Good day! My respondents in my undergrad thesis would involve caregivers of demented patients. I would like to ask if since im using Ryff's PWB as my framework, would it be possible that my inclusion criteria would involve caregivers who are currently caregiving a demented patient and past caregivers who took care of demented patients but eventually passed away? Since Ryff's theory involves eudaimonia, then this is long-term right? Any suggestions are very much welcome!
Dear Janna,
Ryff and Singer (2008) write in Journal of Happiness Studies
"We will thus be required to address issues, such
as what constitutes too little, or too much, life purpose? Or, what
is too little, or not enough, self-knowledge? Questions such as
these could not be more timely for the scientific study of human
well-being where current inquiry is now poised to predict important
empirical outcomes (e.g., the health of individuals, their families,
and their communities) based on reported levels of
eudaimonic well-being."
This is a very complex concept and I do not understand if you mean that you would like to include the patients who died or their care takers
