註釋"This report (originally practice enquiry) aimed to look at practitioners' accounts of their practice in promoting the wellbeing of older people from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds in four parts of the United Kingdom (UK). Although there is no single universally agreed definition of wellbeing, it is usually seen as including important aspects of people's lives, such as life satisfaction, a sense of achievement and purpose, and generally feeling that life is worthwhile. Although an absence of wellbeing is associated with depression, wellbeing is about more than not feeling depressed. Governments and policy makers are becoming increasingly interested in measuring the success of the services they provide by looking at how they can improve wellbeing but we know very little about how adult social care services seek to improve the wellbeing of the communities they serve. This report describes a wide range of practice methods used to promote the mental wellbeing of black and minority ethnic older people in different social care settings." -- Page 82.
