Pilot study of an action plan intervention for self-management in overweight/obese adults in a medically underserved
Abstract:
This study was conducted to evaluate an action plan intervention for self-management in overweight/obese adults in a minority population. Study variables were patient activation, health self-efficacy, and health-related practice. A mixed QUAN (qual) quasi-experimental single group pre-test post-test study was conducted. Action plan intervention was implemented and evaluated in a random sample of 19 African American adults. Results showed that post intervention scores increased in health-related practice and health self-efficacy that were positively correlated. Action plan achievement was predicted by the pre-intervention activation score. Findings suggest that the roles of patient activation and self-efficacy are essential for success in self-management.
