Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin boş zaman yönetimi tutumlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Metod: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversitede sağlık alanında lisans eğitimi alan 704 öğrenci oluşturdu. Araştırma verileri “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Boş Zaman Yönetimi Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin istatistiksel analizlerinde Independent t testi, Mann-Whitney U testi, Ona-Way Anova, Kruskal- Walls testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin boş zaman yönetimi puanlarının ortalamanın üstünde olduğu görüldü. Bölümler arasında “amaç belirleme ve yöntem”, “boş zaman tutumu” ve “değerlendirme” alt boyutları arasında farklılık olduğu tespit edildi. Analiz sonucuna göre öğrencilerin bölümleri, okudukları sınıflar, boş zaman aktiviteleri ve hobiye sahip olma durumları ile boş zaman yönetimi toplam puanları arasında anlamlılık bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin amaç belirleme ile planlama konularında desteklenmeleri gerekmektedir. Boş zaman, yaşamın öznel kalitesini yansıtır, bu nedenle gençlerin boş zamanlarını etkin bir şekilde kullanabilecekleri sosyal alanlar ve sosyal programlar oluşturmaları önerilir.

Leisure Management Attitudes of University Students and Influencing Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study

Year 2023, Volume: 11 Issue: 29, 1 - 13, 29.04.2023

Abstract

Objective: This study endeavors to determine university students’ leisure management attitudes and the factors that affect these attitudes. Methods: The research design was descriptive. The sample study consisted of 704 undergraduate students enrolled in different departments of health sciences. The data of the study were collected by using a demographics form and the Leisure Time Management Scale. In the analysis of the data, Independent t-Test and a Mann–Whitney U Test, One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Walls tests were used. Results: Students’ leisure management scores were found to be above the mean. Respondents differed in the dimensions of “goal setting and methods”, “leisure time attitudes” and “evaluation” depending on the variable of department attended. Significant relationships were found between the variables of department, grade level, leisure activities and having hobbies and the leisure time management total scores. Conclusions: The study found that students should be supported in setting goals and planning. Since leisure time is a metric of one’s quality of life, it is recommended that social spaces and social programs be created for young people where they can make effective use of their free time.
