“Det vore bra om jag fick i mig några grönsaker” En kvalitativ studie av barns upplevelser av digifysisk obesitasbehandling
(2024) PSPR14 20232Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Studien ämnar undersöka barns upplevelser av digifysisk obesitasbehandling. Data insamlades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och åtta barn (14 - 17 år) med obesitas intervjuades. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades därefter med en kritisk-realistisk tematisk analys. Fem teman och 14 underteman identifierades. Det första temat “Tillgänglighet” belyser att digifysisk vård medfört en ökad tillgång till vård och således underlättat i vardagen för deltagarna. Ökad tillgänglighet är en av fördelarna med användandet av mobilappen som deltagarna oftast nämnt. Det andra temat “Medvetenhet och motivation” handlar om att mobilappen ökat användarnas medvetenhet kring sömn, vikt, fysisk aktivitet samt kost. Det tredje temat “Användandet... (More)

Ökad tillgänglighet är en av fördelarna med användandet av mobilappen som deltagarna oftast nämnt. Det andra temat “Medvetenhet och motivation” handlar om att mobilappen ökat användarnas medvetenhet kring sömn, vikt, fysisk aktivitet samt kost. Det tredje temat “Användandet avtar” beskriver att användandet hos deltagarna avtar med tiden. Något som tydligt framgår i samtliga berättelser är att barns aktiva användning av mobilappen minskar med tiden och att användandet inte är lika frekvent efter ett tag. Det fjärde temat “Mobilappen och det psykiska måendet” belyser att användandet av mobilappen kan medföra att man mår dåligt psykiskt då uppsatta mål inte nås, samtidigt som användandet kan minska om man redan mår psykiskt dåligt. Det femte och sista temat “Utvecklingspotential” handlar om för- och nackdelar med mobilappens funktioner idag. I dessa teman lyfts deltagarnas upplevelser, såsom att digifysisk vård underlättar i vardagen och att det skapar ökad prestation. Sammantaget tyder resultaten på att användandet av mobilappen lett till en upplevelse av ökad motivation och medvetenhet om den egna hälsan. Studien bidrar med kunskap om patienters upplevelser vilket kan vara till hjälp för vårdpersonal i utvecklandet av obesitasbehandling. I diskussionen beskrivs studiens begränsningar samt förslag för framtida forskning. (Less)
- Abstract
- The study aims to investigate children's experiences of digi-physical obesity treatment. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and eight
children (14 - 17 years old) with obesity were interviewed. The interviews were
transcribed and subsequently analyzed using a critical realist thematic analysis.
Five themes and 14 subthemes were identified. The first theme, "Accessibility",
highlights that digi-physical healthcare has led to increased access to healthcare, thereby facilitating the participants' daily lives. Increased accessibility is one of the advantages most frequently mentioned by the participants. The second theme, "Awareness and motivation", describes how the app has increased users' awareness of sleep, weight,...

Increased accessibility is one of the advantages most frequently mentioned by the participants. The second theme, "Awareness and motivation", describes how the app has increased users' awareness of sleep, weight, physical activity, and diet. The third theme, "Decreasing usage", describes that participants' usage of the app decreases over time. The fourth theme, "The app and mental health", highlights that using the app may lead to feeling mentally unwell when set goals are not achieved.
Furthermore, app usage may decrease if one is already experiencing poor mental
well-being. The fifth and final theme, "Development potential", describes the
pros and cons of the app's features today. These themes highlight the
participants' experiences, such as how digi-physical healthcare facilitates daily
life and creates increased performance. Overall, the results suggest that the use
of the app has led to experiencing increased motivation and awareness of one's
own health. The study contributes knowledge about patients' experiences, which
can be helpful for healthcare professionals in the development of obesity
treatment. The discussion describes the study's limitations and suggests
directions for future research. (Less)
