys assessed well-being outcomes as well as life satisfaction, knowledge and understanding of well-being and behavioural changes.Results: Results of a total of 162 participants were included in this evaluation of the programme across nine cohorts. Between Time 1 and Time 2 the participants saw a small, but significant increase in well-being scores, with no difference between age groups. The number of participants regarded as having a "High" well-being score increased from 11% to 24%. Increases in knowledge, understanding and the implementation of actions and behaviours to improve well-being were also observed. Conclusion:This evaluation provides evidence that participation in a short, intensive WoW programme can positively impact well-being, behaviour and knowledge and understanding regarding well-being. This suggests WoW may be an effective framework around which individuals can improve their well-being.So What?: Consideration should be given to the implementation of comprehensive health promotion frameworks, including WoW, to improve the well-being of individuals. Further evaluation is needed to see if improved well-being is maintained over longer time periods.

“…First published in 2010 (Rath et al , 2010), the Five Ways to Wellbeing (FWTW) is a framework comprising five evidence-based actions widely used in promoting wellbeing (Abdallah et al , 2014). The five components of the framework include: connecting with others; being active; taking notice (aware of surroundings); keep learning; and giving (volunteering, doing good deeds for others) (Ng et al , 2015). …”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline a research protocol for an initial investigation into the efficacy of an early-development gamified intervention (“Wellbeing Town”) designed with potential end-users with the aim of improving adult wellbeing. Rationale for the proposed research is discussed along with a summary of the planned methodological approach. Design/methodology/approach Preliminary evaluation of “Wellbeing Town” is proposed to begin using a quasi-experiment, pre- vs post-intervention repeated-measures design with follow-up. Evaluation of changes in self-reported wellbeing will be supplemented with an investigation into the extent of self-directed play between post-intervention and follow-up, and its implications for follow-up outcome. Findings As this paper represents a protocol for future evaluation, no data is reported presently. The authors present the protocol for data analysis. Originality/value Once concluded, this study represents an initial evaluation of a gamified tool for adult wellbeing designed in conjunction with potential end-users. Should the game elicit significant improvements to wellbeing when played, proposals for further evaluation and possible future scalability are presented.
