Study on the relationship between participation in leisure activities benefits of patients with chronic diseases

近年來台灣慢性疾病一直是患者揮之不去的夢魘，慢性病是一種長期、緩慢漸進的疾病所帶來的是生命的最大威脅，也會產生嚴重的心理和情緒問題。慢性病患者年齡逐年降低，如何透過參與不同休閒活動，使身心理的健康得到照顧與預防，是本研究所要探討的重點。過去有關慢性病患者休閒活動參與效益研究闕如，各類型慢性病患者從事何種休閒運動，參與休閒活動與心理健康效益是否具關連性是值得探討的議題。本研究主要探討慢性病患者參與休閒活動效益之研究，資料來自宜蘭某醫院慢性病患者為例，預計抽樣樣本為300人，研究方法採敘述性統計、相關分析、變異數分析。研究結果顯示1.年齡愈高、教育程度愈低，越少參與社交連帶、運動保健、娛樂嗜好型休閒活動。2.參與技藝技能休閒活動、知識文化休閒活動，其心理健康效益較差。
