الكلمات المفتاحية:
وقت الفراغ، النشاط الرياضي، الصحة النفسية، الجامعةالملخص
هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم مستوى ممارسة طلبة بعض الجامعات العربية للنشاط الرياضي ومستوى الصحة النفسية لديهم والكشف عن أثر ممارسة النشاط الرياضي في أوقات الفراغ على مستوى الصحة النفسية الإيجابية. ولتحقيق هذه الأهداف تم استخدام المنهج الوصفي المعتمد على استنتاج العلاقات بين المتغيرات من خلال تطبيق أداة تعتمد على التقدير الذاتي للنشاط الرياضي في أثناء وقت الفراغ ومقياس وورويك إدنبره للرفاهية النفسية (W-EMWBS) على عينة قوامها 703 (318 ذكر و385 أنثى) من المسجلين بجامعات عربية في كل من عمان والسعودية والأردن وفلسطين المحتلة بلغ متوسط أعمارهم (19.97 ± 1.86). وقد أظهرت المعالجات الإحصائية الوصفية أن 26% فقط من طلبة الجامعات العربية يمارسون الرياضة وفق المعدلات الموصى بها صحيا في حين أن 39% منهم لا يمارسون الرياضة إطلاقا، وأن مستوى الصحة النفسية لديهم يصنف ضمن المستويات الجيدة. وكشف تحليل التباين الثنائي عن عدم وجود أثر ذا دلالة لتفاعل كل من متغير النوع الاجتماعي ومستوى النشاط الرياضي مع الصحة النفسية (F (2، 655) = 1.799، p = 0.166)، بيد أنه كشف بأن الطلبة الذين يمارسون النشاطات الرياضية في أوقات فراغهم يتمتعون بمستويات أفضل من الصحة النفسية بالمقارنة بغيرهم من غير النشطين (قيمة p = 0.000) ولم تظهر الدراسة وجود فروق ذات دلالة بين الذكور والإناث في مستوى الصحة النفسية (قيمة p = 0.079). واستنتجت الدراسة أن ممارسة الرياضة في وقت الفراغ، ولو بمعدلات محدودة، يترافق مع ارتفاع مستوى الصحة النفسية لدى طلبة الجامعات وأوصت بضرورة تقديم المزيد من الدعم للنشاط الرياضي في الجامعات العربية لما للرياضة من أثر على تعزيز الصحة النفسية.
