This study aimed to provide a descriptive summary of (1) group fitness instructors' (GFIs') experiences of occupational voice use and education, and (2) the content and mode of delivery desired by GFIs in an education and training program.
This is a qualitative inductive approach using a semi-structured interview.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight GFIs recruited via self-selection sampling. Participants were asked to comment on their experiences of voice use, voice education, and their preferences for future education and training.
Participants reported experiencing occupational voice difficulties, and cited inadequate voice education, faulty equipment, and apathetic fitness industry attitudes as core barriers to vocal health. Content focusing on vocal hygiene, safe occupational voice use, use of amplification equipment, and addressing industry attitudes to voice was desired by participants. A combination of face-to-face, web-based, and app-based delivery options was suggested.
The data from this study should be considered when designing a vocal education and training package tailored to the needs of GFIs and the fitness industry.
本研究旨在提供以下方面的描述性总结：（1）团体健身教练（GFIs）职业用嗓及相关教育的经历；（2）团体健身教练在教育培训项目中期望的内容及授课方式。
这是一项采用半结构化访谈的定性归纳研究。
通过自我选择抽样招募了8名团体健身教练进行半结构化访谈。参与者被要求就其用嗓经历、嗓音教育以及对未来教育培训的偏好发表意见。
参与者报告了职业用嗓方面的困难，并指出嗓音教育不足、设备故障以及健身行业冷漠态度是影响嗓音健康的核心障碍。参与者希望培训内容聚焦于嗓音卫生、安全职业用嗓、扩音设备使用以及改变行业对嗓音问题的态度。他们建议采用面对面、基于网络和基于应用程序相结合的授课方式。
在设计针对团体健身教练和健身行业需求的嗓音教育培训包时，应考虑本研究的数据。
