Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to investigate the experiences of individuals who had received physical activity on prescription. The questions that were relevant for the study were what the method had contributed with, if physical activity on prescription had affected the motivation towards a physically active lifestyle and if motivation was sufficient to lead to permanent active action. The method used to collect data was through interviews. Two men and two women who had received a prescription of physical activity participated in the study. Data was analyzed using a manifest content analysis and four categories emerged. The results indicated that the prescription was a tool for becoming physically active and also receiving support from others proved to be important for all informants. The health effects that physical activity contributed with for the informants was increased self-esteem and well-being, improved quality of life and a stronger body. The results also showed that there were both positive and negative attitudes regarding the method. The conclusion of the study was that there existed both barriers and possibilities for the continuation of physical activity. Some informants also indicated that the motivation for a permanent physically active lifestyle was missing.

 

Abstract [sv]

Det övergripande syftet var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter personer som fått fysisk aktivitet på receptet hade av metoden. Det centrala i studien var deras erfarenheter av metoden, vad de ansåg att metoden hade bidragit med, om FaR påverkade motivationen till en fysiskt aktiv livsstilsförändring och om motivationen var tillräcklig för att leda till en varaktig, aktiv handling. Metoden som användes för att samla in datamaterialet var genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien inkluderade fyra deltagare, två män och två kvinnor, där inklusionskriterierna var att de skulle ha fått motion ordinerat. Det insamlade datamaterialet analyserades med hjälp av en manifest innehållsanalys och därefter utformades fyra kategorier. Resultatet visade att metoden var ett hjälpmedel till att bli fysiskt aktiv och att det var ett motivationshöjande sätt för att utöva den fysiska aktiviteten som förskrevs. Även att få det stöd som behövdes till att utföra sin ordine-rade aktivitet visade sig vara av betydelse för samtliga informanter. De hälsoeffekter som fysisk aktivitet bidrog med för informanterna var ökat självförtroende och välbefin-nande, förbättrad livskvalité och starkare kropp. Resultatet visade dock att det fanns både positiva och negativa åsikter om metoden samt att det fanns vissa brister gällande arbetsmetoden. Slutsatsen var att det fanns både hinder och möjligheter vid ordination av fysisk aktivitet och några av informanterna menade att motivationen till en varaktig fysiskt aktiv livsstil saknades.
