Abstract

Bu çalışmada sağlıklı yetişkinlerde iyilik, beden farkındalığı ve depresyon arasındaki ilişki incelendi. Bu çalışma, bu konuyla ilgili mevcut literatüre katkıda bulunmayı ve bu faktörler arasındaki ilişkilerin ve bunların ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkisinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada kesitsel bir tasarım kullanıldı ve çalışmaya 19 erkek ve 20 kadından oluşan toplam 39 sağlıklı birey dahil edildi. Katılımcıların ortalama yaşları 28.1±7.29 olarak bulundu. Depresyon, beden farkındalığı ve iyilik halini değerlendirmek için sırasıyla Beck Depresyon Envanteri, Beden Farkındalığı Anketi ve İyilik Hali Yıldız Modeli kullanıldı. Veriler SPSS v.21 kullanılarak analiz edildi ve parametreler arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesinde Pearson veya Spearman korelasyon analizleri kullanıldı. Araştırmanın bulguları, iyilik hali ile beden farkındalığı ve depresyon parametreleri arasında anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koydu. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma, beden farkındalığının sağlıklı yetişkinlerde depresyonu azaltmada önemli bir rol oynadığı hipotezini desteklemektedir. İyilik hali, beden farkındalığı ve depresyon parametreleri arasında gözlemlenen korelasyonlar, beden farkındalığının iyilik halini desteklemede ve depresyon riskini azaltmada önemini vurgulamaktadır.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WELL-BEING, BODY AWARENESS AND DEPRESSION PARAMETERS IN HEALTHY ADULTS

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between well-being, body awareness and depression in healthy adults has been examined. This study aims to contribute to the existing literature on this topic and provide a better understanding of the interrelationships between these factors and their influence on mental health. In this study, a cross-sectional design was used, and a total of 39 healthy individuals, consisting of 19 men and 20 women, were included. The participants' mean age was found to be 28.1±7.29 years. The Beck Depression Inventory, Body Awareness Questionnaire, and Well-Star Scale were used to assess depression, body awareness, and well-being, respectively. The data were analyzed using SPSSv.21, and Pearson or Spearman correlation analyses were used to determine the relationships between the parameters. The findings of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between well-being, body awareness, and depression parameters. The results indicated that body awareness practices can have a positive impact on emotional regulation and overall well-being. In conclusion, this study supports the hypothesis that body awareness plays a crucial role in mitigating depression in healthy adults. The correlations observed between well-being, body awareness, and depression parameters underscore the significance of body awareness in promoting mental well-being and reducing the risk of depression.
