Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for heart disease. With heart disease as the leading cause of death in women, barriers to physical activity require exploration. Low-income women are the least likely to be physically active. The purpose of this study was to explore perceived barriers to physical activity in low-income women. Focus group methodology and content analysis were used to identify 16 perceived barriers in 14 participants of the study. The top barriers were: fatigue, culture, health problems, absence of child care, and lack of encouragement. These findings have implications for physical activity interventions with low-income women.
缺乏身体活动是心脏病的一个可改变的风险因素。鉴于心脏病是女性死亡的主要原因，需要探究身体活动的障碍。低收入女性最不可能进行身体活动。本研究的目的是探究低收入女性感知到的身体活动障碍。采用焦点小组方法和内容分析法，在该研究的14名参与者中确定了16个感知到的障碍。首要障碍包括：疲劳、文化、健康问题、缺乏儿童保育以及缺乏鼓励。这些研究结果对针对低收入女性的身体活动干预具有启示意义。
