The development and evaluation of a wellness programme in an industrial worksiteJames, Ingrid Dian January 2003 (has links)
A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2003. / This trans-disciplinary study was conducted in the paradigm of health psychology, investigating the causal relationship between physical exercise and psychological wellness. The aim-of the study is to increase awareness of the benefits of physical exercise as an adjunct to/or modality of treatment of mental illness. Further, the study aims to highlight the need for promotion of wellness as opposed to treatment of illness.
The study also highlights the need for industries to regard the promotion of mental health as good business practice in order to construct a relevant and sustainable wellness programme. Such programmes must be firmly anchored in collaborative efforts from stakeholders and other health professionals.
The secondary aim of the study is the promotion of trans-disciplinary research as in this case between exercise science and psychology. It is hoped that mental health promotion and prevention would become the task of all individuals rather than only health professionals.

An exploratory factor analysis on the measurement of psychological wellnessGropp, Liezl 30 June 2006 (has links)
This research investigated the psychometric characteristics of self-actualisation, locus of control, sense of coherence and emotional intelligence as constructs of psychological wellness. Details of the intercorrelatedness of the various constructs will assist in understanding the nature of psychological wellness and its measurement.
In the literature review a definition for psychological wellness was determined by studying various definitions and models of psychological wellness. During this investigation it was determined that the four constructs mentioned above were related to psychological wellness.
An explorative factor analysis was conducted to address the empirical research questions. Three factors (psychological adjustment, self-actualisation and stress management) were extracted from the analysis. The descriptive statistics were analysed in terms of management responsibility, gender and race.
The findings of the explorative factor analysis supported the theoretical definition of psychological wellness. It was found that self-actualisation played a key role in psychological wellness. Meaningfulness, although indicating a low loading on all three factors, must be present to provide meaning to day to day functioning. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / MCOM (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
