A qualitative exploration of the experiences of primary care patients engaged in email counseling meant to increase physical activity

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

As insufficient physical activity is a widespread public health problem, the patients&apos; perspective and experiences during their efforts to increase levels of physical activity need to be explored and elucidated. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to qualitatively analyze the patient-written email messages in order to explore patients&apos; experiences during a 12-week pedometer-based physical activity intervention in a primary care setting that was paired with email counseling. Methods: The content of 31 email messages from 10 participants was extracted, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: We identified 22 themes that were grouped into 3 categories: reflections on the pedometer-based intervention, use of behavior change techniques, and barriers that affected participants&apos; engagement in physical activity. We have also anecdotally described several interesting aspects of behavior change techniques: negative attitudes elicited by the goal setting process, learning from their own data, and enjoyment associated with self-monitoring. Conclusion: Qualitatively analyzing email messages written as part of the physical activity counseling process is useful in documenting patients&apos; perceptions and use of different behavior change techniques and their reported barriers that get in the way of increasing their physical activity.
