The followings show the results obtained through the program. The hypothesis was supported. In the other words, the result of the analysis between pre and post leisure program was significantly higher at experiment group than control group. Also we examined the overall satisfaction level of the program, they ware generally positive evaluation of the program. But the satisfaction level for the time of the program is slightly low, because this program was conducted at farming season. With the above results, we say that the leisure program for rural elderly women would be effective on their life satisfaction. Therefore we expect that this leisure program can be implemented on rural elderly women. Also we suggest that the leisure program for the rural elderly women must be applied on the wider range of rural areas.
