“…However, the bifactor model showed a good fit, which was further improved after including some error covariances. These modifications were theory driven (e.g., Oyanedel et al, 2015) and supported by the data through modification indices, guided by the authors' criteria. For instance, PWI-A item 5 "How safe you feel" ("Cuánseguro/a tesientes") and PWI-A item 7 "Future security" ("Tu seguridadfutura") have a similar translation in the Spanish version.…”

“…Lau et al ( 2005 ) argued out that the scale captures the first-level deconstruction of life as a whole satisfaction and is broad enough to apply to several adult populations. It was adapted and validated in Chile by Oyanedel et al ( 2015 ) with good reliability indicators ( N = 400; α = 0.84). The reliability for the samples in the current study was acceptable as well (Argentina: α = 0.89; Chile: α = 0.82; Venezuela: α = 0.80).…”

A Bifactor Model of Subjective Well-Being at Personal, Community, and Country Levels: A Case With Three Latin-American Countries

Improving citizens' subjective well-being (SWB) has become an increasingly visible policy goal across industrialized countries. Although an increasing number of studies have investigated SWB at the individual level, little is known about subjective evaluation at social levels, such as the community and national levels. While the relationships between these levels have been analyzed in previous research, these assessments, which are part of the same unique construct of SWB, are under-investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the dimensionality and reliability of a single measure of SWB, which contained individual, community, and national levels across three Latin-American countries (Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela), using a bifactor model analysis. Findings showed that the bifactor model exhibited a good fit to the data for the three countries. However, invariance testing between countries was not fully supported because of each item's specific contribution to both specific and general constructs. The analyses of each country showed that the SWB construct was in a gray area between unidimensionality and multidimensionality; some factors contributed more to the general factor and others to the specific level, depending on the country. These findings call for integrating more distant levels (community and country levels) into the understanding of SWB at the individual level, as they contribute not only to an overall construct, but they make unique contributions to SWB, which must be considered in public policy making.

“…La presente carta se centra en el impacto de los errores correlacionados en la estimación de la confiabilidad de los puntajes del Índice de Bienestar Personal (PWI-7), reportada en Oyanedel et al 1 . En este estudio se halló una confiabilidad satisfactoria del puntaje (α = 0,85), pero en vista de la presencia de estos errores correlacionados, la confiabilidad está sobrestimada, tal como lo demostraremos más adelante.…”

“…En base a dicha aproximación, se hizo un re-análisis considerando los datos de Oyanedel et al 1 para obtener una estimación menos sesgada del coeficiente α. Si bien no se conoce r ij , se puede obtenerla usando la ecuación 1; teniendo en cuenta que r xx (0,85) y k(7), el resultado es r ij = 0,4474. Por su parte, el promedio de errores correlacionados puede calcularse fácilmente (r eij = 0,515).…”

“…The PWI is composed of eight domains of wellbeing, including standard of living, personal health, achieving in life, personal relationships, personal safety, community connectedness, future security, and spirituality-religion (International Wellbeing Group, 2006). Its psychometric properties have been studied in several countries and populations, including Chilean young adults (Alfaro et al, 2013), vulnerable users of the public health system in Santiago de Chile (Oyanedel et al, 2015), Australian patients with endstage kidney disease (Weinberg et al, 2016), Dutch adults (Van Beuningen and De Jonge, 2011), and Portuguese patients with chronic kidney disorder (Mota et al, 2016). Despite this evidence, and up to date, it has not been used to assess wellbeing in palliative care professionals.…”

The Personal Wellbeing Index in Spanish Palliative Care Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Study of Wellbeing

et al. 2021

Health professionals are especially exposed to stress, with consequences on professionals’ health and wellbeing. However, palliative care professionals’ wellbeing has been the subject of very little research. The aim of this work is to study the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) in a sample of Spanish palliative care professionals, as well as to study their levels of wellbeing and the relationships of wellbeing with variables such as gender, age, marital status, profession, and professional quality of life. A cross-sectional survey of Spanish palliative care professionals was conducted. The Spanish version of the PWI and the Short version of the Professional Quality of Life Scale were used. Here, 296 palliative care professionals attending patients at the end of life participated in the study. They showed medium to high levels of wellbeing. The PWI showed an adequate internal structure [χ2(20) = 116.130 (p < 0.001)]; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.970; standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.041; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.140 (0.116, 0.166)] and excellent estimates of reliability [α = 0.879 and Composite Reliability Index (CRI) = 0.923]. Wellbeing was higher for married compared to single and showed no relation with age, gender, and profession. Additionally, a structural equation model was estimated, in which a positive relation was found between wellbeing and compassion satisfaction and a negative one with burnout. The PWI is adequate to measure personal wellbeing in Spanish palliative care professionals.
