The concept of „being healthy” means something different for everyone. The cause for this discrepancy lies in multifarious determinants of health and depends i.a. on age, sex, social situation, and especially on the system of values determining aims in life. For the disabled health is an important, but not an indispensable condition to achieve personal happiness. This way of thinking stands in contradiction to the one presented by the able-bodied. Actively pursuing one’s passion for art increases life satisfaction of the disabled, both in the personal and in the profes-sional sphere of life.

The research was carried out among a group of disabled people: members of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists AMUN (24 people) as well as disabled people doing various kinds of artistic work (38 people), altogether 62 people. Following measures were employed in the research: health psychology test – Acceptance of Illness Scale – AIS (Z. Juczyński, 2001) and an interview questionnaire.
