College students encounter challenges in managing their weight. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic exacerbated the problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a motivational interviewing (MI) intervention compared to online education (control) on body composition and self-determination theory constructs among college students with overweight.
This was a randomized clinical trial of 40 college students comparing an MI versus a control group. The MI group received monthly interviews: three face-to-face interviews before the pandemic, and three video chat interviews after the outbreak of COVID-19 spanning a total of six months. The control group received six, monthly education modules. Body composition was measured by the iDexa and self-determination theory (SDT) variables were assessed with surveys.
Mixed ANOVAs from pre-post revealed significant changes in fat mass (p = .03, η = 0.22), lean mass (p < .05, η = 0.18), body fat percentage ( < .01, η = 0.37), autonomy (p < .01, η = 0.38), relatedness (p < .01, η = 0.41), amotivation (p = .01, η = 0.29), external regulation (p = .02, η = 0.23), identified regulation (p = .02, η = 0.25), integrated regulation (p < .00, η = 0.49), and intrinsic regulation (p = .01, η = 0.27).
In this exploratory analysis, MI demonstrated a positive trend in body composition maintenance when compared to online education among overweight college students during a national pandemic. Future studies utilizing MI would enhance the literature by further investigating the relationship between MI and SDT and measuring body composition.Clinicaltrials.gov. identifier: NCT04130386.
大学生在控制体重方面面临挑战。2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行加剧了这一问题。本研究的目的是确定与在线教育(对照组)相比,动机性访谈(MI)干预对超重大学生身体成分和自我决定理论结构的影响。
这是一项针对40名大学生的随机临床试验,比较MI组和对照组。MI组每月接受访谈:在大流行前进行三次面对面访谈,在COVID-19爆发后进行三次视频聊天访谈,共持续六个月。对照组接受六个每月一次的教育模块。通过iDexa测量身体成分,并用调查问卷评估自我决定理论(SDT)变量。
前后混合方差分析显示,脂肪量(p = 0.03,η = 0.22)、瘦体重(p < 0.05,η = 0.18)、体脂百分比(< 0.01,η = 0.37)、自主性(p < 0.01,η = 0.38)、关联性(p < 0.01,η = 0.41)、无动机(p = 0.01,η = 0.29)、外部调节(p = 0.02,η = 0.23)、认同调节(p = 0.02,η = 0.25)、整合调节(p < 0.00,η = 0.49)和内在调节(p = 0.01,η = 0.27)有显著变化。
在这项探索性分析中,与全国大流行期间超重大学生的在线教育相比,MI在维持身体成分方面呈现出积极趋势。未来利用MI的研究将通过进一步研究MI与SDT之间的关系以及测量身体成分来丰富文献。Clinicaltrials.gov标识符:NCT04130386。
