The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0, and the results found the following: According to factor analysis, leisure competence was divided into cognitive leisure competence and social leisure competence, while job satisfaction was classified into job satisfaction, actual job satisfaction, and mental job satisfaction. In addition, validity and reliability were confirmed for each factor. In correlation analysis, a positive correlation was found at a .001 significance level. According to regression analysis, social leisure competence had a positive effect on job satisfaction (p<.05), mental job satisfaction (p<.001), and actual job satisfaction (p<.001). In contrast, cognitive leisure competence revealed a positive influence only on actual job satisfaction (p<.001). Therefore, it is anticipated that cosmetologists could have satisfaction and pride as business owners and professionals if they could enhance the quality of life through active leisure activities.

Long-term effects of leisure education on leisure needs and stress in older adults

ABSTRACTWe examined whether a 12-week leisure education program could promote leisure autonomy and leisure competence and reduce stress in older adults. Forty subjects were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Before the experiment, pretest data were collected using leisure autonomy, leisure competence, and stress scales. After the experiment, posttest data were collected using the same scales; follow-up test data were collected a year later. These data were evaluated through an analysis of covariance. The results indicated that the average posttest and follow-up test scores of leisure autonomy and leisure competence in the experimental group were significantly higher than the corresponding scores in the control group and that the average posttest and follow-up test scores of stress in the experimental group were significantly lower than the corresponding scores in the control group. In the experimental group, the average posttest and follow-up test scores of leisure autonomy and leisure competence were significantly higher than the average pretest scores of leisure autonomy and leisure competence, whereas the average posttest and follow-up test scores of stress were significantly lower than the average pretest scores of stress. Therefore, health care practitioners should adopt the provision of leisure education as a priority to promote leisure autonomy and leisure competence and reduce stress in older adults.
