Rekreasyonda Algılanan Sağlık Çıktılarının Sporda Sağlık Okuryazarlığına Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık amaçlı rekreatif aktivite sıklığının bireylerin sporda sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini, bir üniversitenin Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören 328 öğrenci (172 kadın, 156 erkek) oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Rekreasyonda Algılanan Sağlık Çıktıları Ölçeği (RASÇÖ) ve Sporda Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği (SSOÖ) aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Analizler SPSS 26.0 programında yürütülmüş; t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), Pearson korelasyon ve basit doğrusal regresyon testleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, sağlık amaçlı rekreatif aktivite sıklığı arttıkça hem algılanan sağlık çıktılarının hem de sporda sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin anlamlı biçimde yükseldiğini göstermiştir (p < .001). Ayrıca RASÇÖ ile SSOÖ arasında pozitif yönde güçlü bir ilişki (r = .694) saptanmış, RASÇÖ’nün SSOÖ’nün %48’ini açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyet değişkeninde kadınların ortalama puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu, bölüm değişkeninde ise rekreasyon öğrencilerinin diğer bölümlere göre daha yüksek değerlere sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, rekreatif etkinliklerden algılanan sağlık çıktılarının artması, bireylerin sağlık bilgisini anlama, değerlendirme ve uygulama düzeylerini güçlendirmektedir. Bu bulgu, düzenli rekreatif katılımın sporda sağlık okuryazarlığının gelişiminde önemli bir etken olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

The Effect of Perceived Health Outcomes in Recreation on Health Literacy in Sports

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the frequency of health-related recreational activities on individuals’ sports health literacy. A correlational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the study consisted of 328 students (172 female, 156 male) enrolled in the Faculty of Sports Sciences at a university. Data were collected using the Perceived Health Outcomes in Recreation Scale (PHORS) and the Health Literacy in Sports Scale (HLSS). Analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 software; t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression tests were applied. Findings showed that as the frequency of health-related recreational activities increased, both perceived health outcomes and health literacy levels in sports significantly increased (p < .001). Furthermore, a strong positive relationship (r = .694) was found between PHORS and HLSS, with PHORS explaining 48% of HLSS. In terms of gender, women had higher average scores, while recreation students had higher values than students from other departments. In conclusion, increased perceived health outcomes from recreational activities strengthen individuals' levels of understanding, evaluating, and applying health knowledge. This finding reveals that regular recreational participation is an important factor in the development of health literacy in sports.
