Abstract: (1199 Views)
Background: The relationship between leisure time and work time has long been considered as an important factor in creating job motivation and job satisfaction. Leisure time physical activity can promote mental and physical health among personnel working in stressful atmospheres, including hospitals. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factors inhibiting leisure time physical activity among the personnel of Isfahan educational hospitals. Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional included 345 people randomly selected by multistage cluster stratified random sampling from the personnel of educational hospitals in Isfahan. Data was collected by a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and explanatory factor analysis were used for analyzing data. Findings: The results demonstrated the sequence of personal, interpersonal and structural functions of the hierarchical model as inhibiting factors for leisure time physical activity. Structural, personal and interpersonal factors were respectively the most important factors. Among structural factors, economic factors were the main inhibiting factors for participating in leisure time physical activity. Conclusion: According to our results, hospital managers must try to decrease inhibiting, especially structural, factors. They should pay attention to demographic and professional characteristics of their personnel in decision-making in order to have more energetic and highly productive workforce.
