Abstract：
This study aimed to explore the experiences and perspectives of people with osteoarthritis attending the \"Osteoarthritis School\" (OA School) in Nuuk, Greenland to generate insights and lessons that can inform the development of self-management education and exercise interventions for people with other lifestyle conditions in a Greenland context. We conducted a qualitative interpretive description (ID) study based on ten semi-structured interviews with people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded. Using ID, we identified three themes: 1) perceptions and experiences of how the OA School intervention was organised (time and place); 2) perspectives and experiences of the education and exercise components (social factors, motivation, and education); and 3) significant change stories (physical and mental improvements and increased knowledge of OA). Social and organisational factors, such as working out with peers and the time and place of the intervention, influenced the participants\' acceptance of the OA School intervention. Knowledge from this study will help us gain insight into what to address when developing future self-management education and exercise interventions in the Greenlandic healthcare system.
摘要：
本研究旨在探讨在努克的“骨关节炎学校”（OA学校）上的骨关节炎患者的经验和观点，格陵兰产生的见解和教训，可以为在格陵兰背景下具有其他生活方式条件的人的自我管理教育和锻炼干预的发展提供信息。我们基于对髋部或膝部骨关节炎患者的十次半结构化访谈进行了定性解释描述（ID）研究。采访是录音的，转录，和编码。使用ID，我们确定了三个主题：1）对OA学校干预是如何组织的看法和经验（时间和地点）；2）教育和锻炼组成部分的观点和经验（社会因素，动机，和教育）；和3）重大变化故事（身体和精神改善以及对OA的知识增加）。社会和组织因素，例如与同龄人一起锻炼以及干预的时间和地点，影响了参与者对OA学校干预的接受。这项研究的知识将帮助我们深入了解在格陵兰医疗保健系统中开发未来的自我管理教育和锻炼干预措施时要解决的问题。
