Abstract

Aims: Elderly people need vitality to survive. Fun and activity for the elderly creates a vibrant life. It boosts their self-esteem and saves them from being inactive and unproductive, which will ultimately improve their mental health. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between leisure time and mental health of the elderly in Tehran. Material and methods: This descriptive-analytical study was carried out on 413 elderly people aged 60 years and over in Tehran. The cluster random sampling method was used in four districts of Tehran. Data were collected using a standard public health questionnaire and a researcher-made leisure time questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 software using descriptive and inferential statistical tests such as frequency, standard deviation, Spearman and regression. Results: The most leisure activity in the elderly was watching television. There was a significant relationship between recreational classes and religious beliefs of elderly and their mental health (p-value <0/0001). Among the confounding factors, physical health had the most impact. Conclusion: Given the significant relationship between leisure classes and religious practices with the mental health of the elderly, planners should take the role of mosques, hospices and leisure-care providers such as municipalities seriously. On the other hand, considering the impact of physical health on the relationship between leisure time and mental health, it is necessary to provide places for the elderly to engage in sports and recreational activities.
