Az Gören Bireylerin Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılım Engelleri ile Algılanan Stres ilişkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı; az gören bireylerde rekreatif faaliyetlere katılmanın önündeki engellerin ve az gören bireylerin algılanan streslerinin incelenmesidir. Bu doğrultuda Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılımın Önündeki Engeller ölçeği ve Algılanan Stres ölçeğinden oluşan anket formu 125 az gören bireye uygulanmıştır. Anket kapsamında kullanılan ölçek maddeleri arasındaki içsel tutarlılık Cronbach alpha katsayısı ile ölçülmüştür. Çalışmada Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılım Engelleri ölçeğinin yapısal geçerliliği ölçmek amacıyla faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılım Engelleri değişkenleri ve Algılanan Stres arasındaki ilişkinin kuvvetini ve yönünü belirlemek amacıyla korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılımın Önündeki Engeller boyutlarının Algılanan Stres üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacı ile regresyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre az gören bireylerin Algılanan Stres düzeylerini etkileyen Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılımın Önündeki Engeller değişkenleri Psikolojik ve Sosyal Yetersizlikler, Maddi Yetersizlikler ve Fiziksel Yetersizlikler olarak belirlenmiştir. Algılanan Stres ile Psikolojik ve Sosyal Yetersizlikler ve Maddi Yetersizlikler boyutları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmiştir. Regresyon analizinde elde edilen bulgulara göre, az gören bireylerin Algılanan Stres düzeylerini etkileyen Rekreatif Faaliyetlere Katılım Engelleri değişkenleri Psikolojik ve Sosyal Yetersizlikler ve Maddi Yetersizlikler olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda az gören bireylerin de bu faaliyetlere katılıp kazanımlardan faydalanmalarını sağlamak amacıyla az gören bireyin ailesi ve çevresinin daha duyarlı olması ve yerel yönetimlerin bu engellere yönelik geliştirici düzenlemeler gerçekleştirmeleri önerilebilir.

In accordance with this purpose, a questionnaire, consisting of the Barriers to Participation in Recreative Activities and the Perceived Stress scales, was applied to 125 people with low vision. Cronbach’s alpha calculated to internal consistency of the scale items. In order to test construct validity, exploratory factor analysis has applied to barriers to participation in recreational activities data set. Correlation analysis was conducted to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the barriers to participation in recreative activities variables and perceived stress. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the effect of the dimensions of barriers to participation in recreative activities on perceived stress. According to the findings, the variables of Barriers to participation in recreative activities, which affect the perceived stress levels of individuals with low vision, were determined as psychological and social disabilities material disabilities and physical disabilities.
