从事蓝领职业（技术和非技术行业）的男性肥胖和合并症的发生率很高。这个群体在体重管理的行为干预中代表性不足，这可能源于现有计划的功能与这些男性的偏好之间的不匹配。这项定性研究探讨了这些男性的观点，他们的减肥经历，他们对减肥计划的偏好，以及与这些计划相关的信息。我们对20名男性（年龄：43 ± 13岁，M ± SD）进行了远程访谈，这些男性目前从事蓝领职业（50%建筑，25%运输和25%制造业），他们的体重指数（BMI）在超重/肥胖类别（BMI：33 ± 6 kg/m2）。前两位作者制定并讨论了演绎代码和摘要主题。在主题发展之后，审查了一系列记录，以确认主题的准确性。大多数参与者（n = 16，80%）报告了既往减肥尝试。报告的最常见的减肥方法是增加锻炼和遵循自己的方法来改变饮食（例如，“少吃垃圾食品”。对于节目和信息偏好，出现了两个主要主题：参与者想要准确和可信的信息，并希望节目适合他们的生活方式。结果表明，针对蓝领职业男性的减肥计划应强调与该计划相关的信息的准确性，以及将其纳入参与者生活方式的便利性。迫切需要将这些优惠纳入有效的方案。
Men who work in blue-collar occupations (skilled and unskilled trades) experience high rates of obesity and comorbid conditions. This group is underrepresented in behavioral interventions for weight management, which may stem from a mismatch between the features of available programs and these men’s preferences. This qualitative study explored the views of these men, their experiences with weight loss, their preferences for weight loss programs, and messaging related to these programs. We conducted remote interviews with 20 men (age: 43 ± 13 years, M ± SD) currently working in blue-collar occupations (50% construction, 25% transportation, and 25% manufacturing) who had body mass indices (BMIs) in the overweight/obese categories (BMI: 33 ± 6 kg/m2). Deductive codes and summary themes were developed and discussed by the first two authors. A selection of transcripts was reviewed following theme development to confirm accuracy of the themes. Most participants (n = 16, 80%) reported a prior weight loss attempt. The most common approaches to weight loss reported were increased exercise and following their own approach to changing diet (e.g., “eating less junk food”). For program and message preferences, two major themes emerged: participants wanted accurate and trustworthy information and wanted programs that fit their lifestyle. Results suggest that weight loss programs targeting men working in blue-collar occupations should emphasize the accuracy of information related to the program and the ease of incorporating it into participants’ lifestyles. There is an urgent need to incorporate these preferences into effective programs.
