The purpose of this research is to analyze the study of leisure activities in the old age and the stress·the quality of life. In the result of verification of the gap and similarity among groups, process-analysis and recurrence-analysis, the conclusion below were produced.
First, as to the correlation between the stress, constituent factor for quality of life, and subjective quality of life according to the type of leisure activities :
Sports leisure group has shown a lower stress recognition rate than non sports leisure group in the area of individual stress (psychological and physical) and conflict stress (family, economical and social). In addition, among the constituent factors of quality of life, leisure satisfaction has shown high rate in the whole area of psychological, educational, social, leisure, physical and environmental satisfaction.
On satisfaction of needs, the elderly group who are participating in sports leisure activities has shown the high satisfaction rate in the area of both environmental needs and growth needs.
As to the subjective quality of life (satisfaction of life, positive emotion and negative emotion), while the group that is involved in sports leisure activities has shown the higher rate of satisfaction in the area of life satisfaction and positive emotion, it has shown lower rate in negative emotion.
In other words, the active leisure releases the everyday stress of the elderlies and it has a very efficient function to recognize the high quality of life subjectively.
Second, as to the correlation between the stress, constituent factors of quality of life and subjective quality of life according to the frequency of participating leisure activities :
As to the stress, the group of "longer than 60 months", "participating everyday", "longer than 90 minutes" has shown the lowest recognition rate of individual stress (psychological, physical) and conflict stress (family, economical and social).
Besides, as to the stress recognition according to the type of participating leisure activities, both sports leisure activity group and non sports leisure activity group has shown that the steady participation had the influence to lessen the individual and conflict stress.
In the case of constituent factors of quality of life, the group of “longer than 60 months”, “participating everyday”, “longer than 90 minutes” has shown the highest satisfaction rate both in leisure satisfaction and satisfaction of needs. And as to the constituent factors of quality of life according to the rate of leisure participation, the more steady participation of both sports leisure activities and non sports leisure activities has shown the big influence on the satisfaction rate of leisure and needs.
In the case of subjective quality of life, the group of “longer than 60 months”, “participating everyday” and “longer than 90 minutes” has shown high rate of life satisfaction and positive emotion and low rate of negative emotion. In addition, as to the subjective quality of life according to the rate of participating in leisure activities, the more steady participation of both sports leisure activities and non sports leisure activities has shown the positive influence on the life satisfaction and positive emotion.
On contrast, while the negative emotion is lessen by the frequent and long participation of sports leisure activities, it is lessen by steady participation of non sports leisure activities.
As to the constituent factors of quality of life (leisure satisfaction, satisfaction of needs) and subjective quality of life (life satisfaction, positive emotion and negative emotion), while the leisure satisfaction and the satisfaction of needs has influenced on the whole factors of quality of life in the sports leisure activities group, non sports leisure activities has meaningful influence on life satisfaction and positive emotion.
In other words, the elderlies who participate in sports leisure activities for a long period steadily has less stress and have the high satisfaction of quality of life on the whole.
Third, the causal pattern of the participation rate of leisure activities in old age, stress, constituent factors, subjective quality of life :
In the case of non sports leisure activity, the rate of leisure participation has meaningful influence on individual stress, subjective quality of life, satisfaction of needs and conflict stress. And individual stress has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life, satisfaction of needs and leisure satisfaction.
In the case of sports leisure activities, the rate of leisure participation has meaningful influence on individual stress, subjective quality of life, satisfaction of needs and conflict stress. And while individual stress has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life, satisfaction of needs and leisure satisfaction, the conflict stress has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life·And satisfaction of needs and leisure satisfaction has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life
As to the whole leisure, the rate of leisure participation has meaningful influence on individual stress, subjective quality of life, satisfaction of needs and conflict stress.
Individual stress has meaningful influence on satisfaction of needs, subjective quality of life and leisure satisfaction and conflict stress has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life. In addition, leisure satisfaction and satisfaction of needs has meaningful influence on subjective quality of life.
