Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose: Aim of this study is to compare attitudes towards sports, physical activity levels and sleep quality of students of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department and Coaching Department. Material and Methods: 25 Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and 25 Coaching students participated in our study. Demographic information of participants was recorded in form prepared by researchers. Attitudes towards sports were evaluated with “Spora Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” (Attitude Towards Sports Scale) developed by Şentürk (2015), physical activity levels were evaluated with International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and sleep quality was evaluated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. SPSS 24.0 program was used for statistical analysis and significance value was accepted as p 0.05). Conclusion: With closure of universities and lockdown during COVID-19 period, time spent at home has increased and physical and social activity has decreased. This situation caused mental problems, especially sleep disorders, in students. With restriction of physical activity during COVID-19 period, number of individuals doing sports decreased, and number of inactive individuals increased. Results we obtained show that attitudes towards sports of students of Coaching department are higher than students of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation department, but there is no difference in their physical activity levels and sleep quality.

Özet

ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon bölümü ve Antrenörlük bölümü öğrencilerinin spora yönelik tutumlarının, fiziksel aktivite seviyelerinin ve uyku kalitelerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 25 Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon, 25 Antrenörlük bölümü öğrencisi katıldı. Katılımcıların demografik bilgileri araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan forma kaydedildi. Spora yönelik tutumları Şentürk (2015) tarafından geliştirilen Spora Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ile, fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi ile, uyku kaliteleri Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi ile değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizde SPSS 24.0 programı kullanıldı ve anlamlılık değeri p 0,05). Sonuç: COVID-19 döneminde üniversitelerin kapanması ve sokağa çıkma yasaklarının gündeme gelmesiyle evde geçirilen süre artmış, fiziksel ve sosyal aktivite azalmıştır. Bu durum öğrencilerde uyku bozuklukları başta olmak üzere mental problemler yaşanmasına sebep olmuştur. COVID-19 döneminde fiziksel aktivitenin kısıtlanmasıyla spor yapan bireylerin sayısı azalmış, inaktif bireylerin sayısı artmıştır. Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar Antrenörlük bölümü öğrencilerinin spora yönelik tutumlarının Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon bölümü öğrencilerine kıyasla daha yüksek olduğunu ancak fiziksel aktivite seviyelerinde ve uyku kalitelerinde fark olmadığını göstermektedir.
