“…Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) [ 14 ] was conducted to test the internal consistency [ 15 ]. As the CFA is performed based on structural equation modelling (SEM) [ 16 ], sampling followed the SEM sampling calculation method, where the sample size should be at least 200 [ 17 ]. Also, it was suggested that the sample of the CFA should be between 100 and 200 [ 10 ].…”

Background: The quality of life (QoL) of diabetic foot ulcer patients is worse than that of diabetic patients. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale-Short Form (DFS-SF) is a readily available instrument used to evaluate the quality of life of diabetic foot ulcer individuals. The aim of this study was to translate the DFS-SF into Chinese, followed by an evaluation of its validity and reliability. Methods: This study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, we followed the Brislin’s Translation and Back-translation model to translate the DFS-SF into Mandarin Chinese. In the second phase, we examined the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the DFS-SF, where the reliability was assessed in terms of Cronbach’s α coefficient, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability, and validation of the scale was carried out through content validity, structure validity and criterion validity approaches. Results: A total of 208 participants were recruited for our study. The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) of the Chinese version of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale varied from 0.800 to 1.000, the average scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.911, and the Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.952. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good structural validity of the scale, with a Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.920 and a root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.069 (p < 0.001). The criterion-related validity results indicated that the subscales were significantly related to the subscales of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), with coefficients ranging from 0.116 to 0.571 (p < 0.05). Discussion: The translation and the examination of the scale rigidly followed the golden standard model, and the reliability observed in our study was similar to that of other studies. Furthermore, the validity assessment indicated that the scale structure was reliable. Therefore, the proposed scales may serve as a reliable instrument for the quality of life evaluation in the diabetic foot ulcers population. Conclusion: The adaptation and validation of the Chinese version of the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Scale-Short Form were reliable, and it will be a reliable instrument to evaluate the QoL of Chinese diabetic foot ulcer patients.

“…We could not find a translation into German and we thus offer a translation into German of our own (s. Appendix A ). Various authors have shown in different cultural contexts that the QEWB has good psychometric properties with regard to surveying students [ 2 , 30 , 33 , 34 , 35 ], but also adults [ 29 , 32 , 36 ].…”

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD, SDG 4) and human well-being (SDG 3) are among the central subjects of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this article, based on the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being (QEWB), we investigate to what extent (a) there is a connection between EWB and practical commitment to the SDGs and whether (b) there is a deficit in EWB among young people in general. We also want to use the article to draw attention to the need for further research on the links between human well-being and commitment for sustainable development. A total of 114 students between the ages of 18 and 34, who are either engaged in (extra)curricular activities of sustainable development (28 students) or not (86 students), completed the QEWB. The students were interviewed twice: once regarding their current and their aspired EWB. Our results show that students who are actively engaged in activities for sustainable development report a higher EWB than non-active students. Furthermore, we show that students generally report deficits in EWB and wish for an improvement in their well-being. This especially applies to aspects of EWB related to self-discovery and the sense of meaning in life. Our study suggests that a practice-oriented ESD in particular can have a positive effect on the quality of life of young students and can support them in working on deficits in EWB.

Capabilities and Beyond: Towards an Operationalization of Eudaimonic Well-Being in a Public Space Context

In this chapter I discuss and attempt to operationalize the concept of human well-being in cities based on the Aristotelian view of human flourishing (eudaimonia) and elements of Martha Nussbaum’s capability approach, in the context of public space – viewed through the lenses of the theory of affordances. This operationalization may be used to evaluate the potential of public spaces (both actual and planned) to sustain human flourishing – an alternative to valuation models driven by instrumental rationality, such as cost-benefit analysis.I use the ten human capabilities identified by Martha Nussbaum to map the central dimensions of eudaimonic well-being and ask: What kind of spatial/functional and social affordances need to be granted by a given urban agriculture project to sustain the well-being dimensions indicated by each of the capabilities? Further, I extend the operationalization with the consideration of virtues (moral and intellectual excellences) – which is largely absent in capability scholarship. I ask: What kind of virtues can be linked to each of the ten central capabilities, and what kind of spatial/functional and social affordances would support the cultivation of these virtues?By problematizing eudaimonic well-being in cities, this chapter contributes to a growing discussion on the relationship between the qualities of the built environment and human well-being. This research typically focuses on the range of pathways through which the built environment may affect human well-being, not on its operationalization, and adopts a hedonic view of human well-being in an implicit way. I argue that the distinction between eudaimonic and hedonic well-being needs to be pronounced more clearly in urban research and more attention needs to be paid to the eudaimonic well-being construct which is much more concerned with the achievement of full human potential than the hedonic models.
