Customer satisfaction analysis of the healthy elderly to investigate theassociation among happiness health status and well-being using the Happiness Health Feeling Scale

摘要

[Purpose] In this study, we aimed to analyze customer satisfaction as a tool to investigate the association among happiness, health status, and well-being using the Happiness & Health Feeling Scale. [Participants and Methods] We included 17 elderly participants and measured the happiness and health statuses using the Happiness & Health Feeling Scale. We analyzed customer satisfaction by correlating subjective well-being with the questionnaire scores. [Results] The results showed a negative correlation between subjective well-being and the score on each questionnaire (correlation coefficient= −0.476). The elderly participants showed lower scores associated with self-esteem, including external appreciation and self-love, whereas high scores associated with eating and pleasure. The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.814. [Conclusion] This study showed an inverse correlation between Happiness & Health Feeling Scale score and well-being, presumably because of low scores associated with self-esteem, which should be prioritized for improvement. The additional use of customer satisfaction analysis using the Happiness & Health Feeling Scale could be helpful to elucidate the subjective association between happiness and health-related factors.
