ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the impact of healthcare workers’ job stress (JS) from fear of COVID-19 (FC) on travel intentions (TI) and willingness to pay (WTP). It also investigates the direct path between FC and WTP. Moreover, it tests the moderation role of FC on the relationship between healthcare workers’ JS and TI. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the data gathered from 401 frontline registered nurses working in pandemic hospitals in Turkey. The findings revealed that healthcare workers have the intention to travel and are willing to pay more for additional safety measures. The findings also indicated that FC negatively moderates the link between JS and TI. The results of this study provide theoretical and practical implications for tourism practitioners and marketers.

ABSTRACT This study empirically assesses the importance of common hotel attributes for German leisure travellers in general, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived importance in particular. We used desk research to extract the most common hotel attributes from the literature, interviews with experts for verification, a survey of potential hotel guests using an online-questionnaire with rating scales. The data thus collected was analyzed using nonparametric tests to identify the essential hotel attributes and indicate differences in perceived importance between several subgroups. Our analysis shows that cleanliness of the room/bath and price/performance ratio were considered to be the most important attributes for German leisure travellers in the pre-pandemic phase. Significant differences were observed for several attributes depending on gender, age, income, experience, and peer-to-peer accommodations, indicating a high degree of target-group heterogeneity. The COVID-19 pandemic seems to rearrange the importance of some attributes and the travel behaviour.

ABSTRACT The lived experience of dementia includes loss of identity due to the negative and pessimistic social narratives that are stigmatizing and socially isolating. In the community-based participatory research (CBPR) project Raising the Curtain on the Lived Experiences of Dementia, eleven individuals living with dementia participated as ‘peer collaborators’ in weekly co-creative workshops over two years. The purpose of this study was to investigate how peer collaborators described their involvement in Raising the Curtain in relation to their social participation and ability to effect social messages about dementia. Data gathered from the workshops, including transcripts (8) and one-on-one evaluation interviews (103), were used for analysis. Research findings revealed that the participants’ engagement as peer collaborators fostered their ability to enact resistance and social citizenship, including sharing lived experiences, combating the stigma of dementia, engendering inclusion and belonging, and promoting advocacy. Using CBPR to foster social citizenship suggests that meaningful and purposeful approaches to leisure are possible for individuals living with dementia.

RÉSUMÉ Plusieurs recherches ont démontré que le loisir familial amène de multiples bienfaits pour les familles autant sur le plan de la cohésion et l’adaptabilité familiales que celui de leur qualité de vie générale. Cependant, le quotidien des familles vivant avec un enfant handicapé est rempli de plusieurs défis et la place du loisir dans ce milieu de vie peut être moins importante. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’explorer les besoins en loisir familial des parents d’un enfant handicapé. L’analyze des groupes de discussion présente la place accordée au loisir dans leur vie, l’influence de la dynamique familiale et les types de pratiques ainsi que les obstacles. Des besoins et des formes d’aide désirées sont aussi abordés.

ABSTRACT Interventions such as painted designs on school tarmacs may increase children’s physical activity during school hours. This mixed-methods study examined the influence of a painted designs (e.g., traditional games, random circles) intervention on the physical activity experiences of elementary school children. Systematic observations and accelerometer data were collected to evaluate the type and quantity of student physical activity. Interviews were used to explore teacher and student experiences. Observed physical activity was not significantly different between intervention and control schools (t(43) = 0.22, p = 0.83), and children at the intervention schools undertook less physical activity (steps, moderate, vigorous, and combined moderate-to-vigorous activity) as compared with the control school (t = 2.71–4.35, p < 0.05). Teachers and students commented that the painted designs were confusing but held potential for inclusiveness, physical activity, and learning. Additional resources and instruction may assist in better use of painted designs for physical activity and academic learning.
在学校停机坪上绘制图案等干预措施可能会增加儿童在校期间的身体活动。本研究考察了绘画设计(如传统游戏、随机圆圈)干预对小学生体育活动体验的影响。收集系统观察和加速度计数据来评估学生体育活动的类型和数量。访谈是用来探讨教师和学生的经验。观察到的身体活动在干预学校和对照学校之间没有显著差异(t(43) = 0.22, p = 0.83)，干预学校的儿童进行的身体活动(步步、中等、剧烈和中至剧烈联合活动)比对照学校少(t = 2.71-4.35, p < 0.05)。老师和学生们评论说，这些绘画设计令人困惑，但具有包容性、体育活动和学习的潜力。额外的资源和指导可能有助于更好地将绘画设计用于体育活动和学术学习。

ABSTRACT This study used a pragmatic measurement approach to examine changes in physical literacy (PL) and physical activity (PA) behaviour outcomes associated with a community-based PL programme for youth with and without disabilities. A single group, pre-post study was conducted with 67 youth (68.7% male; 62.7% with a disability; 12.2 ±1.7 years) participating in a 16-week, inclusive PL programme offered across three community sites. Valid, age-appropriate outcome measures were completed at baseline and post-programme. Gains were found in movement competence (Cohen’s dz = 0.99; n = 46), overall self-regulated motivation (dz = 0.29; n = 43), confidence (dz = 0.15 to 0.21; n = 43), and minutes spent in moderate PA behaviour (dz = 0.83; n = 20). Peer relationships ratings (n = 35) indicated strong social support, and mean weekly attendance was 78.5% (n = 62). Findings provide evidence of gains in PL, particularly motor competence, and PA behaviour outcomes associated with PL programme participation in youth with and without disabilities.

ABSTRACT Social media marketing efforts have been considered an essential role for businesses to stay in the competition and ensure the prosperity of the business world. This study aims to investigate the decisive role of two types of social media brand communication, namely firm-created content (FCC) and user-generated content (UGC), on customer engagement. Drawing on 257 fans of a coffee shop page on Facebook and using the structural equation modelling approach, the finding of this study indicated that FCC and UGC are significant predictors of customer engagement in the form of ‘like,’ ‘share,’ and ‘comment.’ The results indicate that UGC is a stronger predictor of liking and sharing than FCC, but that the effect of FCC on commenting is greater than that of UGC. The findings of this study contribute to the leisure context by examining the effect of two types of social media brand communication on customer engagement.

ABSTRACT The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Final Report and Calls to Action highlighted the need for the truth about Indian residential schools to be known and the responsibility of churches and religious groups to take action to enact reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Summer camps for Indigenous youth run by Christian organizations in Canada are sites that have not yet been given scholarly attention. Within this context, ‘What is happening in these spaces’ is a simple question, but one behind which is the heavy weight of residential school history and the TRC’s Calls to Action. In this paper, we share the results of our research, which was informed by a settler colonial studies lens, and internet-mediated document analysis of camp websites, as well as questionnaires and semi-structured interviews completed with those who operate and work at these camps. Our research addresses an important, but neglected, area of study and makes a timely and applied contribution to leisure studies.

ABSTRACT This study examines the extent to which individual and area-level socioeconomic statuses (SES) correlate with the preferences and participation in physical activities during leisure time. A multistage, random clustered sample taken from the China Health and Nutrition Survey of 2015 was used. Results from multi-level analyses indicated that both individual income and area-level SES were significantly associated with participation in walking, whereas individual educational attainment was positively associated with participation in sports. Moreover, leisure preference mediated the relationship between individual SES, area-level SES, and participation in sports. Based on these findings, this article suggests that both individual and area-level influences should be taken into account when developing health policies to promote active lifestyles. In addition, mediation effect of leisure preference in LTPA should be emphasized when implementing intervention program.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected rural low-income mothers due to intersecting and compounding factors such as gender, race, income, and disability, among others. In this study, we utilized socialist feminist theory to explore the impacts COVID-19 had on rural low-income mothers’ capacity to facilitate leisure and support their families’ well-being. Through semi-structured interviews with 29 rural low-income mothers, our findings indicated that these women were uniquely challenged with having to balance paid and unpaid work and entertaining children at home while dealing with pandemic-related employment insecurity. These mothers were disadvantaged due to inaccessible personal leisure resources, intensified by the closure of public parks and trails.
