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.
