“…Effort, work, ambition and perfectionism correlate positively with perception of wellbeing (Bláz-quez-Garcés et al, 2014;Hampson & Friedman, 2008), mainly self-acceptance, personal growth and purpose in life. As indicated in other studies (Esnaola & Revuelta, 2009;, participation in activities requiring effort, like physical exercise, offers people the chance to develop individual characteristics that help them to become more perseverant, dynamic and stable, especially in the case of women (Courneya et al, 2012;Salehi, Harris, Coyne, & Sebar, 2016).…”

Practice of physical activity is increasingly important for people both as a recreational activity as a health activity. Although it is difficult to find human behaviors that do not have any influence on the health and well-being, it´s possible to show conduct that are among the most important risk factors of major health problems today such as consumption alcohol, obesity and snuff. Regular healthy physical exercise following programmes or frequent and regular autonomous activities improves mental health, autonomy, memory, speed, body image and the feeling of wellbeing, while producing personal stability characterised by optimism, emotional clarity and mental flexibility, leading to a longer life and better health. This model of psychological wellbeing based on the development of human potential and physical exercise, indicates that some aspects of psychological wellbeing are perceived as being more important than others (e.g., self-acceptance, personal growth or life purpose) when studied in relation to autonomy or coping strategies.

“…The vast majority of the studies described in this review focus on human functioning in terms of performance and behaviour; the link between self-efficacy and wellbeing is much less extensively researched. Yet, there are ample examples from varying disciplines and a range of participant samples: self-efficacy has found to be positively related to wellbeing among adolescents (Caprara et al 2006), people who regularly exercise (Briki 2018), South African marginalised youth (Melato et al 2017), cancer patients in the UK (Foster et al 2016), new mothers in Israel (Kestler-Peleg, Hamama-Raz, and Osnat 2016), and among young Iranian women (Salehi et al 2016). Benight and Bandura (2004) conducted a review of studies investigating the role of self-efficacy in recovery from various types of trauma, including natural disasters, technological catastrophes, terrorist attacks, war, and assaults, and found that self-efficacy was positively related to trauma recovery in all studies.…”

This paper investigates the link between self-efficacy and positive affect among resettled refugees (N = 180). We hypothesised that self-efficacy would play a key role in improving refugee wellbeing. Research used mixed methods. Alongitudinal survey with three time points confirmed that higher levels of general self-efficacy were consistently associated with better positive affect at later time points. The reverse effects, from positive affect to later selfefficacy, were not significant. In addition, qualitative interviews with a subsample provide suggestions as to how self-efficacy of refugees might be improved: that is, by improving access to employment and language classes, by clarifying how British social and cultural systems work, including the practical information necessary to navigate daily life, and by providing more opportunities to increase social networks, all suggesting the necessity of a proactive role of the receiving society.

“…However, participants attending the targeted intervention at their GP had lower baseline self-efficacy than those who received the digital personal health profile alone [ 28 ]. This may have influenced the results as self-efficacy is known to be associated with well-being [ 43 ].…”

Background Recent evidence suggests the effectiveness of stepwise, targeted approaches for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases with combinations of web-based and face-to-face interventions showing promising results. Objective This paper reports on 1-year changes in health-risk behaviors, BMI, self-rated health, mental well-being, and risk of disease at 1-year follow-up after participation in a stepwise intervention that targeted persons at high risk of disease and persons with health-risk behavior. To this end, we distinguish between participants who took up the full intervention (web-based plus face-to-face) and those who received only the web-based intervention. Methods The Early Detection and Prevention (Danish acronym: TOF) pilot study was conducted as a nonrandomized, 1-year follow-up intervention study in two municipalities in the Region of Southern Denmark. A total of 9400 citizens born between 1957 and 1986 (aged 29 to 60 years) were randomly sampled from participating general practitioner (GP) patient-list systems and were invited to take part in the study. Participants were subsequently stratified into risk groups based on their responses to a questionnaire on health-risk behavior and data from their GP’s electronic patient record (EPR) system. All participants received a digital personal health profile with individualized information on current health-risk behavior and targeted advice on relevant health-risk behavior changes. In addition, patients at high risk of disease, as indicated by their digital health profile, were offered a targeted intervention at their GP. Patients who were not deemed at high risk of disease but who exhibited health-risk behaviors were offered a targeted intervention at their municipal health center (MHC). At 1-year follow-up, health-risk behaviors, self-rated health, BMI, and mental well-being were reassessed by questionnaire, and current information on diagnoses and medical treatment was retrieved from the EPRs. Results Of 598 patients at high risk of disease or with health-risk behavior, 135 took up the targeted intervention at their GP or MHC and 463 received the personal health profile only. From baseline to 1-year follow-up, the number of patients with unhealthy eating habits decreased, mean mental well-being increased, and smoking prevalence decreased in patients who had received the digital personal health profile alone. Among patients who took up the targeted intervention, unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles decreased and significant reductions in mean BMI were observed. At 1-year follow up, no health-risk behaviors were detected among 17.4% of patients who at baseline had exhibited health-risk behaviors or high risk of disease. Conclusions A stepwise targeted preventive approach using web-based and face-to-face elements may lead to favorable lifestyle changes. Specifically, a web-based approach may improve smoking and eating habits and mental well-being, whereas supplementary face-to-face interventions may be necessary to improve exercise habits and BMI.
