这项试点研究检验了通过mHealth技术和社交媒体增强的同龄人生活方式干预对患有严重精神疾病的肥胖者的初步效果。体重指数≥30的32名参与者接受了为期24周的干预，旨在通过体验式学习和使用可穿戴活动跟踪设备、智能手机应用程序和脸书来促进同伴支持生活方式的改变，以加强身体活动、健康饮食和小组参与。主要结果是体重减轻。次要指标包括适合度和参与者对同龄人群体支持的看法。大多数参与者(72%)体重减轻，其中28%实现了临床上显著的体重减轻，17%的参与者在心血管健康方面表现出临床上的显著改善。体重减轻与感受到的同龄人群体支持有关。这项评估证明了在社区精神卫生环境中为患有严重精神疾病的肥胖个人提供潜在可扩展的同龄人生活方式干预的初步有效性。
This pilot study examined the preliminary effectiveness of a peer-group lifestyle intervention enhanced with mHealth technology and social media for obese individuals with serious mental illness. Thirty-two participants with BMI ≥30 received the 24-week intervention designed to facilitate peer support for lifestyle change through experiential learning and use of wearable activity tracking devices, smartphone applications, and Facebook to reinforce physical activity, healthy eating, and group participation between sessions. The primary outcome was weight loss. Secondary measures included fitness and participants’ perceptions of peer group support. Most participants (72%) lost weight, including 28% achieving clinically significant weight loss, and 17% of participants showed clinically significant improvements in cardiovascular fitness. Weight loss was associated with perceived peer group support. This evaluation demonstrated the preliminary effectiveness of a potentially scalable peer-group lifestyle intervention delivered in community mental health settings for obese individuals with serious mental illness.
