Motivational stages in behavior change of overweight adolescents
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the motivational stage for behavior change in overweight adolescents and to verify the relationships between variables. Method: descriptive, exploratory and correlational investigation. Forty-seven adolescents participated in an obesity consultation in Portugal. Data obtained between May and September 2018, through a questionnaire consisting of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale that evaluates motivation for change, and the Contour Drawing Rating Scale that evaluates satisfaction with body image. Results: prevalence of females n=33 (70.2%); mean age: 15.51 years. Mean body mass index of 29.05 kg/m2. Regarding the motivation for behavior change, the "pre-conception" dimension is the one with a higher average value ( =21.95±2.39). The older adolescents who were in the pre-contemplation and contemplation stage were the ones who were more motivated to change behaviors. Conclusion: the adolescents presented mostly dissatisfaction with self-image and low motivation for behavior change, with the pre-contemplation motivational stage being the most prevalent. Knowledge of motivational stages allows health professionals to adjust the most appropriate therapeutic intervention strategies for each adolescent.
