Abstract

Background: Assessing individual’s READINESS TO CHANGE and targeting the intervention to the level of readiness may improve successful WEIGHT LOSS rates. This study aimed to assess readiness for WEIGHT LOSS in OBESE WOMEN using the trans theoretical model.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 volunteer apparently healthy OBESE WOMEN, in Ardabil, Iran. Participants completed the translated and validated University of Rhode Island Change Assessment questionnaire in their first visit. Subjects were categorized into one of the stages of change based on the highest of four z-transformed scale scores. The READINESS TO CHANGE score was calculated.Results: More than half of the participants were in early stages of WEIGHT LOSS and 24.5% were in the action stage. The readiness score in the precontemplation stage was significantly lower than the other stages, but no significant difference was observed among the contemplation, action and maintenance stages. The significant correlation was observed between the stages of change and waist-to-hip ratio (r=0.33, P<0.05).Conclusion: OBESE WOMEN attending the nutrition clinic are in different stages to change for WEIGHT LOSS. Understanding person specific stages of change orientates the dietitian to use the most appropriate counseling strategies. Hence the stages and READINESS TO CHANGE should be considered before implementing any intervention in clinical settings for optimal outcomes.
