研究目的：在一组60岁及以上的超重和肥胖老年人中，探讨减少久坐行为的个人、社会、环境和计划相关的动机、障碍和影响。设计和方法：在减少久坐行为干预后，对24名参与者进行半结构化访谈。这些访谈的记录由一个团队迭代编码，并在社会生态框架的指导下定义和提炼关键主题。结果：动机包括改善健康的愿望、对某人的新认识、将减少某人纳入当前生活方式的便利性、适应性环境和提醒的使用。障碍包括现有的健康状况、享受久坐不动的活动、不适应环境、疲劳以及难以理解与体力活动(PA)不同的SB减少。参与者报告了对身心健康的影响，以及意识、锻炼和日常活动的变化。影响：尽管在许多方面减少SB的动机和障碍与PA相似，但SB干预有特殊考虑，最终可能更容易让一些人融入他们的生活方式。
Purpose of the Study: To explore individual, social, environmental, and program-related motivators, barriers, and impacts of sedentary behavior (SB) reduction among a group of overweight and obese older adults aged 60 and older.Design and Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 participants following a SB reduction intervention. Transcripts from these interviews were iteratively coded by a team, and key themes were defined and refined guided by the social-ecological framework.Results: Motivators included the desire to improve health, newly acquired awareness of SB, the ease of incorporating SB reduction into current lifestyle, an adaptable environment, and the use of reminders. Barriers included existing health conditions, enjoyment of sedentary activities, unadaptable environments, fatigue, and difficulty understanding SB reduction as distinct from physical activity (PA). Participants reported impacts on physical and mental health and changes in awareness, exercise, and daily activity.Implications: Although in many ways motivators and barriers to reducing SB are similar to those of PA, SB interventions have special considerations and may ultimately be easier for some individuals to incorporate into their lifestyle.
