可穿戴运动跟踪器具有增加体力活动的研究工具的潜力。然而，用户对可穿戴设备的长期忠诚度较低，这可能是因为对与使用相关的因素以及与健康行为理论的关系了解有限。这项研究的目的是定性地探索活跃的成年用户和非用户对可穿戴设备的感知。研究结果将通过应用自主决定理论，为坚持和采用可穿戴设备提供潜在的障碍和促进者。进行了六个焦点小组，并将其平均分为可穿戴用户(n = 10)和非用户(n = 10)。使用创建第一级代码的迭代方法对数据进行音频记录、转录和分析。随后开发了允许生成主题的第二级代码。对于用户来说，可穿戴设备的反馈为他们提供了认可、成就感和其他决定的动力。用户欣赏可穿戴设备的功能，特别是更简单、更新的型号。他们还报告了健康行为的改善。虽然用户和非用户对可穿戴设备的总体感觉都是积极的，但他们对成本、负罪感、依赖性和准确性也有类似的担忧。非用户对可穿戴设备的物质主义和功能(即易用性和收费)的担忧是独一无二的。此外，他们似乎更倾向于通过减少对可穿戴设备潜在的外部动力来源的依赖来进行身体活动。研究结果表明，尽管成年用户和非用户都对可穿戴设备持有积极的看法，并对内疚和依赖感感到担忧，但对身体活动的动机以及对成本、物质主义和功能的担忧可能会阻止广泛采用和遵守。
Wearable activity trackers hold potential as a research tool to increase physical activity. However, long-term wearable adherence is low among users, which may be due to the limited understanding of the factors related to use and relation to health behavior theory. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the perceptions of wearables among active adult users and non-users. Findings will inform potential barriers and facilitators for the adherence and adoption of wearables through the application of the Self-Determination Theory. Six focus groups were conducted and equally stratified to wearable users (n = 10) and non-users (n = 10). Data were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using an iterative approach creating first-level codes. This was followed by developing second-level codes that allowed for generating themes. For users, the wearables’ feedback provided them with validation, a sense of achievement, and other-determined motivation. Users appreciated the functionality of wearables, particularly with simpler and newer models. They also reported improvements in health behaviors. While both users and non-users had a general positive feeling towards wearables, they held similar concerns about cost, guilt, dependency, and accuracy. Non-users were unique in their concerns for materialism and functionality (i.e. ease of use and charge) associated with wearables. They also seemed to be more intrinsically motivated to be physically active by relying less on external sources of motivation as potentially provided by wearables. Findings show that while both adult users and non-users held positive perceptions of wearables and concerns for feelings of guilt and dependency, widespread adoption and adherence may be prevented by differences in motivation for physical activity and concerns for cost, materialism, and functionality.
