Telerehabilitation based on digital medical care can efficiently improve the health status of patients after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. However, the current participation rate in telerehabilitation is low.

To analyse the reasons for refusal of exercise rehabilitation in patients after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in the context digital medical care based on the theory of leisure constraints.

Patients after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in the inpatient department or outpatient clinic of Department of Cardiology, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July to September 2022 were selected as the study subjects by using the purposive sampling method. The phenomenological approach was adopted to collect data from patients who refused exercise telerehabilitation after radiofrequency ablation through semi-structured interviews, and Colaizzi analysis was used to summarize the reasons.

A total of 14 patients were finally included in this study. Three themes including self-limiting factors, interpersonal limiting factors, and structural limiting factors, and twelve sub-themes were extracted, namely, low level of digital literacy, negative illness perception, psychological distress caused by disease, digital medical trust crisis, deep-rooted personal exercise habits, alienation sense from rehabilitation team, insufficient social network establishment, economic burden related to equipment acquisition, harsh climate, low rehabilitation service capacity in primary care, constraints of available time by role pressure, and poor applicability of wearable devices.

The reasons for refusal to exercise telerehabilitation include lack of literacy and trust in digital medical care, high level of illness perception and psychological distress, poor exercise habits, rehabilitation team and peer alienation, economic burden, harsh climate, lack of capacity and personal time for rehabilitation service capacity in primary care, and inadequate applicability of existing wearable devices.

基于数字医疗的远程运动康复可高效改善心房颤动射频消融术后患者的健康状况，然而，当前远程运动康复的参与率较低。

基于休闲限制理论，剖析数字医疗背景下心房颤动射频消融术后患者拒绝运动康复的原因。

采用目的抽样法，选取2022年7—9月在南京医科大学第一附属医院心内科住院或门诊行心房颤动射频消融术后的患者作为研究对象。采取现象学方法，通过半结构式访谈收集拒绝远程运动康复的心房颤动射频消融术后患者资料，采用Colaizzi分析归纳原因。

本研究最终纳入14例患者。提炼出自身限制因素、人际限制因素和结构限制因素3个主题及下属12个亚主题，即数字素养水平低下、负面疾病感知、疾病所致心理痛苦、数字医疗信任危机、个人运动习惯根深蒂固、康复团队疏离感、社交网络未充分建立、购置设备相关经济负担、恶劣气候、基层康复服务能力不足、角色压力制约可支配时间、可穿戴设备适用性欠佳。

患者缺乏数字医疗的素养及信任感、高水平疾病感知及心理痛苦、不佳运动习惯、康复团队及同伴间疏远、经济负担、恶劣气候、基层康复服务能力及个人时间匮乏，现有可穿戴设备适用性不足是其拒绝远程运动康复的原因。
