A Curriculum Embedded Weight Sensitivity Training program (CeWebs) was integrated into an undergraduate nursing course to improve attitudes and beliefs toward individuals with obesity.
A one-group repeated measures study was conducted to compare students' pretest and posttest attitudes and beliefs using the Attitudes Toward Obese Persons (ATOP) and Beliefs About Obese Persons (BAOP) at the beginning and end of the semester.
Comparison of pretraining and posttraining scores of 125 junior nursing students on ATOP (73.96 ± 15.02 and 84.59 ± 15.39, respectively) indicated a significant increase in scores (p < .01), which reflects more positive attitudes. Comparison of pretraining and posttraining BAOP scores (18.20 ± 6.84 and 22.22 ± 7.87, respectively) indicated a significant (p < .01) increase in scores, indicating beliefs that obesity is not controllable.
These findings suggest that embedding weight sensitivity training into undergraduate nursing curricula may improve attitudes and beliefs toward patients with obesity. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(8):453-456.].
课程嵌入式体重敏感训练项目(CeWebs)被整合到本科护理课程中,以改善对肥胖个体的态度和信念。
采用单组重复测量研究,在学期开始和结束时使用肥胖者态度量表(ATOP)和肥胖者信念量表(BAOP)对 125 名护理专业大三学生进行前测和后测,比较学生的态度和信念。
对 125 名护理专业大三学生的 ATOP(分别为 73.96 ± 15.02 和 84.59 ± 15.39)和 BAOP(分别为 18.20 ± 6.84 和 22.22 ± 7.87)前测和后测得分进行比较,结果表明 ATOP 得分显著增加(p <.01),这反映出更积极的态度。BAOP 得分也显著增加(p <.01),表明肥胖是不可控的信念。
这些发现表明,将体重敏感训练嵌入本科护理课程中可能会改善对肥胖患者的态度和信念。[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(8):453-456.]。
