ABSTRACT
Objective: To review the available evidence on measurements, associations and interventions based on subjective well-being in primary health care.
Method: A narrative review was carried out with a broad search strategy to cover different definitions, scales and interventions of subjective well-being or happiness in primary care until November 2017.
Results:
The literature search resulted in 105 studies after removing duplicates, 14 of which were eligible for analysis. We found mostly cross-sectional studies with self-report, and 3 clinical studies. A well-being oriented program and two counseling and promotion of physical exercise interventions are described in clinical studies.
Conclusions: From these results, clinical recommendations cannot be made, which leads us to raise the need for their measurement, evaluation of interventions and staff education.
