Addictive eating prevalence is estimated at 15-20% in studied populations, and is associated with concurrent mental health conditions and eating disorders as well as overweight and obesity. However, few evidence-based interventions targeting addictive eating are available. The further development of evidence-based interventions requires assessment of intervention feasibility and efficacy. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, including intervention delivery and program acceptability, of FoodFix; a personality targeted intervention for the treatment of addictive eating behaviours in Australian adults. Participants (n = 52) were randomised to intervention (n = 26) or wait-list control groups (n = 26) and received three personalised telehealth sessions with an Accredited Practising Dietitian over seven weeks. Intervention delivery was assessed by tracking adherence to scheduled timing of intervention sessions. Program acceptability of participants was assessed via an online process evaluation survey and program acceptability of intervention providers was assessed via semi-structured phone interviews. In total, 79% of participants adhered to scheduled timing for session two and 43% for session three, defined as within one week (before/after) of the scheduled date. Further, 21% of participants completed the process evaluation survey (n = 11). The majority of participants were extremely/very satisfied with FoodFix (n = 7, 63%). Intervention providers (n = 2) expressed that they felt adequately trained to deliver the intervention, and that the overall session format, timing, and content of FoodFix was appropriate for participants. These findings highlight the importance of assessing intervention feasibility to further understand intervention efficacy.
在研究人群中,成瘾性饮食的患病率估计为15%-20%,且与并发的心理健康状况、饮食失调以及超重和肥胖有关。然而,针对成瘾性饮食的循证干预措施很少。循证干预措施的进一步发展需要评估干预的可行性和有效性。本研究旨在确定FoodFix的可行性,包括干预的实施和项目可接受性;FoodFix是一种针对澳大利亚成年人成瘾性饮食行为治疗的个性化干预措施。参与者(n = 52)被随机分为干预组(n = 26)或等待名单对照组(n = 26),并在七周内与一名注册执业营养师进行三次个性化远程健康咨询。通过跟踪干预咨询的预定时间遵守情况来评估干预的实施。通过在线过程评估调查评估参与者对项目的可接受性,通过半结构化电话访谈评估干预提供者对项目的可接受性。总体而言,79%的参与者遵守了第二次咨询的预定时间,43%的参与者遵守了第三次咨询的预定时间,定义为在预定日期的一周内(之前/之后)。此外,21%的参与者完成了过程评估调查(n = 11)。大多数参与者对FoodFix极其/非常满意(n = 7,63%)。干预提供者(n = 2)表示,他们觉得自己接受了足够的培训来实施干预,并且FoodFix的整体咨询形式、时间和内容适合参与者。这些发现凸显了评估干预可行性对于进一步了解干预效果的重要性。
