WOMEN'S WEIGHT MANAGEMENT CAI FOR OUTPATIENT SETTINGS

这个项目将开发和评估一个计算机辅助教学 (CAI)门诊候诊室妇女体重管理方案 设置. 软件将侧重于与以下方面有关的基本营养概念： 妇女健康，包括控制体重。 特征将识别 有问题的食物，报告零食和膳食平衡，表明能量和 活动平衡，以及随时间变化的体重图表。 超重的女性会 在候诊室输入他们自己的数据， 原则上，这将是审查与工作人员在检查室。 这 该过程将涉及并授权患者帮助他们自己的健康 在乎 软件系统分析（SSA）计划分为四个步骤， 形成性评估软件与40名妇女在家庭的做法 Corporation. 将进行焦点小组访谈， 20名患者和5名专业人员使用了测试版的 软件来识别任何最终问题。 可靠性和有效性将是 通过比较患者生成的指纹与相同数据确定 通过访谈辅助营养分析获得。 商业价值 该项目的创新设计是基于对系统的创新设计 以及女性在这种环境中的专属发展。

This project will develop and evaluate a computer assisted instruction (CAI) women's weight management program for use in outpatient, waiting room settings. The solfware will focus on basic nutritional concepts related to women's health including weight control. Features will identify problematic foods, report snack and meal balance, indicate energy and activity balance, and chart body weight over time. Overweight women will enter their own data in waiting rooms, and receive understandable printouts, which will be reviewed with staff in the examining room. This process will involve and empower the patient to assist in their own health care. A four step software systems analysis (SSA) plan will be used to formatively evaluate the software with 40 women in a family practice corporation. Focus group interviews will be conducted with an additional 20 patients and 5 professional staff who used a beta version of the software to identify any final problems. Reliability and validity will be determined by comparing patient generated printouts with the same data obtained by an interview-assisted nutrient analysis. The commercial value of this project is based on the innovative design of the printout system and the exclusive development for women in this environment.
