the purpose of this pre-feasibility study was to examine perceptions and experiences of a Sit-to-stand activity with urban Brazilian community-dwelling older people in their homes.
the exploration method was focused ethnography. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 older people. Five means of data generation were used, namely: socio-demographic surveys, participant observations, informal interviews, formal semi-structured interviews, and field notes. Data analysis was qualitative content analysis.
the experience of mobility-challenged older people with the Sit-to-stand activity was dependent on their mobility expectations involving many factors that worked together to influence their beliefs and attitudes towards the activity, preferences, behaviors, and cultural perceptions. The participants of this study seemed to find the activity enjoyable; however, the most noticeable shortcomings for their engagement in the Sit-to-stand activity emerged as gaps in their personal and intrapersonal needs.
the recommendations generated from the study findings call for the design of implementation strategies for the Sit-to-stand intervention that are tailored to this particular population's needs.
本预可行性研究旨在探讨巴西城市社区居住的老年人在其家中对坐站活动的认知和体验。
探索性方法采用聚焦民族志。采用目的抽样招募了 20 名老年人。使用了五种数据生成方式，即：社会人口学调查、参与观察、非正式访谈、正式半结构化访谈和现场记录。数据分析采用定性内容分析。
行动受限的老年人对坐站活动的体验取决于他们对活动的期望，涉及许多因素共同作用，影响他们对活动的信念和态度、偏好、行为和文化认知。本研究的参与者似乎觉得该活动很有趣；然而，对于他们参与坐站活动最引人注目的缺点是他们个人和人际需求方面的差距。
研究结果提出的建议呼吁为该特定人群的需求量身定制坐站干预的实施策略。
