“…Both psychometric parameters were age-and UDVA-dependent, and, in particular, satisfaction was poorer in participants with anisometropia. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the delta SHS correlated with age, preoperative SHS, satisfaction and UDVA, being consistent with a previous study for SHS at one month [8]. The current study indicates that patients with a greater improvement in SHS tended to regress to baseline, despite constant satisfaction.…”

“…Participants were next stratified by age according to a previous study [8]-342 patients were in the younger group (<40 y) and 130 in the older group (≥40 y). The number of patients in younger/older groups were 342/130 at baseline, 235/91 at one month, 119/54 at three months, and 94/23 at six months.…”

“…Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia correction is another established vision-restoring surgery, and beneficial for unaided vision and QOL in all generations [4][5][6][7]. Recent investigations described improved subjective happiness after LASIK [8] and cataract surgery [9] and a decline in dry eye symptoms [10]. Happiness is associated with health and disease, including longevity, QOL, cardiovascular diseases, and the neuroendocrine system [11][12][13][14].…”

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) contributes to increased patient happiness one month after surgery; however, longer term effects are unknown. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study on 472 patients who underwent bilateral LASIK surgery to measure happiness and satisfaction with LASIK, and to identify affecting factors. Patients completed questionnaires on satisfaction with the surgery and the subjective happiness scale (SHS) before, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Multiple regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of SHS and satisfaction scores. Mean SHS increased at one month but was similar to baseline levels by six months. The SHS of older patients was greater than younger ones at baseline and at one and three months, while satisfaction among the older group was poorer at one and three months. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the decrease in SHS score from one month to three months correlated with baseline SHS, SHS at one month, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and age. Regression analysis revealed SHS at six months correlated with preoperative SHS, SHS at one month, and satisfaction at six months. Satisfaction at final visit correlated with age, UDVA, anisometropia, and with SHS at each visit. We conclude that happiness and satisfaction were age- and UDVA-dependent, and anisometropic patients report poorer satisfaction scores.

“…Previous studies have shown subjective health and quality of life outcomes among older population and people living with disease conditions (Bishwajit et al 2017;Klotz et al 2018;Matsuguma et al 2018;Calys-Tagoe et al 2014;Ryan et al 2007). Currently, there are no other studies showing the predictors of subjective health, happiness, and life satisfaction among healthy adolescent populations in an African context.…”

Subjective Happiness, Health and Quality of Life and Their Sociocultural Correlates among Younger Population in Malawi

Public health research and policy in sub-Saharan Africa are generally disease-oriented, with the focus being largely confined within the biological determinants of health. So far, little attention has been given to developing a more health-oriented approach by emphasising the psychosocial dimensions of health, especially among the younger population. To this regard, we conducted the present study to assess the prevalence and sociocultural correlates of perceived happiness, health, and life satisfaction among the adolescent and young (15–24 years) population in Malawi. We analysed cross-sectional data on 12,610 men and women based on a Malawi multiple indicator cluster survey conducted in 2013–2014. Data were analysed using descriptive and multivariable regression methods. According to the findings, more than 80% of the men and women reported being satisfied about happiness, health, and life. Multivariate analysis showed an inverse relationship between being currently or formerly married and perceived happiness. Ethnic disparities in perceived health and happiness were more pronounced in men, whereas that of life satisfaction was more pronounced in women. Living in households of the highest wealth quintile was positively associated with health and life satisfaction, but not with happiness. These findings highlight the need for prioritising the psychosocial needs of the adolescent and youth populations in designing health and social policy in Malawi. The findings need to be interpreted in light of the factors specific to the sociocultural environment in Malawi.
