摘要

背景：运动对慢性病患者有着无可争辩的优势。在自然环境中进行体育活动，即所谓的绿色运动，有助于身心健康。本研究的目的是调查慢性病患者和卫生专业人员的看法，以及对治疗性绿色运动的促进因素和障碍。方法：这是一项基于两个焦点小组的定性研究。得到了伦理方面的认可，并对讨论进行了专题分析。结果：7名患者和8名卫生专业人员参与了这项研究。专题分析产生了十三个主要主题。安全问题和基础设施不足是主要障碍。核心促进者是社会化和多感官接触。结论：慢性病患者和卫生专业人员认为，绿色运动可以提高体育活动的参与度，如果将其纳入康复过程，将是有益的。要让慢性病患者更容易获得治疗性绿色运动，还有一些挑战需要克服。

Barriers and Facilitators for Therapeutic Green Exercise in Patients with Chronic Conditions: A Qualitative Focus Group Study

Background: Exercise has indisputable advantages for people with chronic conditions. Engaging in physical activity within natural environments, known as green exercise, contributes to both physical and mental well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of people with chronic conditions and health professionals and the perceived facilitators and barriers to therapeutic green exercise. Methods: This was a qualitative study based on two focus groups. Ethical approval was received, and a thematic analysis was used to analyze the discussions. Results: Seven patients and eight health professionals participated in the study. The thematic analysis yielded thirteen main themes. Safety concerns and inadequate infrastructures were key barriers. Core facilitators were socialization, and multisensory exposure. Conclusions: Patients with chronic conditions and health professionals believe that green exercise improves physical activity engagement, and it would be beneficial if incorporated in the rehabilitation process. There are challenges to overcome to make therapeutic green exercise for people with chronic conditions more accessible.
