摘要

背景:儿童肥胖是一个严重的全球健康问题,影响着全世界约20%的儿童。数字健康行为改变干预措施有可能改善导致儿童肥胖的行为,如饮食和体育活动,但往往缺乏足够的用户参与,无法产生重大影响。目的:该项目的目的是开发证据,以更好地了解用户如何参与数字干预,以及如何利用行为改变技术来支持用户参与。具体来说,该研究将研究以家庭为中心的儿童肥胖预防应用程序对健康行为、健康结果以及家庭与医疗保健专业人员(HCPs)之间沟通的影响。方法:采用前测后测混合方法评估NoObesity应用程序对家庭体育活动和饮食行为的影响,以及对医护人员与家庭沟通儿童肥胖问题的自我效能感的影响。次要结果将包括幸福感、可用性以及用户对干预的参与和感知。将招募1000个家庭(18岁以下任何体重和年龄的儿童和年轻人及其父母)和180名健康护理人员参与研究;这些参与者的一个子集将被邀请参加定性半结构化访谈。研究实施和随访期将持续6个月,在基线和基线后3个月和6个月测量结果。定量结果将随着时间的推移使用重复测量方差分析进行比较,定性数据将根据应用程序使用数据进行主题分析和三角测量。结果:纽卡斯尔大学医学院伦理委员会(2688/41816)于2024年3月22日通过伦理批准。招募尚未开始,但将涉及获取知情同意(以及16岁以下参与者的同意)。结论:该项目的主要贡献将是提供证据,证明基于家庭的数字干预有可能支持家庭健康行为改变和卫生保健提供者对其支持能力的信心,并提高我们对如何使用特定行为改变技术来支持参与干预及其目标行为的理解。在患者和公众参与代表的支持下,研究结果将通过同行评议的期刊传播,并与公众分享。

Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Childhood obesity is a serious global health concern that affects approximately 20% of children worldwide. Digital health behavior change interventions have the potential to improve behaviors that can contribute to childhood obesity, such as diet and physical activity, but often lack sufficient user engagement to achieve significant impact.

Objective: The aim of this project is to develop evidence to better understand how users engage with digital interventions and how behavior change techniques can be leveraged to support engagement. Specifically, the study will examine the impact of a family-focused app for childhood obesity prevention on health behaviors, health outcomes, and communication between families and health care professionals (HCPs).

Methods: A pretest-posttest, mixed methods evaluation will examine the impact of the NoObesity app on families' physical activity and dietary behaviors and on HCPs' self-efficacy at communicating with families about childhood obesity. Secondary outcomes will include well-being, usability, and users' engagement with and perceptions of the intervention. An initial sample of 1000 families (children and young people of any weight and age under 18 years and their parents) and 180 HCPs will be recruited to participate in the study; a subset of these participants will be invited to take part in qualitative semistructured interviews. The study implementation and follow-up period will last for 6 months, with the outcomes measured at baseline and 3 and 6 months after baseline. Quantitative outcomes will be compared over time using repeated measures ANOVA, and qualitative data will be analyzed thematically and triangulated with app use data.

Results: Ethics approval was granted by the Newcastle University Faculty of Medical Science Ethics Committee (2688/41816) on March 22, 2024. Recruitment has not yet started but will involve capturing informed consent (and assent from participants younger than 16 years).

Conclusions: The project's key contributions will be to generate evidence of the potential for a family-based digital intervention to support families' health behavior change and HCPs' confidence in their ability to support them and to improve our understanding of how particular behavior change techniques can be used to support engagement with the intervention and its target behavior. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and shared with the general public, with support from patient and public involvement representatives.
