The Vietnam Physical Activity and Nutrition (VPAN) program aimed to improve physical activity and nutrition for adults aged 50-65 years with Metabolic Syndrome in Vietnam. The VPAN program consisted of a range of resources and strategies, including an information booklet, resistance band, face-to-face education sessions, and walking groups. This process evaluation assessed the participation, fidelity, satisfaction, and reasons for completing and not-completing the VPAN.
Data were collected by mixed-methods from a sample of 214 intervention participants. Quantitative data were collected via surveys (n=163); qualitative data via face-to-face exit interviews with intervention program completers (n=10) and non-completers (n=10), and brief post education session discussions.
Most participants (87%-96%) reported the program resources and strategies useful, assisting them to increase their physical activity level and improving their diet. The education sessions were the most preferred strategy (97%) with high attendance (>78% of participants). The main reasons for withdrawal were work commitments and being too busy.
The evaluation indicated that the program reached and engaged the majority of participants throughout the six-month intervention. The combination of printed resources and face-to-face intervention components was a suitable approach to support lifestyle behavioural change in the Vietnamese population.
越南身体活动与营养（VPAN）项目旨在改善越南50至65岁患有代谢综合征的成年人的身体活动和营养状况。VPAN项目包括一系列资源和策略，其中有一本信息手册、弹力带、面对面教育课程以及步行小组。本次过程评估对VPAN项目的参与情况、保真度、满意度以及完成和未完成项目的原因进行了评估。
采用混合方法从214名干预参与者样本中收集数据。通过调查问卷收集定量数据（n = 163）；通过与干预项目完成者（n = 10）和未完成者（n = 10）进行面对面的退出访谈以及教育课程后的简短讨论收集定性数据。
大多数参与者（87%-96%）表示该项目的资源和策略很有用，帮助他们提高了身体活动水平并改善了饮食。教育课程是最受欢迎的策略（97%），出席率很高（超过78%的参与者）。退出的主要原因是工作任务和太忙。
评估表明，在为期六个月的干预过程中，该项目覆盖并吸引了大多数参与者。印刷资源和面对面干预相结合的方式是支持越南人群生活方式行为改变的合适方法。
