| Annotation | This investigation of 12 women sought information about their perceptions of leisure, control and freedom, by interviews and administration of components of the Leisure Diagnostic Battery (LDB). Six participants received a leisure education programme and the other six did not. Themes which emerged from analysis of interview information were: a changing leisure repertoire, a requirement to make decisions, a desire for control, and the importance of personal goals. Findings from the LDB were inconclusive, although increases in scores for the Leisure Education group on the Barriers to Leisure Involvement Scale may indicate a greater awareness of barriers as a result of the leisure education intervention. Overall, results indicate that leisure education may be a useful intervention for increasing perception of control and the development of goals by some women ageing with physical disabilities. |
