Abstract
Purpose: To explore and describe the experiences of Saudi women with obesity regarding cultural barriers that prevent them from following dietary and physical activity recommendations.
Design: Phenomenological qualitative study.
Methods: A focus group (4 participants) and individual interviews (13 participants) were conducted from seventeen women participating in a nutrition and weight management program.
Findings: Several themes were identified based on experiences and consequences of cultural restraints.
Conclusions: Findings provide an understanding of how cultural factors impede Saudi women with obesity from achieving effective weight management.
Clinical evidence: Designing weight management programs that are individualized and consider the differences in how women are culturally affected provide more effective interventions for women with obesity.
