Overweight and obesity are at epidemic proportions. This study examines the attitudes and actions of Oklahoma clinicians in obesity treatment, and the characteristics and perceptions of a subset of their patients who lost weight and were able to maintain weight loss.
Our study was a small mixed method study involving both surveys and interviews. Descriptive statistics were calculated, content analysis of interviews performed, and a model outline for obesity counseling was developed.
Only 38% of the 66 clinicians surveyed try to motivate their patients to lose weight. Patients interviewed recommended that clinicians treat obesity as a medical problem. We incorporated themes from the patient interviews into the S-MASS model for obesity screening and counseling.This was positively reviewed by clinicians and patients.
The S-MASS model can function as a guide to help the clinician/patient team develop successful strategies for weight loss and maintenance of weight loss.
超重和肥胖呈流行态势。本研究调查了俄克拉荷马州临床医生在肥胖治疗方面的态度和行为,以及他们一部分成功减重并维持体重的患者的特征和看法。
我们的研究是一项小型混合方法研究,包括调查和访谈。计算了描述性统计数据,对访谈进行了内容分析,并制定了肥胖咨询的模型大纲。
在接受调查的66名临床医生中,只有38%的人试图激励患者减肥。接受访谈的患者建议临床医生将肥胖视为一个医学问题。我们将患者访谈的主题纳入了用于肥胖筛查和咨询的S-MASS模型。该模型得到了临床医生和患者的积极评价。
S-MASS模型可作为一种指导,帮助临床医生/患者团队制定成功的减肥和维持体重策略。
