Theme 5: There are adequate resources to support engagement with the program
Program materials and structures were identified as facilitators to participation. Participants expressed that provision of written and audiovisual guides helped them to participate (e.g., ‘It’s easy to follow, no problem, especially with the video and that and the book. And it’s laid out very good, so you can follow it, no problem.’, and ‘Yes, because I was able to download the media file, so I was able to watch it on my TV, or I have it on my phone so I can have it with me so I can do some exercise even if [my wife] wasn’t around. Access to the file is very helpful.’). It was also identified that follow up provided via telephone during the program supported participants in successfully exercising (e.g., ‘Yeah, there was a girl named Chelsey who called me every week to check on my progress. Always enjoyed talking to her and it showed me that you guys have me doing this, but you’re also really interested in how I’m doing and that I thought was a good thing. That you kept up your end as I was doing mine. I thought that was very good.’, and ‘I think if you had to turned me lose with the book and a TheraBand and a walker and not checked up on me every week, I’m not saying I would have bowed out, but I think there would be a tendency for others to lose interest and say look, I’m not doing this.’).
