dc.description.abstractElders who stayed at Konya Central Rest Home and Akşehir Rest Home in 2003 have formed the cosmos of the present study, which was undertaken to investigate the effects of physical activities on levels of hopelessness in elders staying at rest homes. Beck Hopelessness Scale (Beck 1974) was administered at the beginning and end of the study to a total of 78 elders, of whom 21 were female and 57 were male, and who were chosen via random sampling method. The exercise program, which was prepared for 3 days each lasting 45 minutes, was administered to the subjects for 8 weeks. The collected data were statistically examined with t test, f test, variance analysis and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and a significance at the level of p<0.05 was sought. The findings of the study revealed that the exercise activities administered to the female and male elders staying at the rest homes for 8 weeks reduced their hopelessness levels (p<0.05). An analysis of the elders' hopelessness levels in terms of the sex variable revealed that female and male elders exhibited identical hopelessness levels. A comparison of the pre-test and post-test applied revealed that hopelessness levels declined more in women that in men as a result of the exercise program (p<0.05). In conclusion, physical activities administered to the elders at rest homes reduced their hopelessness levels thereby affecting them positively.en_US
