Abstract
ObjectivesThis study was conducted to determine the relationship between green space usage habits and physical activity in young adults.DesignA cross‐sectional and correlational design.SampleThe study was conducted with 455 young adults who were studying at a faculty between February and May 2023.MeasurementsThe research data were collected face‐to‐face using a form prepared by the researchers in line with the literature and tested before collection. The form includes questions about green space use habits, green exercise levels, and leisure time activities in green spaces.ResultsThe probability of male young adults to do physical activity in green spaces compared to women aOR: 2.4 (95% CI: 1.4–3.9, p = .001), the probability of young adults with higher family income to do physical activity in green spaces than those with low‐income aOR: 5.4 (95% CI: 2.7–10.8, p < .001), the probability of young adults who do physical activity in indoor spaces to do physical activity in green spaces compared to those who do not aOR: 2.4 (95% CI: 1.5–3.6, p < .001), 500 m away from the green space aOR: 2.8 (95% CI: 1.6–4.9, p < .001) is more likely for those living farther away to engage in physical activity in green spaces than those living closer than 100 m.ConclusionsYoung adults' gender, income, distance to green spaces, and sports activities under various conditions have an impact on physical activity in open green spaces.
期刊介绍:
Public Health Nursing publishes empirical research reports, program evaluations, and case reports focused on populations at risk across the lifespan. The journal also prints articles related to developments in practice, education of public health nurses, theory development, methodological innovations, legal, ethical, and public policy issues in public health, and the history of public health nursing throughout the world. While the primary readership of the Journal is North American, the journal is expanding its mission to address global public health concerns of interest to nurses.
