3Poster presented at EFYE 2018. Strengthening the wellbeing of students is an increasingly important approach of the development of students’ social, emotional and academic skills. Personal wellbeing motivates, among other things, students to learn and increases academic involvement and performance accordingly (Noble et al., 2008). According to the Centre for Education of Statistics and Evaluation (CESE, 2015) the educational welfare of students is also important for another reason; the recognition that teaching is not just about achieving academic performance, but also about the welfare of the student as a whole (intellectual, physical, social, emotional, moral and spiritual). Recent studies indicate that more and more students suffer from (mental) health problems (LSvB 2013, 2017; Schaufeli et al., 2002). The aim of the Student Wellbeing Project at Inholland University of Applied Sciences is to 1) investigate the state of student wellbeing in Dutch higher education and investigate the factors that influence wellbeing, 2) explore and offer best practices to improve student wellbeing (curative and preventive) 3) establish a strong (international) partnership and collaborate to improve student wellbeing.

What role does leadership play in building healthy, resilient, and innovative organizations? This question lies at the heart of the WOW Leadership project, in which leadership is understood in the broadest sense: as a key enabler of Wellbeing at Work and of employees, teams, and organizations flourishing together. Across our themes of WOW Leadership, Innovation Capacity, and Lifelong Development, one insight consistently emerges: attention to the wellbeing of leaders
strengthens the foundation for healthy workplaces. A healthy leader contributes to a healthy organization, and vice versa.

Een van de meest populaire modellen voor onderzoek naar welzijn, stress en bevlogenheid van medewerkers is het Job Demands-Resources model (JD-R model). Voor onderzoek naar het welzijn van studenten heeft het lectoraat Studiesucces het Student Wellbeing model ontwikkeld, een model gebaseerd op het JD-R model. Het Student Wellbeing model beschrijft net als het JD-R model een motivatieproces en een uitputtingsproces, maar dan van studenten. Het model veronderstelt dat de balans tussen positieve (energiebronnen) en negatieve (stressoren) kenmerken van ‘het student zijn/de studententijd’ invloed heeft op het welzijn van studenten en o.a. de studieprestaties kan beïnvloeden.

The necessity for humans inhabiting the 21st century to slow down and take time to carry out daily practices frames the discourse of this research note. We suggest reconceptualising tourist wellbeing through the concept of slow adventure, as a response to the cult of speed and as a vehicle for engaging in deep, immersive and more meaningful experiences during journeys in the outdoors. We suggest that slow adventure has the potential to improve people’s general health and wellbeing through mindful enjoyment and consumption of the outdoor experience and thus bring people back to a state of mental and physical equilibrium. In so doing, we argue that extending the concept to include discussions around the psychological and social aspects of slow adventure is needed.

Background: Having children or being childless is associated with differences in women's psychological wellbeing during the reproductive age period. Methods: An individually matched case-control cohort study, measuring psychological wellbeing with the 5-item Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5) was conducted. Repeated measures analysis of variance and chi-square tests were used to measure the across time changes of MHI-5 scores. ANCOVA and Cochran's Q examined the differences between MHI-5 scores of women with children (cases) and of childless women (controls) at three timepoints. Timepoints were determined by the cases’ pre-pregnancy (T1), post-birth (T2), longer-term (T3) moments. Results: Motherhood status has a significant medium effect on psychological wellbeing [F(1.112) 20.99, p<.001, d.47). Psychological wellbeing of cases declines significantly from T2 to T3 (p<.001) and from T1 to T3 (p<.001), while psychological wellbeing of controls remains the same. Cases have significantly more often MHI-5 scores below the cut-off value at T2 compared to T3 (p.05) and at T1 compared to T3 (p<.001). Controls have significantly more often MHI-5 scores below the cut-off value at T1 compared to T2 (p<.001) and at T1 compared to T3 (p<.001). Limitations: We depended on an existing data set with few predetermined variables. There was insufficient information about the full context of women’s lives such as (in)voluntary childlessness, life-events affecting happiness, or age of children, affecting a comprehensive representation of possible confounders or mediating factors. Conclusion: Psychological wellbeing of mothers declines over time, while childless women’s wellbeing remains stable. Overall, both groups show evidence of good mental health.

Crisis line services, operated by volunteers, have been proven to be effective in decreasing psychological pain and preventing suicidality. Although working at the crisis line may be rewarding, for some the confrontation with highly complex topics (i.e., suicidality, abuse, and loneliness) in combination with inappropriate calls (i.e., sexually abusive calls), may lead to distress or vicarious trauma. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the studies that have examined mental wellbeing of crisis line volunteers and the factors associated with it. Thirteen published empirical studies on the topic were found. These showed that crisis line volunteers are at increased risk of declined mental wellbeing. However, a wide range of operationalizations were used and most studies did not use validated instruments. On the other hand, studies showed that many volunteers experience satisfaction and gratification from their work. This review gives insight into some of the work-related, organization-related, and volunteer-related factors that may be associated with the decrease of mental wellbeing. More high quality, comprehensive, and quantitative research using validated instruments is urgently needed to assess the impact of the work on mental wellbeing and the relative impact of influencing factors.

Feelings of disconnectedness and social isolation among older adults are increasingly recognised as important challenges of our times. Interestingly, nature interaction can stimulate social connectedness and enhance perceived social support, indicating that nature can contribute to social wellbeing. However, nature may not always be around or accessible for older adults. In such cases, digital nature could provide an alternative means for enjoying nature's benefits. To identify limitations and restrictions that older adults experience with respect to nature interaction, and to explore preferences with respect to digital nature and their potential for influencing social wellbeing, two studies are reported: a qualitative study comprising focus groups with Dutch care centre residents (N = 26) and a subsequent quantitative study (N = 200) testing effects of digital landscapes on social wellbeing measures. Findings from the focus groups indicate that opportunities for nature interaction and preferences for digital nature vary with mobility restrictions, whereas findings from the quantitative study testify to the potential of digital nature for enhancing social wellbeing and related emotions. These findings extend research on how (digital) nature interventions can contribute to the social wellbeing of older adults and pinpoint essential nature characteristics important for doing so.

Client: COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology)
Funder: COST is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology, allowing the coordination of nationally-funded research on a European level
This project is based on bringing together principles of ecosystem services (ES), which focus on life support systems, with more non-material services such as culture, health and wellbeing through tourism. It aims to link research on wellbeing provided by ecosystems and their use via tourism, leisure and recreation activities. The underpinning issue of this proposal is to produce new and collaborative research on how and in what way can tourism be a catalyst for improving human health and wellbeing, by using in a symbiotic and sustainable way natural resources and services provided by ecosystems, as well as exploring the challenges of (e)valuation of such services. This will be achieved by creating a collaborative European network of research centres based around four key working groups, namely (a) theoretical relationships between tourism, wellbeing and ES ; (b) empirical and methodological research challenges and approaches; (c) interrelations between ageing, wellbeing and ES; and (d) policy frameworks' analysis and research-informed policy making
