20.500.12556/DKUM-86724 Health tourism and physical literacy a qualitative exploration of elderly visitors' experiences after rehabilitation at Slovenian health resorts Zdravstveni turizem in gibalna pismenost The promotion of physical literacy is an opportunity to multiply significant health benefits in an ageing society. In Slovenia, health resorts are one of the most common prime areas for health enhancement, offering numerous services for individuals to improve their health and forming an important pillar of the social tourism and healthcare sector. The aim of this research is to explore the role of medical rehabilitation at Slovene health resorts in the processes of increasing the physical literacy of their patients. Twenty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with previous guests of Slovene health resorts who have undertaken medical rehabilitation. The analysis indicates that the most common approach is providing lectures about physical activity followed by group or individual physical regimes organised for patients with similar health concerns. These actions target two dimensions of physical literacy: the competence and the knowledge/understanding dimension. However, the eventual omission of prescribed physical activity following the rehabilitation is an issue concerning the motivation dimension of physical literacy, which should thus be addressed more in the future. The findings contribute to understanding the role of medical rehabilitation at Slovene health resorts by applying the physical literacy model for older adults. The study provides valuable insights regarding the long-term benefits of rehabilitation at the health resorts on individuals’ level of physical literacy. The results are helpful for both the tourism and medical sectors. health resorts physical literacy health tourism rehabilitation health literacy elderly zdravilišča fizično opismenjevanje zdravstveni turizem rehabilitacija zdravstvena pismenost starejši true false true Založba Univerze na Primorskem Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-01-15 14:51:41 2024-01-15 14:58:59 2024-01-16 03:15:08 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 81-94 Št. 1 Letn. 15 apr. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-05-31 338.48-6:615.8 109389827 1855-3303 Health_tourism_and_physical_literacy_Kokot_2022.pdf Health_tourism_and_physical_literacy_Kokot_2022.pdf 1 A3312B94BF292C3096C2C58AB264F27C 4f70d4ff6e551c45a27ce4f72593ebe5e9a743ea7de3d381f9f5c3fe4626f6c1 ef01e300-b3ad-11ee-81ed-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175262 https://academica.turistica.si/index.php/AT-TIJ/article/view/347 0 f9fbc469-b3ad-11ee-81ed-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175263 Fakulteta za turizem 0 0 0
