This study examined participants' perceptions of how their involvement in a well-established weight loss and diabetes prevention program influenced their social support persons (SSPs). Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, participants were surveyed to determine their perceived influence on SSPs. Compared to controls, intervention participants reported that SSPs' lifestyle changes were more positively influenced by their study participation, and their amount of weight loss was related to favorability of perceived changes in SSPs' eating habits. Themes of lifestyle changes, knowledge dissemination, and motivation emerged from responses. Future lifestyle change interventions could potentially capitalize on program participants' influence on their social support networks.
本研究考察了参与者对其参与成熟的减肥和糖尿病预防计划如何影响其社会支持人员(SSP)的看法。本研究采用混合方法,对参与者进行了调查,以确定他们对 SSP 的感知影响。与对照组相比,干预组参与者报告称,他们的研究参与对 SSP 的生活方式改变的影响更为积极,他们的减肥量与 SSP 饮食习惯改变的感知有利程度有关。研究结果中出现了生活方式改变、知识传播和动机等主题。未来的生活方式改变干预措施可能会利用计划参与者对其社会支持网络的影响。
