Leisure engagement plays a crucial role in people's health. Although the effects of physical activity on mental health have been studied extensively, social leisure activities have been neglected so far. This study compares leisure satisfaction, behaviour and perceived barriers of 110 service users of sheltered workshops to those of 40 mental health professionals (MHPs). It examines factors associated with greater leisure satisfaction using a cross-sectional questionnaire. Main analyses were performed using ANCOVA and linear regression analyses. The frequency and variety of leisure activities were higher in MHPs (p < 0.001), with no difference in leisure satisfaction (but different perceived barriers) between the groups. Service users participating in regular group-based activities (42%) were more satisfied than service users who did not regularly participate (p < 0.05). Improving the service users' leisure satisfaction might foster social inclusion and well-being. MHPs need to include those with the most severe mental health problems who usually refuse to participate in social activities.
休闲活动在人们的健康中起着至关重要的作用。尽管体育活动对心理健康的影响已得到广泛研究，但社会休闲活动迄今为止一直被忽视。本研究比较了110名庇护工场服务使用者与40名心理健康专业人员（MHP）的休闲满意度、行为及感知到的障碍。它使用横断面问卷调查来研究与更高休闲满意度相关的因素。主要分析采用协方差分析和线性回归分析。MHP的休闲活动频率和种类更高（p < 0.001），两组之间的休闲满意度无差异（但感知到的障碍不同）。参加定期团体活动的服务使用者（42%）比不定期参加的服务使用者更满意（p < 0.05）。提高服务使用者的休闲满意度可能会促进社会包容和幸福感。MHP需要纳入那些通常拒绝参加社会活动的最严重心理健康问题患者。
