Three items were developed and pilot tested to address each of the nine senses. The ECPW-Q items are included in Table 2 along with the sense of well-being targeted by the item. Each of the three items per sense captured a different aspect, or way of thinking about that particular sense. For example, items examining the sense of efficacy look at aspects of reflection, making a difference, and feeling in control of outcomes. Similarly, sense of comfort items include not only being physically comfortable
but also feeling emotionally “at ease,” and finding the environment appealing.

The final questionnaire consisted of 30 total items, each scored on a Likert scale (1 = Never, 2 = Rarely, 3 = Sometimes, 4 = Often, and 5 = Almost Always). In order to address response-set bias, the order of presentation was determined using a random number generator, and 13 items were phrased in the negative for reverse coding on the Likert scale response set. Therefore, the overall scores for the 30 items ranged from 30 to 150. Increasingly higher scores indicate professional well-being is
more frequently experienced. (author abstract)
