Abstract

Objective

This process evaluation aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Aussie-FIT, a group-based weight loss intervention for men with overweight and obesity in Australia.

Design

Process data and data collected from: (1) six-participant focus groups (n= 24), (2) coach interviews (n = 4), (3) audio recordings of Aussie-FIT sessions and (4) post-program participant surveys (n= 93) were analysed.

Main Outcome Measures

We explored the feasibility and acceptability of program setting and context, recruitment strategies, factors impacting implementation and mechanisms of impact.

Results

Recruitment via Australian Football League (AFL) clubs was highly effective; 426 men expressed interest within 3 days of advertising, 130 men took part. Program attendance was not consistently recorded by coaches. Coach interviews indicated a ‘core group of men’ participated in each session (typically 10–12 of 15 men). Program delivery proved feasible in the AFL context. Program acceptability and satisfaction were high. Internalisation of autonomous motives was identified as driving behaviour change. Behaviour change to support maintained weight loss was facilitated through habit formation, goal setting and effective management of multiple goals.

Conclusion

Aussie-FIT sets a blueprint for future weight loss interventions that utilise behaviour change strategies and principles of self-determined motivation to support men to lose weight.

Aussie-FIT 过程评估：男性减肥干预的可行性和可接受性，在澳大利亚足球联赛环境中提供

摘要

客观的

该过程评估旨在评估 Aussie-FIT 的可行性和可接受性，Aussie-FIT 是针对澳大利亚超重和肥胖男性的基于群体的减肥干预措施。

设计

过程数据和从以下方面收集的数据：(1) 六人焦点小组（n = 24），(2) 教练访谈（n = 4），(3) Aussie-FIT 会议的录音和 (4) 项目后参与者对调查（n = 93）进行了分析。

主要观察指标

我们探讨了项目设置和背景、招聘策略、影响实施的因素和影响机制的可行性和可接受性。

结果

通过澳大利亚足球联盟 (AFL) 俱乐部进行的招募非常有效；广告发布后 3 天内有 426 名男性表示有兴趣，130 名男性参与了。教练并没有始终如一地记录课程出勤率。教练访谈表明“核心男性群体”参加了每个课程（通常是 15 名男性中的 10-12 名）。在 AFL 背景下，项目交付被证明是可行的。计划的接受度和满意度很高。自主动机的内化被确定为驱动行为改变。通过养成习惯、设定目标和有效管理多个目标，促进了支持持续减肥的行为改变。
