The well-being of Catholic diocesan and religious priests and seminarians today is of immense importance. Given the declining numbers and added workloads, most diocesan and religious priests and seminarians are neglecting their well-being. Psychological well-being and spiritual health are important to consider when working with such clients. Towards this aim, a study was done using the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being on Catholic diocesan and religious priests and seminarians who are in ministry on the Indian subcontinent. The findings of the study indicate that age is a strong predictor of psychological well-being. Therefore, suitable age-appropriate interventions could be developed, based on the domains of the Ryff scale, to help in the overall well-being of diocesan and religious priests and seminarians throughout their lifespan.

今天，天主教教区、神父和神学院的福祉极为重要。鉴于人数下降和工作量增加，大多数教区和宗教神父和修生都忽视了他们的福祉。与此类客户合作时，心理健康和精神健康很重要。为实现这一目标，一项研究使用 Ryff 心理健康量表对在印度次大陆工作的天主教教区和宗教神父和神学院进行。研究结果表明，年龄是心理健康的有力预测指标。因此，可以根据 Ryff 量表的领域制定适合年龄的干预措施，以帮助教区和神父以及修生一生的整体福祉。
