Effective Method for Controlling Adult ObesityTelana Fairchild, BSN, RN

University of Massachusetts- Worcester- Graduate School of Nursing

How does the Primary Care Provider guided behavior modification, transtheoretical model- stages of change (TTM SOC), for diet and physical activity for the obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) adult patients (seventeen

years and older) compare to a standard commercial weight loss program, Weight Watchers (WW) concerning weight loss of at least five percent in three months and maintenance for at least year?

Databases: PubMed, Cochran Library, and Ovid Terms: “obesity AND motivational interviewing,” “obesity AND transtheoretical model,” “obesity AND

weight watchers,” “obesity treatment AND primary care,” and “obesity AND five A’s” (7,412)

New guidelines are supported

MI and WW together Influential factors: willingness, adherence, and

accuracy, ethnicity, time, cost WW and number of session (adherence) Compared: WW ≥ MI Weight loss involves multiple behaviors Use of all 5 A’s

As a future provider:• Patient-centered treatment using MI• Understand barriers• Use WW program when possible • Or use similar plan using nursing visits and

nutritionist Insurance companies need to cover cost

For R.M.: referral to the WW program for weekly sessions with PCP behavior guided modifications biweekly until 10% weight loss is achieved. Needs weight reduction of 30% from his current baseline achieve 10% reevaluate his need and desire to continue his weight loss regimen using MI and treat accordingly with the goal of another 10% until normal weight is achieved.

Target outcome should be weight reduction as there is proof this will lead to reduction of other chronic illness and comorbidities

Need to include all demographics and ethnicities For understanding weight loss maintenance, research should look at 5-10yrs If MI is researched use a tool to measure appropriate use and application of MI More focus now on cost as well, insurance companies need to consider covering cost of these visits or at

least reducing cost
