ICEpop CAPability measure for Adults (ICECAP-A) is a generic and preference-based instrument that evaluates an individual's well-being (21). The descriptive system of the ICECAP-A has five items (stability, attachment, autonomy, achievement, and enjoyment), and each item has four response options that range from fully capable to not capable. Currently, no value set exists for the Chinese population; therefore, in order to calculate one's well-being, we calculated the sum of the five items. We reversed and recoded the sum score of the ICECAP-A that a high score indicates good well-being. The psychometric properties of the Chinese ICECAP-A have been reported by Tang et al. (22). In this study, Cronbach's alpha was 0.81, which indicated a satisfactory internal consistency reliability.
