“…Women were worried about cardiac strain, pain, or appearing out of shape during exercise (Cooper et al . , Austin ). Little and Lewis () quoted one man who felt like a ‘jessy’ during certain dance‐like exercises in the classes, while others have found that women wanted more enjoyable exercise options other than treadmills and walking (Moore , Ebbesen ).…”
There is a persistent lack of theoretically informed gender analysis in qualitative literature in this field. Theory-driven gender analysis will improve the conceptual clarity of the evidence base for gender-sensitive cardiac rehabilitation programme development.

“…58,71 Generally, participation was sustained when women had positive experiences of exercise and its benefits. 58,72,73 This led them to enjoy participation, 72 attribute health improvements to rehabilitation, 58 and see a possible path of recovery for themselves. 72 Similarly, with continued participation in programmes, men were found to see the benefits of programmes and disbelief about what had happened to them lessened.…”

“…77 Numerous studies reported that the social and group-based nature of programmes facilitated ongoing participation. 22,30,43,44,46,49,61,71,72,75,78–83 These social dimensions were valued because they enhanced social camaraderie with other participants, 30,36,46,77 increased confidence, 57 or supported mutual problem-solving. 42…”

“…Contact with knowledgeable and encouraging programme staff and nurses was reported to sustain access over time. 42,71,72,80 Behaviours such as encouragement and ongoing assessment 71 were viewed as supportive and reassuring, 80 as was the perception of service providers as knowledgeable 72 and capable of answering specific questions that women had about their heart disease. 72 Patients emphasized the importance of safe exercise for ongoing attendance.…”
Factors reducing participation in programmes are varied but amenable to intervention. Participation should be viewed as a 'consumer behaviour' and interventions should mobilize family support, promote 'patient friendly' scheduling, and actively harness the social, identity-related, and experiential aspects of participation.
Proposing and consenting to sex are things that ordinary people manage to do all the time, yet legal regulation of sex seems to be an intractable problem. No one is satisfied with rape law, but no one knows quite what to do about it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
