PRECEDE-PROCEED Model Nursing Intervention in Health Education for Parents of Obese Children
Insights
The PRECEDE-PROCEED model significantly improved health knowledge and behaviors in parents of obese children. This intervention enhanced health education application at home, improving children's health and quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Public Health
- Health Education
Background:
- Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern.
- Effective interventions are needed to improve health behaviors and quality of life for obese children and their families.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model in improving health behaviors and quality of life for obese children and their parents.
- To assess the impact of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model on parental health education strategies.
Main Methods:
- A 12-month intervention study involving 524 pediatric patients with obesity.
- Comparison of a control group receiving conventional weight reduction instruction with a test group implementing the PRECEDE-PROCEED model.
- Assessment using a custom questionnaire scale at baseline and 12-month follow-up.
Main Results:
- Parents in the PRECEDE-PROCEED group showed significantly improved obesity-related knowledge, positive attitudes, awareness of obesity's harms, and behavior formation for obesity control compared to the control group (P < .05).
- The intervention demonstrated significant differences between the groups.
Conclusions:
- The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is effective in transforming home-based health education for parents of obese children.
- The model leads to improved health behaviors and enhanced quality of life for obese children.
Objective:
To study the intervention effects of the health education and health promotion (PRECEDE-PROCEED) model on the health behaviors and quality of life of obese children and their parents.
Methods:
524 patients who attended our pediatric obesity clinic from January to December 2021 were selected and divided into two groups: the control group (n = 262) and the test group (n = 262). The control group was guided by conventional weight reduction instruction, while the test group implemented the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. Based on this model, interventions were developed following the 9 links of the model, with tendency factors, contributing factors, and reinforcing factors as the core and 6 aspects of health behaviors were focused upon, and were followed up for 12 months. A home-made questionnaire scale was used to assess the subjects at their initial visit and one year after the intervention.
Results:
After the intervention, the awareness rate of obesity-related knowledge, support rate of attitude toward improving childhood obesity, awareness rate of disease harm caused by obesity, and formation rate of controlling childhood obesity behavior had significantly improved among the parents of the test group compared to the control group, with significant differences between the two groups (P < .05).
Conclusion:
The PRECEDE-PROCEED model can transform the way parents of obese children apply health education at home, improving health behaviors and quality of life.
