Understanding the impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) requires broad evaluation of how functional limitations of PAD affect patients' perceptions of health-related quality of life (HRQL). The objective of this study was to describe the development, testing, and psychometric properties of the PAD Quality of Life Questionnaire (PADQOL). The PADQOL was developed in three steps: (1) interviews of symptomatic PAD patients provided content of the initial questionnaire; (2) co-administration with the SF-36 (a 36-item short-form health survey), Walking Impairment Questionnaire, and Profile of Mood States examined construct validity; and (3) a three-phased factor analysis identified factors and shortened the questionnaire. Data analyses from 297 symptomatic PAD patients resulted in a 38-item questionnaire of five factors: Social relationships and interactions, Self-concept and feelings, Symptoms and limitations in physical functioning, Fear and uncertainty, and Positive adaptation (α = 0.92-0.73) and items related to sexual function, intimate relationships and employment. Between-instrument correlations established construct validity. In conclusion, PADQOL is a validated measure to assess the disease-specific physical, psychosocial and emotional effects of PAD for research and practice.

“…Air pollution can significantly affect both human health and subjective wellbeing. There is evidence that health and SWB may also equally affect each other [90]. For instance, positive emotions and optimism as factors of SWB can have a positive influence on health [91].…”

Clean air is considered as one of the basic requirements for human being. Pollution-related diseases due to air pollution continue to rise at an alarming rate and affect people's quality of life. Air pollution also adversely affects welfare inequality. Air pollution as a significant risk factor affects health and sense of subjective well-being (SWB). In this study, the effect of air pollution on subjective well-being (life satisfaction, happiness, and optimism) is investigated. Relationship between well-being and air quality is a fundamental issue to design public policies. Hence, the studies about the link are of grooving interest in the literature. The results show that air pollutants have an effect on subjective well-being. The link between life satisfaction and happiness is very strong. Optimism is also positively correlated with life satisfaction and happiness. Good air quality and optimism make people happier. Air quality is likely to have an effect on people's sense of life satisfaction, happiness, and optimistic view. The results indicate that the PM 2.5 level is significantly and negatively related to on optimism. It is obvious that there is a very strong relationship between air quality and subjective wellbeing. Relationship between wellbeing and air quality is a fundamental issue to design public policies.

“…Many researchers study antecedents of happiness which range from health (Okun et al, 1984), personality traits (DeNeve & Cooper, 1998), genetics (DeNeve, 2011), economic factors (Diener et al, 1995), and attachment to other people in general (Ryan & Deci, 2001, p. 154). Only two papers were found on the relationship between attachment styles and well-being, especially in relation to immigrants and ethnic groups in the Netherlands.…”

We first seek to explore the relationship between attachment styles of professional financial service customers and their ability to experience customer satisfaction and build relationships with a commercial bank. Secure attached people identify with the commercial bank, feel satisfied and are loyal with the commercial bank. Second, we question whether attachment styles and degrees of satisfaction are also reflected in a capacity to feel pleasure in attachments to luxury products, feel happiness and pro-activeness, develop positive relationships with others, and sleep well for multiple samples of non-commercial customers. Apparently, secure attached people form enjoyable attachments with luxury goods/brands. Equally, in life in general they show a proactive attitude and generosity toward others, and feel low envy. Anxious attachment style relates negatively with appraisal of and relationship formation with commercial banks, negatively with enjoyment and attachment to luxury goods, and negatively with generosity towards people and happiness. In addition, anxious attachment style relates positively with envy towards people and low sleep quality. Avoidant attachment style does not relate with any of the above variables except for a negative association with happiness with life in general. Finally, none of the attachment styles scales relates with the BIS-BAS scale, except that anxious attachment relates with the BIS scale, indicating largely that the attachment system does not function as an approach-avoidance system but helps in homeostatic regulation of stress due to the experience of quiescence with others. By studying how attachment styles affect people in commercial and general social domains we hope to pave the way for further exploration of the fundamental mechanisms that drive secure attached people as opposed to insecure attached people to generally experience positive emotions and outcomes in life. We tentatively suggest that compared to insecure attached people, secure attached people possess a different "style of being in the social world." Keywords: attachment system, attachment styles, happiness, satisfaction, style of being in the social world "…it turns out that if you measure their heart rate during the separation the physiological signs indicate that inside the babies are miserable-one of the saddest research finding I know" (Alison Gopnik, 2009, p. 182, speaking about avoidant-attached children)
