Abstract:
This study investigated the relationships between perceived leisure benefits, occupational balance, and psychological well-being among women in rural Türkiye with low educational levels. A total of 120 women participated, completing the Occupational Balance Questionnaire, Leisure Benefits Scale, and WHO-5 Well-Being Index. Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between well-being and occupational balance, total leisure benefits, and leisure subdomains including physical, psychological, and social benefits. Regression analysis showed that only occupational balance was significantly associated with well-being. These findings emphasize the importance of structured daily routines and suggest that occupational therapists can develop community-based interventions to promote women's health.
