To examine an organizational level perspective of the process of adopting Web-based tailored nutrition and physical activity programs for community college students.
In this qualitative study, 21 individual key informant interviews of community college student services and health center administrators were used to examine organizational-level perceptions of interest in, design characteristics of, and ways to promote health programs. A cross-classification matrix of a priori and emergent themes related to student diversity was created to describe cross-cutting patterns.
Findings revealed 5 emergent themes for consideration in program development related to student diversity: (1) multiple roles played by students, (2) limited access to financial resources, (3) varied student demographics, (4) different levels of understanding, and (5) commuting to campus.
Nutrition and physical activity programs for community colleges need to specifically address the diverse nature of their students to increase the potential of adoption.
从组织层面探讨为社区大学生采用基于网络的定制化营养和体育活动项目的过程。
在这项定性研究中,对 21 名社区学院学生服务和健康中心管理人员进行了 21 次个体关键知情人访谈,以考察组织层面对于社区大学生健康项目的兴趣、设计特点和推广方式的看法。为了描述交叉模式,创建了一个与学生多样性相关的先验和新兴主题的交叉分类矩阵。
研究结果揭示了与学生多样性相关的项目开发中需要考虑的 5 个新兴主题:(1)学生扮演的多重角色,(2)获取财务资源的有限性,(3)学生人口统计学的多样性,(4)理解程度的不同,以及(5)通勤到校园。
针对社区大学的营养和体育活动项目需要特别针对学生的多样性,以增加其采用的可能性。
