Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between meaning in life, exercise beliefs, and levels of bliss among university students. The study is a cross-sectional type of research. The research was carried out between 05.01.2021 and 05.03.2021 with 251 students who were actively attending in the health services vocational school of a state university in Turkey. The data were collected by administering a personal information form, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Exercise Health Belief Model Scale, and the Oxford Happiness Scale. For analyzing the data, number, mean, percentile distribution, Cronbach alpha coefficient, and Pearson Correlation analyses were used. The sense of life, happiness and exercise of student belief levels were determined to be above average value. There was found to be a statistically significant positive relationship between sense of life and happiness, sense of life and exercise beliefs, and happiness and exercise beliefs. It was found that as the students' sense of life increased, their belief in exercise and their level of happiness also increased. Moreover, the findings showed that the scores regarding the participants’ happiness levels increased along with the ones of exercise beliefs.
