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. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 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.
