IntroductionObesity/Overweight- Imbalance between energy intake and

energy expenditure

• The fifth leading cause of death around the world, killing at least 2.8 million adults yearly

• More than 30 % of adults (>20 years) are overweight• Close to 34 % are obese• Nearly 6% are morbidly obese• Close to 17% of children and adolescents ( 2 to 19 yrs old) are

obese(Ben-Sefer, 2009; Media Centre WHO, 2011; Ogden & Carroll, 2010)

Page 7: Introduction

Risk Factors for Obesity Genetic predisposition Lack of exercise and sedentary

lifestyle Unhealthy dietary habits Stress Overconsumption of energy

drinks Lack of sleep Shift schedules

Purpose

• To conduct a feasibility study at Texas Woman’s University Institute for Women’s Health (TWU IWH) on obesity prevention (NURS with EASE) in prenursing students.

• To determine the impact of a 6-week nutrition and physical activity intervention on body composition, weight, body mass index, and readiness for health behavior changes in prenursing students at TWU campus in Denton, Texas.

Page 11: Introduction

Problem Statement• Excessive weight gain occurs in freshman college students related to:

– More independence and autonomy – Increased stress levels – Limited access to healthy snack foods and meal choices – Diet and physical activity habits are still forming in early adulthood– Irregular sleeping hours and lack of sleep– Irregular physical activity– Consumption of high-calorie energy drinks

Evan, Moyle, & Purcell, 2006; Laska et al., 2011, Watson et al., 2008

Page 12: Introduction

Problem Statement on Obesity in Prenursing Students

Obesity affects their own health.

Obesity also affects their capability to perform as healthy role models and

patient educators.

Page 13: Introduction

Research Questions

• What are modifiable risk factors for obesity and overweight among prenursing students on TWU Denton Campus?

• What are self-reported barriers to behavior changes among prenursing students?

• Does a 6-week nutrition and physical activity intervention have an impact on body composition measurements, body mass index, and readiness for behavioral change?

Page 14: Introduction

Theoretical Framework

Prochaska’s Stages of Change model

• Pre-contemplation• Contemplation• Preparation• Action• Maintenance• Relapse

(Kern, 2008; Prochaska, Diclemente, & Norcross, 1992)

Page 15: Introduction

Operational Definitions• Body mass index (BMI) used as standard measure for

overweight and obesity; kg of body weight/height in m2. Overweight defined as a BMI of 25 or more, and obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or more.

• Obesity can be classified as Class I, BMI is 30 to 34.9; class II, BMI is 35 to 39.9, and class III, BMI is 40 and above.

Page 16: Introduction

Theoretical and Operational Definitions

• Prenursing students are defined as freshman and sophomore students, 18 years of age or older, and have declared nursing as their desired major.

• Initial stage of readiness among prenursing students is initial self-reported pretest measure at intake assessment for all study participants regarding their readiness to change their diet and participate in physical activity (Prochaska, 1992).

Page 17: Introduction

InstrumentsFor the feasibility study (6-week nutrition and physical activity intervention)• Body Composition Measures –height, weight, skinfolds • 24-hour Dietary Record• Texas Woman’s University Health Questionnaire• IWH Wellness & Sport Evaluation Program Demographic Questionnaire • Stages of Change Questionnaire (consists of 7-item, 5-point Likert-type scale)• Readiness and Confidence for Change: How Ready are You?• Self-Rated Abilities of Health Practices Questionnaire

For the 8-week nutrition and physical activity intervention, will add• PAR-Q Form• The Body Self-Esteem Scale

Page 18: Introduction

ParticipantsFor the feasibility study

• 31 prenursing students at TWU Denton campus; • 18-21 years old; • female; 16 in the intervention group and 15 in control group

Page 19: Introduction

Data Analysis

• SPSS 19.0• Descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and median

for each group

• Mann-Whitney U analyses • to test differences between each of pre-intervention measures by group • to test differences between intervention and control group post-tests

Page 20: Introduction

Mann-Whitney U Analysis

Page 21: Introduction

Data Analysis• Overweight and Obesity in Students

• Pre-intervention BMI• Intervention (n=13): mean 29.8• Control (n=10): mean 31.6

Page 22: Introduction

Data Analysis• No significant changes in post-test measures in sample

• Thigh circumference change in intervention group trended toward significant change at p=0.063.

• Students rated satisfaction with study very high. They were articulate about their challenges to make healthy diet and exercise choices in college environment.

Page 23: Introduction

Data Analysis

A marginally significant difference between groups for post-intervention thigh measurement, U = 35.00, p = .063

Page 24: Introduction

Implications Stress was experienced in science courses and during exams. Pressure to achieve an “A” to be admitted into nursing school.

Page 25: Introduction

Next Study: Fall 2012• Larger sample size to achieve power (n=50)• Longer duration of intervention program – 8 weeks

Peer Mentors

Page 26: Introduction

Next Steps• Manuscript about feasibility study accepted in Nursing Forum.

• The 8-week intervention study has IRB approval and will begin in Fall 2012.

• Based on pilot study’s effect size (η2 = .114), alpha of .05, and power of .80, total sample size of 46 is needed to account for 20% attrition across 8 weeks. An additional four individuals will be recruited: 25 prenursing students will be in intervention group and 25 in control group.

• Each peer mentor will be assigned a group of 6-7 students, with a total of 8 peer mentors.

Page 27: Introduction

Research Questions for the Next Step Study- An 8-Week Intervention

• Do weight loss and physical activity differ between intervention and control groups?

• What is overall impact of an 8-week nutrition and physical activity intervention on body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and body image in pre-nursing students at Texas Woman’s University Denton campus?

• Will use of peer mentors increase prenursing students’ participation in Nursing with EASE program?

Page 28: Introduction

Implications for Education

• Self-care and health promotion must be included in education.

• Nursing is stressful and can have irregular work schedules. This can lead to overeating and lack of exercise.

• Student nurses need to be taught health-promoting behaviors and stress-relieving techniques during their education.

• Universities, the healthcare industry, and employee health and wellness programs must focus on nursing students and nurses as a special population for weight management.

• Weight should be included as a topic in diversity training.

Position of ANA 2011-2012. ANA helps nurses integrate healthy habits into their personal and professional lives and become “Models of Wellness in Action” for patients, their families, and the larger community.
