Table 3 Participant experience
From: Didge you sleep: a feasibility study of didgeridoo training for obstructive sleep apnea
Participant | Impression | What did you like least about sessions? | Experience practicing between sessions? | Future plans? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
#1 | “Adventurous” | “No fun in it. Would like it to be more creative to continue using it. Teach music aspect of it to be interesting” | “Boring, need a goal” | “Plan to play it, continue to use it” |
#2 | “Very good” | “Long drive to get here” | “No trouble, no problems. Practiced in livingroom, and granddaughter didn't like it” | “I see playing it once in a while” |
#3 | “Tempered by guilt for not playing the didgeridoo enough” | “The sound quality [of video session]” | “Inspiring. I felt I was doing something for my health. I would practice when I thought of the consequence of not treating sleep apnea” | “At home, alone. I'm just going to have it near me. I enjoy playing it. My only concern is that it will wake people up” |
#4 | “I really enjoyed the sessions. I enjoyed them a great deal.” | “None” | “I enjoyed it but I have to say that a lot of the time I had to practice in the car or outside due to interference from my wife” | “I have put it aside. You can't play a tune with it. I use it once in a while” |
#5 | “Fun, adventure, a good thing. The concept is great” | “Sound quality and accent of speaker [on video]” | “Relaxing and therapeutic. Even my wife got used to it and wouldn’t mind if she heard it while watching tv” | “I will continue to play. I really enjoy it. I actually tried to make a shorter, travel size didgeridoo” |
