Yaşlıların Boş Zaman Aktivitelerine Katılımlarında Algıladıkları Boş Zaman Tatmininin Demografik Özelliklere Göre Analizi

Year 2019, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 54 - 70, 15.02.2019

Abstract

Çalışmada, ülkemizdeki yaşlıların
rekreasyon amaçlı boş zaman katılımlarının algıladıkları boş zaman tatmini ile
ilgili boyutların belirlenmesi ve yaşlıların tatmin algılarının demografik
özelliklere göre nasıl farklılık gösterebileceği araştırılmıştır. Eskişehir
ilinde yaşayan 60 yaş ve üstü yaş gruplarında yer alan 608 katılımcıya, Boş
Zaman Tatmini Ölçeği kullanılarak oluşturulan anket uygulanmıştır. Boş zaman
tatmini ölçeğinde toplam altı tatmin boyutu bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada sosyal, estetik
ve psikolojik tatmin boyutları olmak üzere üç boyut ile boş zaman tatmini
arasında ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada demografik özelliklere göre yaşlıların
boş zaman tatmin algılamalarında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu görülmüştür. Boş zaman tatmininin tüm alt boyutlarında cinsiyet
faktörünün önemli olmadığı, özellikle eğitim ve yaş değişkenlerindeki
farklılıkların ön plana çıktığı saptanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara
bağlı olarak ülkemizdeki yaşlıların boş zaman tatminlerini iyileştirmeye
yönelik programların oluşturulması ve yaşlıların tatmin algılarını yükseltecek
faktörlerin incelenmesi ile ilgili araştırma önerileri sunulmuştur.
