| الوصف: | Background: With more women being diagnosed with obstructive pulmonary disease, it is important to know how women experience non-pharmacological rehabilitation including different types of physical activity and exercise.Objective: This study aimed to explore how women with obstructive pulmonary disease experienced participating in pulmonary rehabilitation including yoga or strength- and endurance training to promote physical activity. A second aim included exploring experiences of physical activity and exercise through life.Methods: Fifteen women with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were interviewed about their experiences of participating in an exercise intervention and about their experiences of physical activity and exercise in their lives. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results: An overall theme, “Wishing to succeed in attending physical activity and exercise,” emerged. Three categories were identified: 1) strategies to overcome insecurity; 2) a life situation which enables and hinders; and 3) an inner drive and focus on myself.Conclusions: The women’s wishes to be physically activity and exercise involved hindering and enabling factors. Specifically, their gender roles as women were described as a hinder. This suggests a need to include a gender perspective when promoting physical activity and exercise to women with obstructive pulmonary disease. |
