How people with mental health problems perceive the conditions that make it easier or harder for them to participate in organised leisure activities?
MÍKOVÁ, Jana
The master's thesis presents the results of a qualitative research interviewing five respondents with mental health issues or psychiatric disorders. Respondents share their experiences with organized leisure activities, both past and ongoing. The research aims to describe how respondents perceive the conditions of organized leisure activities that facilitate or hinder their participation. Five main themes were identified in the respondents' statements: educators' approach, activity organisation and rules, evaluation or criticism, the environment, and parental attitudes. The research findings can assist leisure educators in understanding the experiences of individuals with mental health challenges. This understanding, coupled with empathy and a willingness to adopt an individualized approach, provides people with mental health issues a better chance to experience meaningful leisure time.
