Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the experiences of women with osteoarthritis in the community-based aquatic exercise program. Methods: A total of 13 women who lived urban-rural complex areas participated in 8 weeks of aquatic exercise. Data were collected from two focused group interviews of those who signed informed consent. Results: Four categories emerged from the contents analysis: 1) assisting a remedial program (participant-centered education, alleviation of physical symptoms, and relieving stress), 2) Pleasure of being together (group exercise, feeling of pleasure and joy, and strong and confident supporter), 3) burden of participation (economic burden, low accessibility and unaccustomed swimming pool), 4) organizing and activating a self-help group(acquired confidence over exercise, hoping for continue exercise, and Needs of self-help meeting). Conclusion: Aquatic exercise was good for women living urban-rural area as it gave not only reliving arthritic symptoms but also improving social relationships. It is optimal to assist in making of a self-supporting group and continuing activities through it.
