This study investigated the feasibility and acceptability of a new computer-tailored intervention promoting physical activity in a general population, and explored if there are differences in the reported feasibility and acceptability between stages of change, gender, age groups, education levels and familiarity with computer use. The computer-tailored intervention program consists of questionnaires concerning demographics, physical activity and psychosocial determinants, leading to a 'physical activity advice' and an 'action plan'. This feedback was constructed taking the stages of change into account, at content level as well as in the way participants were approached. One hundred and ninety-two participants, between 25 and 55 years of age, ran through the tailored materials, and completed an acceptability and feasibility questionnaire afterwards. This questionnaire contained feasibility and acceptability questions about all the intervention aspects: intervention questions, physical activity advice, action plan and computer use. High acceptability and feasibility scores were found for all intervention parts. Only a few significant differences in acceptability and feasibility scores between stages of change, gender, age groups, education levels and familiarity with computer use were found. These results suggest that this computer-tailored intervention is an acceptable and feasible tool for promoting physical activity for respondents having different stages of change, ages, gender, education levels and computer use.
本研究调查了一种新型计算机定制干预措施在普通人群中促进身体活动的可行性和可接受性，并探讨了在改变阶段、性别、年龄组、教育水平以及对计算机使用的熟悉程度方面，报告的可行性和可接受性是否存在差异。该计算机定制干预计划包括有关人口统计学、身体活动和心理社会决定因素的问卷，从而生成一份“身体活动建议”和一份“行动计划”。在构建此反馈时，在内容层面以及与参与者沟通的方式上都考虑了改变阶段。192名年龄在25至55岁之间的参与者浏览了定制材料，随后完成了一份关于可接受性和可行性的问卷。该问卷包含了关于所有干预方面的可行性和可接受性问题：干预问题、身体活动建议、行动计划以及计算机使用。所有干预部分的可接受性和可行性得分都很高。在改变阶段、性别、年龄组、教育水平以及对计算机使用的熟悉程度之间，仅发现了少数在可接受性和可行性得分上的显著差异。这些结果表明，对于处于不同改变阶段、年龄、性别、教育水平以及计算机使用情况的受访者而言，这种计算机定制干预措施是一种可接受且可行的促进身体活动的工具。
