| Summary: | ABSTRACTThe aim
of this study was to compare the health perception and life satisfaction levels
of the individuals doing recreational sports according to various demographic
variables and to determine the relationship. This
study was conducted on the basis of survey model; Individuals attending
recreational fitness centers in Konya participated on a voluntary basis. “Health Perception Scale” which was developed
by Diamond et al. (2007) and adapted to Turkish by Kadıoğlu and Yıldız; and
“Life Satisfaction Scale” which was developed by Diener et al. and adapted to
Turkish by Köker (1991) were used. SPSS
20 package program was used to analyze the data. In the evaluation of the data,
complementary statistical methods like standard deviation (sd) frequency (f)
percentage (%) average (M) and since normal distribution conditions were
not met Kruskal Wallis Test and Mann-Whitney U test, which are non-parametric
tests, were used. Spearman Correlation coefficient test was used to reveal the
relationship between them. Results were evaluated at 0.05 significance level. As a
result of the study, when the health perception scale and life satisfaction
scale were compared according to the variables of gender, age and educational
status, statistically significant differences were found and it was found that
the relationship between life satisfaction and health perception scale had low
positive correlation levels with each other. In this context, health perception
and life satisfaction can be evaluated as factors affecting each other. |
