Real-world evidence for clergy well-being: developing a culturally grounded self-screening tool to promote sustainable mental health outcomes

This study provides a culturally sensitive and psychometrically validated self-screening instrument for assessing clergy well-being and work-related psychological health in Chinese contexts. By integrating collectivist cultural values and spiritual dimensions into occupational health psychology, the findings advance culturally inclusive well-being theory and inform targeted interventions. The accompanying online self-assessment tool enhances practical applicability and supports ongoing well-being monitoring.
