科技輔助運動課程促進機構住民運動行為之初探

A Preliminary Exploration of Technology-Assisted Exercise Programs to Promote Residents' Exercise Behaviors

目的：本研究旨在了解機構住民參與科技輔助運動課程後的主觀經驗與感受，透過訪談方式蒐集對科技輔助運動課程設計的內容、互動方式相關意見與反饋，進一步探討科技輔助運動課程是否能促進住民的健康行為與生活參與。
方法：本研究使用主題分析法進行資料收集。以居住在長照機構且適合運動的住民為對象，選取15位住民體驗科技輔助運動課程，動作涵蓋肩頸胸、上肢與下肢等26個動作，透過高階顯示器示範並即時回饋動作表現。
結果：本研究透過半結構式訪談與課後回饋，蒐集機構住民參與科技輔助運動課程後的主觀經驗。住民普遍認為課程設計具新奇感與趣味性，操作友善並具即時回饋機制，有助於提升參與意願與安全感。多數住民表示參與課程後關節活動增加、身體較為舒展，並可以建立運動信心。課程促進住民情緒的正向轉變，減少孤單與無聊感。遊戲化與分數機制激發住民挑戰與持續參與的動機，增加課程吸引力。住民建議優化操作介面，如加入語音提示與增添音樂節奏，並希望課程內容更多元。整體而言，科技輔助運動課程獲得住民高度接受與正向評價，顯示其在促進機構長者身心健康方面具可行性與潛力。
結論：本研究結果顯示，科技輔助運動課程對機構住民具高度吸引力與實際效益，能改善關節活動與增加運動參與意願。課程結合高階顯示器、即時回饋與遊戲化設計，有效降低參與門檻並提高課程動機。住民透過運動課程獲得成就感與社交互動，及正向的情緒狀態。未來可進一步優化介面設計並發展個人化模組，拓展至不同機構與長者族群，強化其在長照健康促進中的應用價值。

Purpose：This study aims to explore the subjective experiences and perceptions of institutionalized residents after participating in a technology assisted exercise program. Through interviews, feedback and opinions were collected regarding the program’s design and interactive features, further examining whether the technology assisted exercise program can promote residents’health behaviors and participation in daily life.
Methods：This study employed thematic analysis for data collection and interpretation. This study recruited 15 residents from institutions who were physically suitable for exercise to participate in the technology assisted exercise program. The program included 26 movements targeting the shoulders, neck, chest, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Movements were demonstrated through an advanced display system, which also provided real-time feedback on performance.
Results：This study collected the subjective experiences of institutionalized residents after participating in a technology assisted exercise program through semi-structured interviews and post-session feedback. Residents generally found the program design novel and engaging, with user-friendly operations and real-time feedback mechanisms that enhanced their willingness to participate and sense of safety. Many residents reported increased joint mobility, improved physical flexibility, and gradually developedconfidence and self-efficacy in exercising. The program also contributed to positive emotional changes and greater life satisfaction, reducing feelings of loneliness and boredom. The gamification elements and scoring system further motivated residents to challenge themselves and maintain participation, increasing the program's appeal. Residents suggested optimizing the user interface, such as adding voice prompts and rhythmic music, and expressed a desire for more diverse content. Overall, the technology assisted exercise program was highly accepted and positively evaluated, indicating its feasibility and potential in promoting the physical and mental well-being of older adults in long-term care facilities.
Conclusion：The results of this study indicate that the technology assisted exercise program holds strong appeal and practical benefits for institutionalized residents. It not only improves joint mobility and exercise participation but also enhances older adults’self-efficacy and psychological well-being. By integrating advanced display systems, real-time feedback, and gamified design, the program effectively lowers the participation threshold and increases motivation. Residents gained a sense of achievement and engaged in social interaction through the program, further improving their life satisfaction and emotional state. Future developments may focus on optimizing the user interface and creating personalized modules, with the potential to expand implementation across various care facilities and elderly populations, thereby enhancing its value in long-term care health promotion.
