Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect that the level of leisure activity participation and satisfaction for the parents of disabled children has on their self-esteem. For this study, a survey was conducted on 185 parents of disabled children in ○○ city of Chungcheongbuk-do Province from January 10, 2015 to March 10, 2015. Using the SPSS program, we conducted frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis of the sociodemographical characteristics data as well as multiple regression analysis to identify the effect that leisure participation and leisure satisfaction has on self-esteem. The results showed that, first, higher level of leisure activity participation of parents with disabled children, both for dynamic leisure and silent leisure was correlated with higher self-esteem. Second, self-esteem was high when leisure activity satisfaction of parents with disabled children was high for educational, psychological, and environmental satisfactions. This study implies that it will provide a useful preliminary data for the development of leisure programs and leisure policies to promote active leisure activity participation for parents of disabled children, which will lead to their leisure activity satisfaction and ultimately improve their self-esteem.
