Abstract

Background. Depression is one of the major public health concerns among older adults. Participation in preferred leisure activities has been found to be effective for reducing the symptoms of depression among this population. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the association between leisure participation and depression. Methods. A systematic review of PubMed, Academic Search Complete, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar yielded 12 studies published between 2010 and 2020 (total participants = 10,681) that met the criteria for a meta-analysis. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) was used to conduct the data analysis, and the correlation coefficient r was used as the effect size. Results. The average effect size across all 12 studies was -.221 (Fisher’s Z = -5.696, P <.001), indicating that participation in leisure activities had a significant negative effect on depression for the elderly. In addition, the Q-value (116.003, P <.001) and the I-squared value (90.517) proved substantial heterogeneity between the 12 studies in the meta-analysis. The symmetrical funnel plot produced by the CMA analysis demonstrated a possible absence of publication bias. Conclusion. This meta-analytic study reinforced the effectiveness of leisure participation in reducing the symptoms of depression among older adults © 2021, Annals of Applied Sport Science. All Rights Reserved.

老年人休闲参与与抑郁症状关系的Meta分析

背景。抑郁症是老年人的主要公共健康问题之一。研究发现，参加自己喜欢的休闲活动对减轻这一人群的抑郁症状是有效的。目标。本研究的目的是对休闲参与与抑郁之间的关系进行荟萃分析。方法。对PubMed、Academic Search Complete、PsycINFO和谷歌Scholar的系统回顾得出了2010年至2020年间发表的12项研究(总参与者= 10681)，这些研究符合元分析的标准。采用综合meta分析软件(Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software, CMA)进行数据分析，采用相关系数r作为效应量。结果。所有12项研究的平均效应值为- 0.221(Fisher’s Z = -5.696, P <.001)，表明参加休闲活动对老年人抑郁有显著的负向影响。此外，meta分析的q值(116.003,P <.001)和i平方值(90.517)证明12项研究之间存在显著的异质性。CMA分析产生的对称漏斗图显示可能没有发表偏倚。结论。这项荟萃分析研究加强了休闲参与在减轻老年人抑郁症状方面的有效性©2021,Annals of Applied Sport Science。版权所有。
