Özet:

 Aim: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between physical activity levels and the quality of life of rectorate staff who have been working at a state university for at least one year. Method: The study, conducted from June 2021 to January 2022, included adults aged 30-65 who were predominantly sedentary in their occupational roles, had a body mass index greater than 18.5 kgm², and had been employed at the state university rectorate for at least one year. A total of 60 participants were enrolled. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the SF-36 Health Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and the TANITA MC-780 Black Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis BIA for measuring body mass index were utilized as assessment instruments. Results: The examination of the sub-dimensions of the SF-36 revealed the following mean scores: physical function was 69.4318.65, physical role difficulty was 74.1735.04, emotional role difficulty was 73.4528.21, pain was 78.4220.43, energyvitality was 56.256.61, social functioning was 71.7120.23, mental health was 49.27.33, and general health was 50.1312.48. The Total Physical Activity Score was 2876.021547.95. No statistically significant correlation was observed between the participants physical activity levels and their overall quality of life p0.05. However, a significant difference was detected between physical function and gender p0.05. Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate that the participants generally exhibited a satisfactory quality of life, as measured by the SF-36. However, it was noted that certain aspects, such as physical function and general health, were comparatively lower among the participants. Despite the expectation that higher physical activity levels would correlate with an enhanced quality of life, the analysis did not reveal a statistically significant relationship between these variables.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinde en az bir yıldır çalışan rektörlük personelinin fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile yaşam kaliteleri arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışma Haziran 2021den Ocak 2022ye kadar yürütülmüş olup mesleki rollerinde ağırlıklı olarak hareketsiz olan, vücut kitle indeksi 18,5 kgm²den fazla olan ve en az bir yıldır devlet üniversitesi rektörlüğünde çalışan 30-65 yaş arası yetişkinler dahil edilmiştir. Toplam 60 katılımcı çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Değerlendirme araçları olarak Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi, SF-36 Sağlık Formu-36 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ve vücut kitle indeksini ölçmek için TANITA MC-780 Siyah Biyoelektrik Empedans Analizi BIA kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: SF-36 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeğinin alt boyutları incelendiğinde, fiziksel fonksiyon 69,4318,65, fiziksel rol güçlüğü 74,1735,04, duygusal rol güçlüğü 73,4528,21, ağrı 78,4220,43, enerjicanlılıkvitalite 56,256,61, sosyal fonksiyon 71,7120,23, mental sağlık 49,27,33 ve genel sağlık ortalamaları 50,1312,48 olarak bulunmuştur. Toplam Fiziksel Aktivite Skoru 2876.021547.95 olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile yaşam kaliteleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır p0.05. Fiziksel fonksiyon ile cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur p0.05. Sonuç: Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular, katılımcıların SF-36 ile ölçüldüğü üzere genel olarak tatmin edici bir yaşam kalitesi sergilediklerini göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, fiziksel işlev ve genel sağlık gibi bazı hususların katılımcılar arasında nispeten daha düşük olduğu kaydedilmiştir. Daha yüksek fiziksel aktivite seviyelerinin daha iyi bir yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkili olacağı beklentisine rağmen, analiz bu değişkenler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki ortaya koymamıştır.
