Depresyon, Anksiyete, Stres ve Fiziksel Aktivite: Yetişkin Bireyler Üzerine Kesitsel Bir Analiz

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, farklı fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine sahip yetişkin bireylerin anksiyete, depresyon ve stres düzeylerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form (UFAA-KF) ve Depresyon, Anksiyete, Stres Ölçeği (DASS-21) yoluyla toplanmıştır. Çalışma için gerekli etik kurul izni alındıktan sonra veriler Türkiye'deki 81 ilin 55'inden çevrimiçi yöntemle ve kolayda örnekleme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ölçekleri eksiksiz dolduran 488 yetişkin birey oluşturmuştur. Yetişkin bireylerden elde edilen veriler, SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 26.0 programı aracılığı ile analiz edilmiştir. Analizler öncesinde, MANOVA testinin yapılabilmesi için gerekli olan varsayımlar ele alınmıştır. Gerekli incelemeler sonrasında verilerin analizinde öncelikle 488 yetişkin bireyin ölçeklere vermiş oldukları cevapların puan ortalamaları doğrultusunda tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve MANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin büyük çoğunluğunun anksiyete (%70,7), depresyon (%64,3) ve stres (%77,5) puan aralıklarının normal düzeylerde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu duruma karşın ileri ve çok ileri düzeyde anksiyete (%11,5), depresyon (%12,3) ve stres (%9,4) puan aralıklarına sahip bireylerin olduğu da görülmüştür. Fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinde ise katılımcıların %56,9’unun (n=278) inaktif ve minimal aktif olduğu görülmüştür. Hipotez test bulguları, inaktif bireylerin anksiyete, depresyon ve stres düzeylerinin anlamlı bir şekilde minimal aktif ve çok aktif gruplarda yer alan bireylerden daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, yetişkin bireyler için fiziksel aktivite ile negatif duygular arasında güçlü bir bağ olduğu söylenebilir.

Depression, Anxiety, Stress and Physical Activity: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Adults

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the anxiety, depression, and stress levels of adults with different physical activity levels. The data of the study were collected through the Personal Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21). After obtaining the necessary ethics committee approval for the study, data were collected from 55 of 81 provinces in Turkey by online method and convenient sampling. The sample of the study consisted of 488 adult individuals who filled the scales completely. Data obtained from adult individuals were analysed by using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 26.0 program. Before the analyses, the assumptions required for the MANOVA test were discussed. After the necessary examinations were performed, descriptive statistics and the MANOVA test were used in the analysis of the data regarding the mean scores of the answers given by 488 adult individuals to the scales. Most of the individuals participating in the study had normal scores for anxiety (70.7%), depression (64.3%) and stress (77.5%). Despite this situation, it was observed that there were individuals with severe and very advanced anxiety (11.5%), depression (12.3%) and stress (9.4%) score ranges. In terms of physical activity levels, 56.9% (n=278) of the participants were found to be inactive and minimally active. The hypothesis test results showed that the anxiety, depression and stress levels of inactive individuals were significantly higher than those in the minimally active and very active groups. As a result, it can be said that there was a strong link between physical activity and negative emotions for adults.
