Associations between life satisfaction and health concerns among four generations of international Roman Catholic women religious, and insights garnered for the public health worldwide

Catholic Sisters are known for their spiritual and communal life commitment, which promotes their social justice and ministerial outreach worldwide. These Sisters are now re-exploring their identity, the meaning of their lives, and their mission worldwide. Governmental organizations (e.g. WHO, etc.) strongly encourage the use of tools assessing life satisfaction and well-being to support the direction of policy decision-making. Based on Sisters’ use of two instruments (e.g. LSSAWR & HSQ), this study reveals generational patterns, which are informative for the Sisters and for the public health worldwide.
