The Relationship between Depression, Anxiety and Physical Activity Level among Secondary School Students

Year 2015, Volume: 2015 Issue: 4, 58 - 67, 30.04.2015

Abstract

The purpose of the present research is studying the relationship between depression, anxiety and physical activity among young individuals who study at secondary schools. On voluntary basis, 226 male and 137 female; a total of 363 students between the ages 13-19 (average 15,44±1,25) participated in the research. The data related to physical activity variable were collected with “IPAQ Long Form – International Physical Activity Questionnaire; data related to Depression variable were collected with “Beck Depression Inventory”, and data related to Anxiety variable were collected with “Beck Anxiety Inventory”. Statistical analyses revealed that 63.3% of male students, and 75.1% of female students were not physically active or didn’t have adequate physical activity levels; and physical activity level of male students were significantly higher than female students (Independent Sample T-test; p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences across genders in terms of Anxiety and Depression scores (Independent Sample T-test; p<0.05), and physical activity classification (One Way ANOVA; p>0.05). Additionally, there were no statistically significant correlations between anxiety, depression and physical activity (Pearson Correlation; p>0.05). Consequently, we can claim that physical activity level is quite low among secondary school students. However, depression and anxiety aren’t affected from physical activity level.

Ortaöğretim Öğrencilerinde Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeyi ile Depresyon ve Anksiyete İlişkisi

Year 2015, Volume: 2015 Issue: 4, 58 - 67, 30.04.2015

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaöğretim okullarında öğrenim gören gençlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ile depresyon ve anksiyete ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmaya gönüllü ve 13-19 yaşları arasında, yaş ortalaması 15,44±1,25 olan 226 erkek ve 137 kız öğrenci olmak üzere toplamda 363 kişi katılmıştır. Araştırmanın fiziksel aktivite değişkeniyle ilgili veriler “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Uzun Formu (UFAA Uzun Form - International Physical Activity Questionnaire)” ile Depresyon değişkeni ile ilgili veriler “Beck Depresyon Envanteri” ile ve anksiyete değişkeniyle ilgili veriler de “Beck Anksiyete Envanteri” ile toplanmıştır. Yapılan istatiksel analizler sonucunda erkek öğrencilerin %63,3’ün, kız öğrencilerinde %75,1’in aktif olmadığı veya yetersiz aktivite düzeyine sahip olduğu ve erkek öğrencilerin fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin kız öğrencilerden anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (Bağımsız T-testi; p<0,05). Anksiyete ve Depresyon puanları arasında cinsiyetler acısından (Bağımsız T-testi; p>0,05) ve fiziksel aktivite sınıflaması açısından (Tek Yönlü ANOVA; p>0,05) anlamlı bir fark yoktur. Ayrıca fiziksel aktivite ile depresyon ve anksiyete arasındada anlamlı bir ilişki (Pearson korelasyon; p>0,05) bulunamamıştır. Sonuç olarak orta öğretim öğrencilerinde fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin oldukça düşük olmasına rağmen depresyon ve anksiyetenin bundan etkilenmediği söylenebilir.
