Abstract (57 Views)
Aims: Veterans and Disabled Individuals frequently experience psychological challenges, which adversely affect their quality of life and social reintegration. Physical activity has been proposed as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve these mental health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate The Role of Physical Activity in Resilience and Social Phobia in Veterans and Disabled Individuals.
Methodology: The present study is descriptive. The statistical sample of the present study consisted of 91 male veterans who did not have any acute problems in terms of physical condition and appearance and were selected using the convenience sampling method. To measure social phobia, the 17-question questionnaire of Connor et al. (2000) was used, to measure resilience, the 25-question scale of Connor and Davidson (2003) was used, and to measure physical activity, the 5-question Sharkey Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using multivariate regression test using SPSS 25 software.
Findings: The results revealed a significant correlation between physical activity and resilience (p < 0.05, r = 0.37), physical activity and social phobia (p < 0.05, r = -0.39), and resilience and social phobia (p < 0.05, r = -0.25). Furthermore, regression analyses indicated that physical activity accounted for approximately 16% of the variance in social phobia and 8% of the variance in resilience.
Conclusion: physical activity significantly enhances resilience and reduces social phobia, in veterans and disabled individuals. Integrating tailored exercise programs into veteran rehabilitation services may promote psychological well-being and facilitate social reintegration.
