The Acceptability of Technology-Based Physical Activity Interventions in Postbariatric Surgery Women: Insights From Qualitative Analysis Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bariatric surgery offers an opportunity for physical activity (PA) promotion due to patients' increased ability to engage in PA. Technology-based PA interventions are promising tools for promoting PA to support patients in this key period. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model is a recognized theoretical model for examining technology acceptability. Although a previous study reported that 92% of women with obesity have high acceptability of at least one technology-based PA intervention, little is known about the factors that lead to different levels of acceptability between technologies and therefore the reasons for choosing a preferred intervention.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to (1) characterize the acceptability of
