Background: In human life, physiological, social, and environmental changes are inevitable. To cope with changes, personality and well-being play a vital role. The objectives of this study are to assess the well-being among adults and to associate the findings with selected demographic variables.
Materials and Methods: A non-experimental exploratory descriptive survey method with non-probability purposive sampling was used. 300 samples that met the sampling criteria were included. The standardised tool, the WHO-5 well-being index scale, was used. During data collection, ethical considerations such as confidentiality were incorporated.
Results: In this present study, 93 % of the sample have good well-being, and except for gender, all the demographic variables, like age, education, occupation and monthly income, showed a statistical association.
Conclusion: Assessing well-being is a critical preventive strategy for mental illness, such as depression and other mental illnesses among adults, which can also help in preventing and minimising major physical health-related issues like diabetes, hypertension, etc.
