Spor Bilimleri Fakültesindeki Sporcu Öğrencilerde Bilinçli Farkındalığın (Mindfulness) Bazı Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, spor bilimleri fakültesindeki sporcu öğrencilerde bilinçli farkındalığın (mindfulness) bazı demografik değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Ankara ve Karabük’teki devlet üniversitelerinin spor bilimleri fakültesinde öğrenim gören 295 sporcu öğrenci (% 41,7’si kadın, %58,3 erkek, X̅= 22,01 yaş, Ss=3,44) çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Orijinali Thienot vd. (2014) tarafından geliştirilmiş Türkçeye uyarlaması Tingaz (2019) tarafından yapılmış olan Sporcu Bilinçli Farkındalık (Mindfulness) Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi Formu’ndan elde edilen veriler SPSS 23 ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre, bilinçli farkındalık ölçeğinin genelinden ve alt boyutlarından alınan puanlar mevcut çalışma grubunda cinsiyete, spor branşına, lisans yılına ve daha önce yoga yapma durumuna göre farklılaşmamaktadır. Bilinçli farkındalık toplam puanı, farkındalık ve yargılamama alt boyutundan alınan puan ortalamaları öğrenim görülen bölüme ve en yüksek başarıya göre anlamlı şekilde farklılaşmamaktadır. Ancak yeniden odaklanma alt boyutunda, Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Öğretmenliği Bölümündeki sporcu öğrencilerin ortalaması Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümündeki sporcu öğrencilerin puan ortalamasından anlamlı şekilde daha yüksektir. Bununla birlikte, yeniden odaklanma alt boyutunda, Türkiye derecesi elde etmiş sporcuların puan ortalamaları hiçbir başarı elde edememiş sporcuların puan ortalamasından anlamlı şekilde daha yüksektir.

According to the results of the study, the scores obtained from the general and subscales of mindfulness do not differ according to gender, sports type, sports year and previous yoga practice.
