To improve learning in pulmonary rehabilitation, understanding of factors that induce or enhance intrinsic motivation in both patients and their significant others is needed. Therefore, this study aims to gain in-depth understanding of what motivates patients with COPD or asthma referred for pulmonary rehabilitation and their significant others to learn and what their preferences are for education. Methods For this qualitative study, a sample was taken from a previous quantitative study. Data was collected through one-time face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed and independently analysed by two researchers using thematic analyses. Results Twelve patients and four significant others (56% female; age: 63 +/- 11 years) were interviewed. Participants expressed a variety of information needs and learning preferences. Subthemes that emerged within the theme of motivation for learning were: 1) curiosity, such as knowledge gaps and hope for new information; and 2) values and goals, such as own health, caring for loved ones and spending time with family. Discussion To enhance intrinsic motivation for learning within pulmonary rehabilitation, autonomy of individuals should be supported by offering several learning topics and education adapted to preferences, while curiosity should be fostered by targeting information needs. Moreover, health education programmes should match with the personal values and goals of individuals, such as own health, caring for loved ones and spending time with family. | Notes: | Muijsenberg, AJL (corresponding author), Ciro, Dept Res & Dev, Horn, Netherlands.; Muijsenberg, AJL (corresponding author), Maastricht Univ, NUTRIM Sch Nutr & Translat Res Metab, Fac Hlth Med & Life Sci, Maastricht, Netherlands.; Muijsenberg, AJL (corresponding author), Maastricht Univ, Dept Family Med, Fac Hlth Med & Life Sci, Care & Publ Hlth Res Inst, Maastricht, Netherlands. anoukmuijsenberg@ciro-horn.nl |
