Description

<p>Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between community consciousness and experience as parents in school among elderly people participating in regional sports.</p><p>Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire survey with 766 residents aged 60 years and over who participated in the region’s sports programs. The questionnaire covered socio-demographic characteristics, experience as a parent in school, and community consciousness. We conducted a binomial logistic regression analysis with community consciousness as a dependent variable, experience as a parent in school as the independent variable, and gender, age, years of residence, occupation, living arrangement, marital status, and place of residence during raising children as covariates.</p><p>Results: The binomial logistic regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between community consciousness and attending school events (OR [95%CI]=3.48 [1.44, 8.40]), setting up school events (2.40 [1.45, 4.00]), parents’ and teachers’ association activities (1.76 [1.10, 2.82]), teachers’ and parents’ social interactions (1.81 [1.14, 2.87]), social capital among parents (1.86 [1.16, 2.97]), and trust in school (3.10 [1.74, 5.52]).</p><p>Conclusion: We confirmed a significant positive relationship between community consciousness and relationships with other parents and neighbors through experience as parents in school among elderly people participating in regional sports.</p>
