Abstract

Purpose: To explore participants' experiences with the Physio-Feedback Exercise Program (PEER) and potential barriers to access and adoption of the program.

Method: The current qualitative descriptive study was conducted among 32 older adults aged ≥60 years in Central Florida who participated in the PEER. A semi-structured interview guide was used to obtain participants' experiences with the program. They were individually interviewed and audio recorded. Responses were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results: Four major themes emerged: Positive Aspects of Using Technology, Sociocultural Influence on Participation, Impact of the PEER, and Barriers and Challenges to the PEER.

Conclusion: Participants were satisfied with the intervention and made healthier lifestyle changes to improve their health. They adopted the program and intended to continue practicing what they learned beyond the program. Future studies should address barriers to adopting and sustaining the PEER.

老年人的经验和感知障碍获取和采用基于技术的身体反馈锻炼计划。

目的：探讨参与者对物理反馈运动计划（PEER）的体验以及进入和采用该计划的潜在障碍。方法：目前的定性描述性研究在佛罗里达州中部32名年龄≥60岁的老年人中进行，他们参加了PEER。采用半结构化访谈指南来获取参与者对该计划的体验。他们被单独采访并录音。回答被逐字抄录、编码，并使用主题分析进行分析。结果：出现了四个主要主题：使用技术的积极方面，社会文化对参与的影响，同伴的影响，以及对同伴的障碍和挑战。结论：参与者对干预感到满意，并改变了更健康的生活方式以改善他们的健康状况。他们接受了这个项目，并打算在项目之外继续实践他们所学到的东西。今后的研究应解决采用和维持PEER的障碍。[老年护理研究，xx(x)， xx-xx.]

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
