Purpose: This study was to identify the correlation between leisure activities and smoking/drinking of middle school students.
Methods: Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 298 middle school students from the 2nd to 30th of September, 2009. Collected data were analyzed statistically using frequency, x2 test, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. The study used the Adolescent Leisure Time Activities Scale (ALTAS) developed by Yin et al. (1999) for types of leisure activities and the Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS) developed by Beard & Ragheb (1980).
Results: First, smoking/drinking caused significant differences in ’Socialization with friends’, and drinking also caused significant differences in ’Sport activities’. Second, leisure satisfaction was positively correlated with ’currently drinking’ (r=.126, p<.05). Third, significant factors influencing leisure satisfaction were grades, school life satisfaction, subjective health status, average daily leisure time, participation in leisure health program, and current drinking. These variables explained 23.4% of leisure satisfaction.
Conclusion: School nurses should develop and run programs, which promote healthy ways for middle school students with wrong ways such as drinking to get leisure satisfaction. Also family, school and community should be cooperatively
connected with one another.
