This study aimed to explore how stroke survivors deal with stroke-related impairments when rebuilding their lives in the community and their experiences of exercising at home.
An explorative and descriptive qualitative study.
A purposive sample of ten stroke survivors residing at home was recruited to explore experiences of rebuilding their lives in the community and exercising at home. One focus group interview was conducted followed by semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
Three main themes were identified: "Framing exercise within the context of everyday life" describes how stroke survivors integrate exercise in everyday activities with varying success and the social importance of exercising; "Managing the challenges of physical impairment" describes the taxing undertakings in daily living, loss of concentration and identity; "Long-term challenges of everyday life" describes how the stroke survivors manage depression and live with a sense of uncertainty.
本研究旨在探讨中风幸存者在社区中重建生活时如何应对与中风相关的障碍,以及他们在家中锻炼的体验。
探索性和描述性的定性研究。
招募了 10 名居住在家中的中风幸存者进行有针对性的抽样,以探讨他们在社区中重建生活和在家中锻炼的体验。进行了一次焦点小组访谈,随后进行了半结构化访谈。使用主题分析对数据进行分析。
确定了三个主要主题:“将锻炼纳入日常生活的框架”描述了中风幸存者如何将锻炼融入日常活动中,取得了不同程度的成功,以及锻炼的社会重要性;“管理身体障碍的挑战”描述了日常生活中的繁重任务、注意力和身份的丧失;“日常生活的长期挑战”描述了中风幸存者如何应对抑郁和生活在不确定感中。
