網路衛生教育對體重過重民眾體重控制之效果研究

The effect of internet health education on body weight control for overweight people

本研究主要目的在於探討網路衛生教育對肥胖民眾體重控制之效果，從健康檢查的個案中，取得肥胖者身體質量指數（BMI）＞24的個案中分配為實驗組及對照組。兩組皆接受前測、後側的健康檢查（含身高、體重、空腹血糖、總膽固醇、三酸甘油脂及尿酸等）及進行肥胖知識、態度及行為的問卷調查。本研究發現重點如下：一、體重控制網路衛生教育介入後，研究對象在體重控制知識、態度與行為上的得分，雖然實驗組較對照組高，但均未達統計的顯著水準，所以表示介入在體重控制知識、態度與行為方面並未產生效果。二、體重控制網路衛生教育介入後，實驗組研究對象在身體質量指數上較對照組低，且達統計顯著水準，表示介入在身體質量指數方面有產生效果。三、體重控制網路衛生教育介入後，研究對象在空腹血糖、總膽固醇、三酸甘油脂與尿酸的指數上，實驗組均較對照組來得低，但是其中只有總膽固醇及男性的三酸甘油脂達統計的顯著水準。

The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of weight control on overweight people through web-based hygiene education.The research objects were recruited from regular health checkup program whose body mass index (BMI) were over 24 and were divided into study group and control group. Both groups received health checkup (including height, weight, total cholesterol, triglyceride, AC glucose and uric acid). Before and after intervention Questionnaire surveys of knowledge, attitudes and behavior regarding obesity were also carried out simultaneously. Result summary: 1. After the induction of web-based weight control hygiene education, people in the study group received higher scores of knowledge, attitudes and behavior about obesity than those in the control group. However, the results were all failed to reach the statistical significant level. Therefore, the induction of web-based weight control hygiene education had no effect upon one’s knowledge, attitudes and behavior of obesity. 2. After the induction of web-based weight control hygiene education, lower BMI was observed significantly in the study group than in the control group. The data demonstrate the induction of web-based weight control hygiene education had effect upon one’s BMI. 3. After the induction of web-based weight control hygiene education, lower values of AC glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride and uric acid were noticed among people in study group as compared with the control group. However, only total cholesterol and male triglyceride data showed statistical significance.
