Abstract

This study conducted a secondary analysis of data from a university-based health and wellness coaching program to investigate the difference in coach/client working alliance and psychosocial assets across three self-selected delivery modalities. Longitudinal data from 130 students who self-selected in-person (43.1%), video conferencing (32.3%), or audio-only coaching (24.6%) were utilized. Key variables included demographics, psychosocial assets (confidence, motivation, readiness for behavior change), and working alliance (autonomy, competence, relatedness). Compared to other modalities, a higher proportion of graduate students (47.6%) and older students (M = 28.0, SD = 9.8) chose video coaching, and more gender-nonconforming students (12.5%) chose audio-only coaching. Participants reported increased confidence, motivation, and readiness for change over time with no differences by modality. For all modes, the strength of the coach/client relationship increased over time; in-person participants reported greater autonomy and competence. Findings support various modalities for fostering the working alliance and psychosocial assets fundamental for initiation and maintenance of health-related goals.

探索以大学为基础的健康和健康教练项目的结果：三种自我选择的交付方式的比较。

本研究对一所大学的健康和健康教练项目的数据进行了二次分析，以调查三种自我选择的交付方式在教练/客户工作联盟和心理社会资产方面的差异。来自130名学生的纵向数据被利用，他们选择亲自（43.1%）、视频会议（32.3%）或纯音频指导（24.6%）。关键变量包括人口统计、社会心理资产（信心、动机、行为改变的准备）和工作联盟（自主性、能力、相关性）。与其他方式相比，研究生（47.6%）和年龄较大的学生（M = 28.0, SD = 9.8）选择视频辅导的比例更高，而性别不一致的学生（12.5%）选择纯音频辅导的比例更高。参与者报告说，随着时间的推移，他们对改变的信心、动机和准备程度都有所提高，而不同的模式之间没有差异。对于所有模式，教练/客户关系的强度随着时间的推移而增加；面对面的参与者报告了更大的自主权和能力。调查结果支持促进工作联盟和社会心理资产的各种方式，这对启动和维持与健康有关的目标至关重要。
