Studies of people with developmental disabilities suggest that participation in leisure activities might be a key factor for good quality of life. This study explores the relationships between objective and subjective quality of life and leisure participation of adults with developmental disabilities.
A cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sample of 125 people, aged 17-65, living in the community. Participants completed the subjective scale of Integral Quality Scale and the Leisure Assessment Inventory in the form of an individual interview. Staff completed the GENCAT Scale.
No relationship was found between objective quality of life and leisure participation. However, correlations between some leisure participation dimensions and specific subjective quality of life domains were observed. The results establish a predictive relationship between leisure participation and material, emotional, and physical well-being. Personal and environmental variables analyzed were not found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between leisure participation and quality of life.
These findings indicate that some aspects of leisure participation may significantly contribute to enhancing the quality of life of young people and adults with developmental disabilities living in the community.
研究表明，参与休闲活动可能是提高发展障碍人士生活质量的关键因素。本研究旨在探讨发展障碍成年人的客观生活质量、主观生活质量和休闲参与之间的关系。
本研究采用便利抽样法，选取了 125 名年龄在 17-65 岁之间、居住在社区中的成年人。参与者完成了个体访谈形式的主观综合质量量表和休闲评估量表。工作人员则完成了 GENCAT 量表。
客观生活质量与休闲参与之间没有关系。然而，一些休闲参与维度与特定的主观生活质量领域之间存在相关性。研究结果表明，休闲参与与物质、情感和身体幸福感之间存在预测关系。分析的个人和环境变量没有发现对休闲参与和生活质量之间关系有调节作用。
这些发现表明，休闲参与的某些方面可能会显著提高生活在社区中的年轻人和成年发展障碍人士的生活质量。
