“…However, alongside this, the study revealed a strong belief that the language of wellbeing was enormously valuable in distancing TWB from narrow medicalised understandings of health and enabling project managers to engage participants effectively. This finding contrasts with the claim that wellbeing muddies rather than clarifies the concept of health (28). Importantly, though, it reflects a shift towards salutogenesis (29): this involves focusing not only on wider determinants of illness, but also on fostering health potentials and supporting human flourishing (30).…”

“…Either due to or despite the multiplicity of defini-tions it has been described as a “catch-all category” (Cameron, Mathers, & Parry, 2006, p. 347) that is still lacking an overall accepted definition (Seedhouse, 1995). …”

Purpose: Doctoral student well-being is an important matter that shapes the well-being of academics throughout their careers. Given that well-being has been found to be closely related to employee productivity and efficiency, strategies associated with maintaining well-being during PhD studies might be crucial for higher education, its outcomes and—just as importantly—for a balanced life of PhD students. Method: Based on 17 studies, this literature review critically assesses the literature on doctoral student well-being. Results: Theoretical models, concepts of well-being, and methods applied are discussed, as are the results of the articles. The reviewed studies are then discussed based on a SWOT analysis addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed research as well as the identified opportunities and threats, which can be used as a basis for future research. Based on the review findings and the SWOT analysis, a multidimensional view of the well-being of doctoral students is proposed. Conclusions: The study proposes a more student-centred approach to meeting doctoral students’ needs, and the enhancement of doctoral student well-being in order, as a long-term goal, to improve academics’ well-being and productivity.
