My Viva Plan (MVP) (https://www.myvivainc.com/) is a web-based application developed by a dietitian that aims to support healthy living by providing resources and self-monitoring tools to help promote a healthy diet, healthy mind, and physical fitness. First-year university students have the potential to benefit because poor dietary choices, limited physical activity, and high stress are prevalent in this population. In addition, they are also active technology users.
This study aims to understand experiences and perception of MVP by first-year university students using this tool as part of a 12-week randomized controlled trial.
One-on-one semistructured interviews were conducted following a 12-week intervention involving use of MVP.
PARTICIPANTS/SETTING: First-year university students from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada (n = 32).
Participants were instructed to use MVP as much as possible for 12 weeks in either the fall/2018 or winter/2019 semesters.
Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed abductively using content analysis.
Participants reported varied use of MVP across the 12-week period. Data were categorized using the HealthChange Methodology (Behaviors, Emotions, 37 Situations, Thinking) framework. Participants provided various examples of emotions (eg, motivation, stress), situations (eg, time, living arrangements, finances), and thinking (eg, self-awareness, level of satisfaction with MVP, and how MVP was or could be better tailored for students) that acted as either facilitators or barriers to MVP use and explained their behaviors associated with this tool.
Overall, participant behaviors regarding MVP varied and were influenced by several factors, including their emotions, situations, and thinking. The Behaviors, Emotions, Situations, Thinking framework may be helpful for dietitians to identify barriers and facilitators affecting their client's use of ehealth tools for lifestyle behavior change. This information can be used to optimize client support when using these tools.
My Viva Plan (MVP)（https://www.myvivainc.com/）是一位营养师开发的基于网络的应用程序，旨在通过提供资源和自我监测工具来支持健康生活，以促进健康饮食、健康心态和身体健康。一年级大学生有可能从中受益，因为在这个人群中普遍存在不良的饮食选择、有限的身体活动和高压力。此外，他们也是积极的技术使用者。
本研究旨在了解 MVP 对一年级大学生的体验和感知，他们作为为期 12 周的随机对照试验的一部分使用该工具。
在为期 12 周的干预期间，参与者使用 MVP，随后进行一对一的半结构化访谈。
参与者/设置：来自加拿大埃德蒙顿阿尔伯塔大学的一年级大学生（n=32）。
参与者被指示在秋季/2018 或冬季/2019 学期尽可能使用 MVP 12 周。
访谈进行了录音，并逐字转录，然后使用内容分析法进行无偏差分析。
参与者在 12 周期间报告了 MVP 的不同使用情况。数据使用 HealthChange 方法论（行为、情绪、37 种情况、思维）框架进行分类。参与者提供了各种情绪（例如，动机、压力）、情况（例如，时间、生活安排、财务）和思维（例如，自我意识、对 MVP 的满意度水平，以及 MVP 如何或可以更好地针对学生进行调整）的例子，这些例子既是 MVP 使用的促进因素，也是障碍，并解释了他们与该工具相关的行为。
总体而言，参与者对 MVP 的行为各不相同，受到多种因素的影响，包括他们的情绪、情况和思维。行为、情绪、情况、思维框架可能有助于营养师确定影响客户使用电子健康工具进行生活方式行为改变的障碍和促进因素。这些信息可用于优化客户在使用这些工具时的支持。
