“…In a recent review on wellbeing and the neurological disorders ( Fisher et al, 2020 ), we proposed several core domains of wellbeing, comprising the individual (including a balanced mind and a healthy body), community (social connection), the natural environment (connection with nature), the role of behaviour change and socio-structural factors, which are summarised below. The GENIAL model is entirely consistent with recent developments in positive psychology ( Mead et al, 2019 ; Wong, 2019 ; Kern et al, 2020 ; Lomas et al, 2020 ), described as second and third-wave positive psychology, which places importance on emotional balance, meaning and purpose, social ecology and interdisciplinarity. This evolution in positive psychology has been described as a series of waves reflecting dynamic fluidity and continued refinement ( Lomas et al, 2020 ).…”

This evolution in positive psychology has been described as a series of waves reflecting dynamic fluidity and continued refinement ( Lomas et al, 2020 ). In this regard, the GENIAL model has been inspired by these recent developments and provides an exemplar of how the latest wellbeing science might be applied to improve wellbeing – rather than reduce illbeing – in people living with chronic conditions in particular, laying the foundation for a more sustainable healthcare sector.…”

“…The present findings thus contribute to this new 'third wave' of PP as the need for wellbeing interventions to consider the impact of wider socio-structural factors is highlighted. It should be noted that the evolutions of PP should not be seen as having clearly defined boundaries, but are instead overlapping waves (Lomas et al, 2020). The findings of this evaluation thus support and contribute to both the second and third wave of PP.…”

Individuals with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) suffer chronic impairment across cognitive, physical and psycho-social domains, and the experience of anxiety, isolation and apathy has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative evaluation was conducted of 14 individuals with ABI who had participated in series of COVID adapted group-based intervention(s) that had been designed to improve wellbeing. Eight themes were identified: Facilitating Safety, Fostering Positive Emotion, Managing and Accepting Difficult Emotions, Promoting Meaning, Finding Purpose and Accomplishment, Facilitating Social Ties, (Re)Connecting to Nature, and Barriers to Efficacy. Findings are discussed with respects to recent theoretical developments in positive psychology and wellbeing science and support the use of online and outdoor interventions to enhance wellbeing in individuals living with ABI during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper makes a unique contribution to second wave positive psychology (PP2.0) through the application of recent advances in wellbeing science to an ABI population during the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, this paper lays the foundation for new interventions that not only reduce impairment and distress, but also create opportunities for meaning and enhanced wellbeing in people living with chronic conditions and those individuals living with ABI in particular.

Wellbeing science is the scientific investigation of wellbeing, its’ antecedents and consequences. Alongside growth of wellbeing science is significant interest in wellbeing interventions at individual, organizational and population levels, including measurement of national accounts of wellbeing. In this concept paper, we propose the capability model of wellbeing literacy as a new model for wellbeing science and practice. Wellbeing literacy is defined as a capability to comprehend and compose wellbeing language, across contexts, with the intention of using such language to maintain or improve the wellbeing of oneself, others or the world. Wellbeing literacy is underpinned by a capability model (i.e., what someone is able to be and do), and is based on constructivist (i.e., language shapes reality) and contextualist (i.e., words have different meanings in different contexts) epistemologies. The proposed capability model of wellbeing literacy adds to wellbeing science by providing a tangible way to assess mechanisms learned from wellbeing interventions. Moreover, it provides a framework for practitioners to understand and plan wellbeing communications. Workplaces and families as examples are discussed as relevant contexts for application of wellbeing literacy, and future directions for wellbeing literacy research are outlined.

“…O senso de compartilhamento, de empatia e de possibilidade de uma apreensão menos individual do processo de adoecimento, mas justamente de consideração dos elementos coletivos envolvidos nessa experiência compõem o que contemporaneamente tem sido cotejado pela terceira onda da Psicologia Positiva (Lomas et al, 2020). Ainda que os estudos alinhados a essa nova onda estejam em desenvolvimento, pode-se ilustrar, na presente investigação, uma transição no modo como os recursos são empregados pelos participantes: de uma apreensão essencialmente individual, em um primeiro momento, até o reconhecimento de que, apesar de o adoecimento incidir sobre um determinado organismo e uma determinada pessoa, não se trata de uma experiência isolada.…”

O adoecimento por câncer ginecológico apresenta repercussões significativas nas vidas das pacientes, bem como de seus cônjuges/parceiros. Para fazer frente a esse processo, esses casais podem desenvolver estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) que incluam ou não a conjugalidade. O objetivo deste estudo de casos múltiplos foi conhecer as principais fontes de apoio e as estratégias de enfrentamento desenvolvidas por casais em que a esposa/companheira realizou tratamento do câncer de colo uterino. As evidências foram produzidas a partir de três estudos de caso, com o emprego de entrevistas individuais com cada cônjuge e também com o casal. As entrevistas transcritas foram analisadas pela Psicologia Positiva. A família foi considerada a principal rede de apoio. As estratégias de coping mais utilizadas foram: ressignificação do problema e suporte religioso/espiritual. A religiosidade/espiritualidade permitiu a construção de significados acerca do adoecer e a atribuição de um sentido de gratidão em decorrência dos aprendizados. O reconhecimento desses aspectos pode levar ao desenvolvimento de intervenções alinhadas às vivências dos casais e à oferta de um cuidado mais adequado.
