This study attempted to explore the barriers to physical activity of older patients with Hypertension. It aimed to provide robust evidence produced through their eyes. First, through the data analysis of the accelerometer and the decision of the research team, 10 out of the 30 applicants were invited to participate in a photovoice study. Photovoice is one example of participatory action research. Photovoice participants can communicate their unique experiences through photographs, providing a highly realistic and authentic perspective that is not possible to be understood with traditional qualitative research. This study inductively identified four main themes; health illiteracy, distortion of health information, fear of physical activity, and rejection of any life changes. Based on a specific understanding of the population's perception of physical activity, this study attempted to provide evidence of why many elderly Korean patients with Hypertension stay inactive.
本研究试图探讨老年高血压患者身体活动的障碍。它旨在通过他们的眼睛提供有力的证据。首先，通过加速度计的数据分析和研究团队的决策，从 30 名申请人中邀请了 10 名参加影像叙事研究。影像叙事是参与式行动研究的一个例子。影像叙事的参与者可以通过照片来传达他们独特的经历，提供一种传统定性研究无法理解的高度真实和真实的视角。本研究归纳出四个主要主题：健康素养低下、健康信息扭曲、对身体活动的恐惧以及拒绝任何生活改变。基于对该人群对身体活动的感知的具体理解，本研究试图提供证据，说明为什么许多韩国老年高血压患者不活跃。
