The Relationship Between Individuals’ Perceived Health Outcomes in Recreation and Their Levels of Psychological Resilience

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between individuals' perceived health outcomes of leisure activities and their psychological resilience levels. The study, based on a correlational survey model, was conducted with individuals who use recreational areas in Sakarya. The sample consisted of 493 participants, 261 women and 232 men, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Perceived Health Outcomes of Recreation Scale, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. Pearson correlation and regression analyses were employed. The analysis results revealed a low, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the psychological experience factor of perceived health outcomes and psychological resilience. Furthermore, psychological experience was found to significantly predict psychological resilience. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the positive psychological experiences individuals gain through recreational activities can enhance their psychological resilience levels. This finding highlights that psychological experience makes a significant contribution to resilience among the various influencing factors.
