To examine whether a Web-based health and leadership development program--designed specifically for managers--was associated with changes in self-reported and biometric indicators of cardiovascular disease within the context of a randomized control trial.
A total of 145 managers from 8 organizations participated in a 6-month Internet-based program or a control condition. They completed pre- and posttest assessments that included both self-reported attitudes (on diet, exercise, and mental health) and biometric measures (eg, body weight, waist circumference).
The intervention was associated with improvements in dietary attitudes, dietary self-efficacy, and exercise, and reductions in distress symptoms. Women in the program reduced their waist circumference significantly more than controls.
The program showed promise for reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors. Similar results across diverse organizations suggest the program may be useful across industry types.
在一项随机对照试验的背景下,检验专门为经理设计的基于网络的健康和领导力发展计划是否与心血管疾病的自我报告和生物计量指标的变化有关。
共有 145 名来自 8 个组织的经理参加了为期 6 个月的基于互联网的计划或对照组。他们完成了预测试和后测试评估,包括自我报告的态度(饮食、运动和心理健康)和生物计量测量(如体重、腰围)。
干预措施与饮食态度、饮食自我效能和运动的改善有关,同时减少了困扰症状。参与该计划的女性腰围明显比对照组小。
该计划显示出降低心血管疾病风险因素的潜力。在不同组织中取得的相似结果表明,该计划可能对不同行业类型都有用。
