Self- efficacy in Weight control behaviors and Results of weight control Case Study : Weight control Project of NongKhai Hospital ’s personnel , 2015

Abstract

This descriptive study aimed to study self-efficacy in weight control behaviors and results of weight control in NongKhai Hospital’s personnel after the 10 months weight loss program participants were selected. Non – randomised overweight volunteers (BMI 23.0 – 24.9) were recruited. Questionnaire consisted 4 parts, Part 1: Personal information, Part 2: Self-efficacy about weight control include success action, the experience from seeing others, persuasion with words and stimulate our emotions, Part 3 :Weight control behaviors include eating habits, exercise and the practice of physical activity and Part 4 : Results of weight control.

Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics include percentage, mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence interval. The relationship between self-efficacy with behavioral control weight by using Pearson’s correlation. And compares weight before and after participating in 3 months and 10 months using statistical T-test. Results were as follows.

1. Personnel self - efficacy in weight control expectation was relatively high but weight control behaviors show irregular behavioral control, eating habits, exercise and the practice of physical activity. There is moderate positive correlation between weight control behavior and diet control behavior with statistically significant, p-value <0.01, Pearson’s correlation coefficients was 0.466
2. Weight before and after participating in 3 months and 10 months after finish program was statistically significant (p-value < 0.01).Compared weight before and after participating in the program 10 months were significantly different, p-value <0.01 as well. Compare the weight program there was no difference body weight reduction at 3 months and 10 months after finish.

The research findings show that NongKhai Hospital ’s personnel had participated weight reduction program year 2015, most weight loss after 3 months can weight control and not backward to overweight again(BMI <23.0). Therefore, activity patterns that are designed for the weight of this. It is appropriate degree. This can be used in the future. Or may be formed to design, develop additional activities. To make it even more efficient and effective.
