The World Health Organisation defines well-being as “positive mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” ps17ccs https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/806301949
Do you think this definition captures well-being for students? What is contentious about it? What doesn’t fit with student life? What’s missing?

- 'Normal stresses of life' is very subjective 
-Everybody deals with stresses differently e.g. some people can be unproductive if stressed however it can motivate others
- Individuals can have generally well but they can still have stresses. These stresses can effect them differently everyday
- In definition 'you are able to make contribution to community' but this isn't what we are doing as a student, we are working on ourselves first and it applies more in the future when have a job etc 
-Focus a lot on work and not much talk about relationships and the social side of wellbeing. For example having your friends around you and a good support network can improve your wellbeing

 How would you improve its applicability to students?
-Include the social aspect of wellbeing (E.g. having a good support system and knowing who to turn to if not feeling the best)

Label these as predominantly relating to hedonic or eudiamonic well-being, and if they are primarily cognitive, emotional or behavioural (or interacting). Is this difficult? What aspects of feeling ‘well’ as a student is missing from this measure, in your opinion?

1 - Hedonic - emotion
2- Hedonic - emotion/cognitive
3- Hedonic - behavioural
4- Hedonic - emotion/cognitive/behavioural
5- Eudaimonic - cognitive/behavioural 

What is missing from this measure?
- Not a balance between hedonic and eudaimonic - heavily weighted on hedonic 
- Missing a social aspect - social side of well being for students important when away from normal social bubbles/family members]]> 2020-10-06 11:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/806303706 Question 3. The NHS have been publishing the following steps to well-being for many years.• Connect with other people • Be physically active• Learn new skills• Give to others• Pay attention to the present moment. In your opinion and experience, are these steps useful to protect or enhance student well-being? What do you think needs to be amended / added to these steps to make them acceptable and effective for student well-being (consider hedonic and eudiamonic components)? ps17ccs https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/806306184 Robbie 


Claire 
-I think  aspects of this are useful to enhance student well being as it recognises the impact that a lack of physical exercise and social interaction (eudiamonic) can have on an individuals wellbeing 
-However the steps don't really incorporate the hedonic component of wellbeing so amendments could be to include this 

Rebecca
- Connecting with other people and staying active good for mental health, I think this is important as mental health can be a big issue for students, staying active is good for mental health and overall wellbeing 
- Being present I also think is important - rise in social media and comparisons to other people can be detrimental to wellbeing

Socialising with others and keeping physically active is definitely important for me. 
Although paying attention to the present is important, sometimes planning ahead is needed, especially with uni work to avoid getting stressed. ]]> 2020-10-06 16:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/807524064 Robbie - Q4 ps17rp https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/807534991 - Planned to go out as a house at least once a week.
- Going to the gym + football/rugby.
- Try to keep a decent routine and get enough sleep. ]]> 2020-10-06 16:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/807534991 Georgia - Q3 ps17gpo1 https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/809560346 - I think this does enhance/protect student well being and includes some eudiamonic aspects as well.
- it includes some aspect that maybe wouldn't be thought about or considered in other definitions of well being, eg. connect with others and being present in the moment, which are especially important in relation to students.]]> 2020-10-07 08:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/809560346 Georgia - Q4 ps17gpo1 https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/809569264 - staying active.
- making sure we have plans/things to do throughout the week to look forward to.]]> 2020-10-07 08:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccagrace99/s15c6k49h9uv2hxo/wish/809569264
