PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AS A FACTOR IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

Abstract

The article is focused on the theoretical analysis of psychological well-being as a key factor in the harmonious and fulfilling life of the modern person. In the context of a high pace of life, rising stress levels and the crisis caused by military events, care for psychological well-being is becoming extremely relevant. The article examines conceptual approaches to the definition of psychological well-being and models of its development, in particular, such as the PERMA model and the theory of self-determination. The main components are summarized: social adaptation, emotional stability, social support, environmental conditions and satisfaction of personal needs. The essence of the concept of psychological well-being is analysed and summarized, which is defined as the basis for a quality and harmonious life that requires attention and development at both the personal and social levels. The author emphasizes the multidimensional nature of psychological well-being, which depends on physical health, self-esteem, stress level, economic stability, as well as human values and beliefs. Particular attention is paid to the role of social support, environmental quality and personal development in the formation of a stable psychological state. It is established that the quality of life as an integral indicator that includes objective conditions of human existence is a broader concept, while well-being is more focused on subjective aspects - emotional state, sense of harmony, inner comfort. Practical strategies for achieving psychological well-being are offered, including a healthy lifestyle, positive thinking practices, regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, healthy sleep and strengthening social connections. The article highlights innovative approaches to maintaining well-being, such as mindfulness and self-reflection techniques, which help people maintain emotional balance even in crisis situations.
