Abstract

Objective

Assess the impact of a weight-inclusive podcast (WIP) intervention on body appreciation, intuitive eating (IE), anti-fat attitudes, and weight and health attitudes in university students enrolled in an upper-division nutrition course.

Methods

Quasi-experimental design: Intervention participants listened to 8 weekly WIP episodes (n = 16); the comparison group listened to 8 weekly general nutrition podcasts (n = 29). Intuitive eating, body appreciation, anti-fat attitudes, and general weight and health attitudes were measured preintervention and postintervention.

Results

Two-way, repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant interaction effects of time × group, with participants in the WIP group experiencing significantly greater improvements in body appreciation (P = 0.03) and IE (P = 0.02) and greater reductions in anti-fat attitude scores (P = 0.006) than the comparison group.

Conclusions and Implications

Podcasts may be a cost-effective tool to improve body appreciation and IE and reduce anti-fat attitudes in future nutrition professionals. Future research would benefit from recruiting prehealth professionals across different majors.

体重包容性播客改善了营养专业学生的直觉饮食、身体欣赏和反胖态度。

目的评估体重包容性播客（WIP）干预对身体欣赏、直觉饮食（IE）、反脂肪态度以及体重和健康态度的影响：方法：准实验设计：干预参与者每周收听 8 集 WIP（n = 16）；对比组每周收听 8 集普通营养播客（n = 29）。对干预前和干预后的直觉饮食、身体欣赏、反脂肪态度以及一般体重和健康态度进行测量：双向重复测量方差分析显示，时间×组别具有显著的交互效应，与对比组相比，WIP 组的参与者在身体鉴赏力（P = 0.03）和直觉进食（P = 0.02）方面的改善幅度明显更大，反脂肪态度得分的降低幅度也更大（P = 0.006）：播客可能是一种具有成本效益的工具，可提高未来营养专业人员的身体鉴赏能力和IE，并减少反脂肪态度。未来的研究将从招募不同专业的健康预科专业人员中获益。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), the official journal of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a global resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education; nutrition and physical activity behavior theories and intervention outcomes; complementary and alternative medicine related to nutrition behaviors; food environment; food, nutrition, and physical activity communication strategies including technology; nutrition-related economics; food safety education; and scholarship of learning related to these areas. The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
