Cognitive determinants of healthcare evaluations – A comparison of Eastern and Western European countries

There is growing scholarly interest in the public opinion of healthcare and in the assessment and comparison of healthcare system performance [1 –11]. Global evaluation measures of healthcare, such as satisfaction ratings, are often used to study the public’s general attitude to the healthcare system [4,5]. They address the general public – users and non-users alike – and provide a composite assessment of the healthcare system more b roadly [12,13]. The more positively individuals evaluate healthcare services in their country, the higher the (subjective) performance of the system.
