“…This can result from different health conditions, as well as, among other things, patients' gender, age, and current health status. Hierarchy of values of a patient plays a significant role, including the position of health [27]. The assessment of the system of values that seniors attribute with particular dimensions of health is crucial in the face of a systematic increase of their number [28].…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of rehabilitation benefits and senior disability. It generates high costs of treatment and increasing demand for medical staff and care of geriatric profile. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between health evaluation and satisfaction with medical services among individuals with OA in rehabilitation outpatient clinics. The survey was carried out from June 2017 to May 2018, among patients being provided with services of five outpatient rehabilitation clinics in Lublin. The surveyed group comprised 328 respondents. The following tools were utilized: the List of Health Criteria (LHC), the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (version B) (MHLC), the authors’ own questionnaire compiled for the study, and the Servperf Method. According to the respondents, the most important health criterion is “not to experience any ailments” (M = 1.56). In an assessment of a clinic, the respondents rated neatness (cleanliness) of the staff highest (M = 4.38) and the appearance of a building where a clinic is located lowest (M = 3.42). The better the evaluation of medical services in an outpatient rehabilitation clinic in comparison to other settings, the better the evaluation of the quality of service (rho S = 0.593; p < 0.000). The study conducted in outpatient rehabilitation clinics showed great demand for outpatient specialist care of geriatric profile. Undoubtedly, there is need for continuation and expansion of studies on patients with OA in other rehabilitation settings.

“…However, the PVP scale was modified from its original version Rosenberg's value assessment [29] to suit better Finnish culture. One limitation is that this value assessment does not capture the full Schwartz value circle which has been used in previous studies [7][8][9][10][11][12]. However, our sample is very homogeneous representing one culture of Caucasian upper social class men.…”

“…Therefore, health values may associate with objective and perceived health outcomes [7]. In addition, the findings of recent cross-sectional study [12] suggested that 1 3 giving a high value on health is related to health benefits. Furthermore, the study revealed that health as a value was associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical health, and mental health [12].…”

The present study aimed at determining the association between life satisfaction and subjective happiness while controlling for social desirability, and to explore whether overall satisfaction with life can be predicted by satisfaction with life dimensions while controlling for social desirability. The study had a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional design, with 279 participants from different universities of the Council of Rectors of Chile recruited through a non-probabilistic sampling method for convenience. The participants completed an online questionnaire that inquired about their global and dimensional satisfaction with life, subjective happiness, social desirability, and sociodemographic variables. The data was analysed using partial correlations and multiple regression analyses. Bivariate correlation results indicate weak and direct associations between social desirability and life satisfaction and subjective happiness, and a strong and direct association between the latter. According to the results of the partial correlation analysis, the association between life satisfaction and subjective happiness is maintained even when social convenience is controlled. The results of the multiple regression analyses indicate that although social desirability predicts life satisfaction by itself, when satisfaction with life dimensions is added to the model, social desirability loses its predictive power. In conclusion, although social desirability is associated with the two components, affective and cognitive, of subjective well-being, this association loses predictive power when other variables are considered in predictive models.
