This purpose of this study was to evaluate the Nutrition and Exercise for Wellness and Recovery (NEW-R) weight loss intervention.
Using a pretest/posttest design, 18 participants recruited from a community-based mental health program were assessed at baseline, immediately following the intervention (8 weeks), and at 6-month follow-up. The intervention was delivered by an occupational therapist and occupational therapy graduate students and consisted of 8 weekly sessions lasting 2 hr. Outcomes included changes in weight, and levels of knowledge about nutrition and exercise.
Participants lost an average of 3 pounds at immediate postintervention, and lost an average of 10 pounds at the 6-month follow-up. Participants also demonstrated significant increases in their knowledge about nutrition and physical activity.
The results of this study provide preliminary support for the impact of the NEW-R intervention on weight loss and knowledge about diet and exercise.
本研究旨在评估“健康与康复的营养与运动”（NEW-R）减肥干预措施。
采用前测/后测设计，对从社区心理健康项目招募的18名参与者在基线、干预后即刻（8周）和6个月随访时进行评估。干预由一名职业治疗师和职业治疗研究生进行，包括8次每周2小时的课程。结果包括体重变化以及营养和运动知识水平。
参与者在干预后即刻平均减重3磅，在6个月随访时平均减重10磅。参与者在营养和体育活动知识方面也有显著增加。
本研究结果为NEW-R干预对减肥以及饮食和运动知识的影响提供了初步支持。
