ABSTRACT
Technology-based physical activity interventions have been shown to be efficacious in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), though their potential impact has not been fully realized due to ineffective implementation. We used a convergent, parallel mixed-methods design to identify patient- and provider-facing barriers and facilitators to implementing a rigorously studied web-based physical activity intervention for COPD. Quantitative surveys (based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology; range 1 (poor usability)-5 (high usability)) and semi-structured interviews (guided by the practical robust implementation and sustainability model) assessed the perspectives of 15 patients and 15 health care providers. The patients and providers rated the usability of the intervention as high (median = 5.0, IQR = 1.0). For both patients and providers, the main facilitators included the potential high impact of the intervention on patient health, the usefulness of the intervention for unmet clinical needs, and the perceived ease of use of the intervention. The main barriers identified were digital literacy and its fit with current clinical workflows. Implementation efforts may benefit from supporting patients' use of the website and developing strategies to integrate referrals to the intervention and the monitoring of patients into current clinical infrastructures.
