The investigators used qualitative methods to examine perspectives of community mental health professionals on obesity management in adults with serious mental illness (SMI). Data from 5 focus groups were subjected to constant comparison analysis and grounded theory. Results showed that influences at individual, social, community, and societal levels impact development and maintenance of obesity. Mental health providers desired a collaborative relationship with health promotion program staff. They also believed that frequent, group-based health promotion should include participation incentives for adults with SMI and should occur over durations of at least 6-months to achieve improved health outcomes for this population.
研究人员采用定性方法,以考察社区心理健康专业人员对患有严重精神疾病(SMI)的成年人肥胖管理的看法。来自5个焦点小组的数据接受了持续比较分析和扎根理论分析。结果表明,个体、社会、社区和社会层面的影响会对肥胖的发展和维持产生作用。心理健康服务提供者希望与健康促进项目工作人员建立合作关系。他们还认为,针对患有严重精神疾病的成年人开展的频繁的、基于群体的健康促进活动应包括参与激励措施,并且活动持续时间应至少为6个月,以便该人群能取得更好的健康成果。
