The study was conducted with older adults who lived in a nursing home and applied to the geriatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital between April and August 2022. The study sample was 516 older adults and the data were collected by using the Older Information Form and Successful Aging Scale (SAS). It was determined that the mean duration of daily leisure activities was 6.61 ± 3.69 hours, and their mean SAS score was 58.31 ± 15.21. A moderate positive correlation was found between the SAS scores of the older adults and the activities of shopping; whereas a low positive correlation was found between their SAS scores and activities of walking, visiting friends and relatives, growing flowers, listening to music, reading, hand knitting, spending time on social media, exercising, and puzzles ( < .05). The main results of our study revealed that planned leisure activities that older adults engage in would contribute to their successful aging.
该研究针对居住在养老院且于2022年4月至8月期间申请某大学医院老年门诊的老年人开展。研究样本为516名老年人,数据通过使用《老年人信息表》和《成功老龄化量表》(SAS)收集。结果显示,老年人日常休闲活动的平均时长为6.61±3.69小时,其SAS平均得分为58.31±15.21。老年人的SAS得分与购物活动之间存在中度正相关;而其SAS得分与散步、探访亲朋好友、养花、听音乐、阅读、手工编织、使用社交媒体、锻炼和玩拼图等活动之间存在低度正相关(P<0.05)。我们研究的主要结果表明,老年人参与的有计划的休闲活动有助于他们成功老龄化。
