AI Article Synopsis
- Well-being is a complex concept related to health and happiness, but definitions vary widely in literature.
- A scoping review aimed to clarify how well-being is defined and measured in occupational health, reviewing 4394 articles and narrowing it down to 388 that met specific criteria.
- The findings reveal that many studies fail to define well-being clearly or connect definitions to the tools used for measurement, leading to inconsistencies in how well-being is assessed.
Article Abstract
Well-being is a multifaceted construct that is used across disciplines to portray a state of wellness, health, and happiness. While aspects of well-being seem universal, how it is depicted in the literature has substantial variation. The aim of this scoping review was to identify conceptual and operational definitions of well-being within the field of occupational health. Broad search terms were used related to well-being and scale/assessment. Inclusion criteria were (1) peer-reviewed articles, (2) published in English, (3) included a measure of well-being in the methods and results section of the article, and (4) empirical paper. The searches resulted in 4394 articles, 3733 articles were excluded by reading the abstract, 661 articles received a full review, and 273 articles were excluded after a full review, leaving 388 articles that met our inclusion criteria and were used to extract well-being assessment information. Many studies did not define well-being or link their conceptual definition to the operational assessment tool being used. There were 158 assessments of well-being represented across studies. Results highlight the lack of a consistent definitions of well-being and standardized measurements.

Comparison of shank, rearfoot and forefoot coordination and its variability between runners with different strike patterns.
J Biomech

This study aims to compare shank, rearfoot and forefoot coordination and its variability between runners with habitual rearfoot strike (RFS) and non-RFS (NRFS). 58 healthy males participated in this study (32 RFS, 26 NRFS). Coordination patterns and variability were assessed for the shank, rearfoot, and forefoot segments using a modified vector coding technique during running.

The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was first published in The Lancet by Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett 50 years ago based on their pioneering work on developing a numerical scale to describe coma in clear and reproducible terms and to avoid the confusion associated with the wide variety of descriptive terms for consciousness that were in use at the time. It's difficult to know if Teasdale and Jennett could have predicted how influential, widespread and long-lasting the GCS would become, but in retrospect it seems clear that the GCS was introduced at a perfect stage in the development of modern clinical neurosurgery and neuroscience research. The simplicity of the scale, its recognition by senior academics and the emerging radiology technologies in the 1970s heralded a new era of neuroscience and an approach to the management of not only traumatic brain injury (TBI) but other types of central nervous system disease in which consciousness was affected, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke.

Human experiences are inherently shaped by individual perspectives, leading to diverse interpretations of the same events. However, shared activities, such as communal film watching or sports viewing, underscore the dual nature of these experiences: collective joy arises through social interactions, while individual emotional responses are influenced by personal preferences. The neural mechanisms underlying this interplay between shared and idiosyncratic experiences, particularly in the context of reward processing, remain insufficiently explored.

Problem/background: Australian First Nations people experience disproportionate burdens of poor outcomes compared to non-First Nations people. Further, women living in remote communities face more barriers to care-seeking in pregnancy. Despite work being done in some remote communities, there is limited data exploring women's experiences of pregnancy care, thus a limited understanding of specific barriers and enablers to care-seeking for these women.
