To examine interest, resources, and preferences for weight loss programs among primary care patients with obesity.
Primary care patients having a BMI ≥30 kg/m were recruited in the summer and fall of 2018. Eligible patients were invited to complete an anonymous survey assessing sociodemographic factors, interest in weight loss, resources, and preferences for weight loss programs. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.
A total of 77 patients completed the anonymous survey. Nearly 90% of patients were interested in participating in a weight loss program and reported having a smartphone. Approximately 80% had high-speed internet and a device with videoconferencing capabilities, whereas only 40% had a tablet or laptop computer. On average, patients preferred weight loss programs delivered in-person and led by a nutritionist or personal trainer. Patients' top three preferences for weight loss content included goal setting, staying motivated, and finding ways to be more active.
Although primary care patients with obesity were interested in weight loss programs, availability of resources and preferred program characteristics varied.
This study provides insight on patient interest, resources, and preferences for weight loss programs that may help guide the development of future programs.
调查肥胖的初级保健患者对减肥计划的兴趣、资源和偏好。
2018 年夏秋季，招募 BMI≥30kg/m 的初级保健患者。邀请符合条件的患者完成一项匿名调查，评估社会人口因素、对减肥的兴趣、资源以及对减肥计划的偏好。采用描述性统计方法进行分析。
共有 77 名患者完成了匿名调查。近 90%的患者有兴趣参加减肥计划，并报告拥有智能手机。约 80%的患者有高速互联网和具有视频会议功能的设备，而只有 40%的患者有平板电脑或笔记本电脑。平均而言，患者更喜欢由营养师或私人教练亲自指导的减肥计划。患者对减肥内容的前三项偏好包括设定目标、保持动力和寻找更活跃的方法。
尽管肥胖的初级保健患者对减肥计划感兴趣，但资源的可用性和患者偏好的计划特征存在差异。
本研究提供了关于减肥计划的患者兴趣、资源和偏好的见解，可能有助于指导未来计划的制定。
