Abstract

To investigate the relationship between the time of participationof healthcareworkers in leisure timeactivities and occupational stress, psychological resilience and life satisfaction a total of 254 health workers were selected. The study was based on “Personal Information Form", "Psychological Endurance Scale", "Perceived Stress Scale" and “Life Satisfaction Scale". The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 24.0 software. Pearson moment product correlation coeff icient, independent sample t-test and ANOVA test were used to analyze the data obtained in the study. The relation between free time duration of health workers and perceived stress, psychological resilience and life satisfaction scales was examined; very poor correlation between perceived stress scale and free time period (r=- 0.136, p<0.05), positive correlation between psychological resilience scale and free time period (r=0.046, p<0.05) and life satisfaction scale very low positive correlation (r=0.092, p<0.05) was found between positive and free time and correlations were statistically signif icant. Spite of a lowlevel relationship was found between these variables, as a result of the increase in the free time period, the level of perceived stress decreased and the psychological resilience and lifesatisfaction increased.
