Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how leisure programs are utilized by senior welfare centers, and analyze the relationship between the degree of satisfaction and the resulting effect on the depressive emotions and psychological well-being of program participants. To that end, a survey was made on 128 persons aged 65 or over who were participating in leisure programs at 2 senior centers located in Seoul. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS Ver. 21. The findings were as follows: First, the most satisfactory program was Sing-Along program, while the reason for using senior welfare centers was for meeting friends and the most favorite program was hobby classes; Second, significant differences were found in depressive emotions according to age and educational background and in psychological well-being according to educational background. Third, the degree of satisfaction in programs had a meaningful relationship with depressive emotion and well-being; Fourth, there was no mediating effect of psychological well-being between the degree of program satisfaction and depressive emotion.
