This study aimed to identify the relationship among leisure activities, depression, and quality of life of community-dwelling elderly in Korea.
We assessed 100 community-dwelling older adults. Leisure participation and leisure exploration were assessed by using the leisure participation for the elderly. Depression was measured using the Korean version of the Short Form of Geriatric Depression Scale, and quality of life was assessed using EQ-5D. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent-sample test, the chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.
EQ-5D scores of the depression group were significantly higher ( < .01). Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and EQ-5D scores showed a significant correlation with leisure participation and leisure exploration. Furthermore, leisure satisfaction was a significant factor in depressive symptoms (β = -.320, < .01). There was a significant correlation between depression or quality of life and leisure activities corresponding to games, social activities, cultural activities, outings, and information and communication.
This study showed that leisure participation and leisure exploration of the elderly were significantly related to depression and quality of life. Social, emotional, active, and productive activities were the leisure activities that positively affected depression and quality of life.
本研究旨在确定韩国社区老年人的休闲活动、抑郁和生活质量之间的关系。
我们评估了100名社区老年人。通过使用老年人休闲参与量表来评估休闲参与和休闲探索情况。使用韩国版老年抑郁量表简表测量抑郁情况，并使用EQ-5D评估生活质量。采用独立样本t检验、卡方检验、Spearman相关分析和多元回归分析进行统计分析。
抑郁组的EQ-5D得分显著更高（P <.01）。老年抑郁量表（GDS）和EQ-5D得分与休闲参与和休闲探索显著相关。此外，休闲满意度是抑郁症状的一个重要因素（β = -.320，P <.01）。抑郁或生活质量与对应游戏、社交活动、文化活动、外出活动以及信息与交流的休闲活动之间存在显著相关性。
本研究表明，老年人的休闲参与和休闲探索与抑郁和生活质量显著相关。社交、情感、积极和富有成效的活动是对抑郁和生活质量有积极影响的休闲活动。
