Demographic Differences in the Perception of Constraints on Participation to Recreational Activities: Results from a Study Made the University in Turkey

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to study certain factors that prevent university students from participating in recreational activities that affect the same in order to obtain more information on recreation, which is one of the issues that almost all countries place importance on. Methods: The population of this study, which is cross-sectional type of epidemiology study comprised 471 students. We contacted 407 students who were targeted to contact all components of the determined population (86.4%). Results: We may list top three factors that constitute an impediment for participation of students to recreational events as “Facilities” 3.04(±0.7), “Time” 8.46(±2.02) and “Lack of Information” 8.64 (±2.46) respectively. As we reviewed average points obtained by students from sub-dimensions of the scale, we determined that, in all of the sub-dimensions, average points of female participants are higher, that average points of the age group of “17-20” is higher in the lack of friend sub-dimension, that average points of the Medical Documentation and Sekretaryship program are higher in the psychology of individual sub-dimension, that average points of participants, who did not do sports actively in the past, are higher in the “Lack of Interest” sub-dimension. Conclusion: We observed that there are several constraints that prevent women, who participated to the study, from participating to recreational activities. This issue suggests that such a situation may be an indicator of gender. Activities can be organized to increase the participation of female students in recreational activities at the university.
