This study assessed the feasibility of a telephone lifestyle coaching intervention for middle aged and older men in a service club setting and evaluated its impact on behavioural change in terms of BMI, physical activity, dietary habits, self-reported quality of life and stages of change. Forty participants from Rotary clubs in Western Australia participated in this pilot intervention. Findings showed significant improvements in lifestyle risk modification indicators. Participants were very satisfied with the interaction with their coaches and rated highly the telephone as a medium for coaching. Findings suggested that telephone coaching was a feasible means of delivering a lifestyle intervention in a 'real-world' setting for a hard to reach population group.
本研究评估了在服务俱乐部环境中对中年和老年男性进行电话生活方式指导干预的可行性，并根据 BMI、身体活动、饮食习惯、自我报告的生活质量和改变阶段评估其对行为改变的影响。来自西澳大利亚旋转俱乐部的 40 名参与者参加了这项试点干预。研究结果表明，生活方式风险修正指标有显著改善。参与者对与教练的互动非常满意，并高度评价电话作为指导的媒介。研究结果表明，电话指导是在现实环境中为难以接触到的人群提供生活方式干预的一种可行手段。
