Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to study the influence of leisure-time physical activity on depression crises and the difficulty in performing light household tasks. Design/methodology/approach A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2020 European Health Survey in Spain. A total of 1,076 individuals diagnosed with depression were selected. ANOVA, chi-square, Fisher’s exact test and Mann–Whitney U test were applied, and a simple moderation analysis was conducted using the SPSS PROCESS 4.0 macro. Findings Women had higher percentages of some or much difficulty in performing domestic activities (p = 0.007). Differences were found between experiencing a crisis in the past 12 months versus not having one (p < 0.001): less physical activity was performed, perceived health was worse and difficulty in performing domestic activities increased. The moderation analysis confirmed the moderating effect of physical activity on the relationship between experiencing a crisis and having difficulty with domestic activities (p = 0.017). Research limitations/implications The usual limitation of descriptive cross-sectional studies, which cannot establish causal relationships, must be added to low sample sizes in some categories. Practical implications The analysis with gender differentiation, promoting gender-specific adapted practices, considering age and personal circumstances of the patient, appropriate exercise prescription, as well as its evaluation and follow-up, are areas where specialist nurses need to delve deeper to enhance the quality of care. Originality/value Leisure-time physical activity moderates the relationship between experiencing a crisis and having difficulty with light household tasks: those who engage in occasional physical activity have less difficulty compared to those who do not engage in it.
抑郁、轻微家务劳动和体育锻炼之间的性别调节关系:基于人群的调节分析
目的 本文旨在研究业余时间体育锻炼对抑郁症危机和轻度家务劳动难度的影响。设计/方法学/途径 一项基于人口的横断面研究使用了西班牙 2020 年欧洲健康调查的数据。共选取了 1076 名确诊为抑郁症的患者。采用方差分析、卡方检验、费雪精确检验和曼-惠特尼 U 检验,并使用 SPSS PROCESS 4.0 宏进行了简单的调节分析。在过去 12 个月中经历过危机与没有经历过危机之间存在差异(p < 0.001):进行的体育活动更少,认为健康状况更差,从事家务活动的难度增加。研究局限性/意义描述性横断面研究通常存在局限性,无法确定因果关系,而且某些类别的样本量较少。原创性/价值闲暇时的体育锻炼可调节经历危机与轻微家务劳动困难之间的关系:与不参加体育锻炼的人相比,偶尔参加体育锻炼的人遇到的困难较少。
