Abstract

Background

Numerous studies have demonstrated that a significant number of individuals experience weight regain following bariatric surgery. To sustain long-term weight loss outcomes, it is imperative to assist patients in adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyle changes. Implementing cognitive interventions aimed at enhancing self-management behaviors is crucial in supporting patients' efforts to sustain weight loss post-surgery.

Materials and methods

This paper outlines a protocol for a randomized controlled trial with two arms. The sample will consist of 100 patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and are part of the Tehran Obesity Treatment Study. The participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive an educational intervention based on the health action process approach for a duration of eight weeks. The inclusion criteria for this study are patients who have undergone bariatric surgery at least one year prior to the study. All primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at two different time points: baseline and four months after the completion of the intervention, for each participant.

Conclusion

The results of this study offer valuable insights into the advantages of theory-based educational interventions in improving outcomes of bariatric surgery. These findings present an opportunity for health planners, practitioners, nurses specializing in bariatric surgery care, policy makers, and patients to utilize an effective intervention in the field.

基于健康行动过程方法的干预对减肥手术患者一年后减肥手术结果的影响：一项随机对照试验方案

背景：大量研究表明，很多人在减肥手术后体重反弹。为了维持长期的减肥效果，必须帮助患者采用和维持健康的生活方式改变。实施旨在增强自我管理行为的认知干预对于支持患者术后维持体重减轻的努力至关重要。材料和方法本文概述了一项两组随机对照试验的方案。样本将包括100名接受过减肥手术的患者，这些患者是德黑兰肥胖治疗研究的一部分。参与者将被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预组将根据保健行动过程方法接受为期八周的教育干预。本研究的纳入标准是在研究前至少一年接受过减肥手术的患者。所有主要和次要结果将在两个不同的时间点测量：基线和干预完成后4个月，对于每个参与者。结论本研究的结果为基于理论的教育干预在改善减肥手术结果方面的优势提供了有价值的见解。这些发现为健康计划人员、从业人员、专门从事减肥手术护理的护士、政策制定者和患者提供了在该领域利用有效干预的机会。
