摘要:

在美国,阿尔茨海默病(AD)家庭成员的非正式照顾者人数正在急剧上升。AD照顾者不成比例地经历许多健康问题,并且经常被孤立,几乎没有支持。积极的生活方式可以帮助预防和减轻AD护理人员的身心健康问题。研究已经证明了如何普遍exergames可以鼓励体力活动(PA)在一般人群中,但很少有工作探讨这些工具可以解决AD护理人员面临的重大PA障碍。为了确定设计的机会,我们进行了半结构化的访谈和参与式设计会议与14个非正式照顾者的家庭成员与AD。我们的研究结果描述了如何成为一个AD护理人员深刻影响一个人的能力,积极的观点,以及exergames可能最好地支持这一人群的方式。我们讨论了设计的影响,以及我们的研究结果如何挑战现有的技术方法PA的推广。

英文摘要:

The number of informal caregivers for family members with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is rising dramatically in the United States. AD caregivers disproportionately experience numerous health problems and are often isolated with little support. An active lifestyle can help prevent and mitigate physical and psychological health concerns amongst AD caregivers. Research has demonstrated how pervasive exergames can encourage physical activity (PA) in the general population, yet little work has explored how these tools can address the significant PA barriers that AD caregivers face. To identify opportunities for design, we conducted semi-structured interviews and participatory design sessions with 14 informal caregivers of family members with AD. Our findings characterize how becoming an AD caregiver profoundly impacts one's ability to be active, perspectives on being active, and the ways that exergames might best support this population. We discuss implications for design and how our findings challenge existing technological approaches to PA promotion.
