A validated measure and effective system for wellness
Jane E. Myers & Thomas J. Sweeney
The
Five Factor Wellness Inventory (FFWel) is a new evidence-based tool designed
to assess characteristics of wellness as a basis for helping individuals
make choices for healthier living. Developed through structural equation
modeling analysis of a large database from the Wellness
Evaluation of Lifestyle (WEL), the FFWel measures the higher order
Wellness factor, five second order factors and seventeen discrete scales
as illustrated in the Indivisible Self: An Evidence-based Model of
Wellness. These scales are measured using seventy-four scored items
and a number of experimental items. The latter items include a six-item
perceived safety scale, a three-item perceived wellness scale, and an eight-item
context scale. Demographic items are also included.
The WELLS and the FFWel have been used to study wellness in relation to diverse psychological constructs and demographic indices. These have also been used for program evaluation.
Please note that two forms are included in the Manual/Sampler set for informational purposes, they are undergoing reseach and revision: FFWel-T for adolescents with a 6th grade reading level or above, FFWel-E for elementary school aged children with a 3rd grade reading level or above.
