Effects of a weight management program delivered by social media on weight and metabolic syndrome risk factors in overweight and obese adults: A randomised controlled trial
See more Setting of implementation: N/A Professionals delivering the intervention: N/A Targeted self-management behaviours: N/A
Components
Individual sessions
A single person receives the self-management support. Examples: self-guided actions (without the participation of any other person) during a clinical visit or within the context of a support or educational session
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.

Components
Education (E)
Education (E)
Sharing information. This form of support consists in sharing of information about self-management topics like coping with symptoms, diet, exercise, medication, information about what other people are doing, and information about the disease itself, or about any other relevant aspects that could lead to improved self-management, and ultimately better health. This information can be told or distributed in printed materials like a folder or workbook, or via website or DVD.
Examples: Educational session on healthy eating for people with obesity, provision of a printed leaflet on the importance of foot care in diabetes, or a link to a website with information on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care.
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Self-monitoring training and feedback. Training and encouraging people to recognize, monitor, and record behaviours, symptoms, or clinical data. This process may include regular feedback from a clinician, or a synopsis of information registered in a digital tool to encourage you to continue monitoring your illness and behaviours.
Example: Showing a patient how to record blood sugar levels, physical activity, or pain.

Social support (SS)
Social support (SS)
Helping you to think through how you could obtain social support from others to help them achieve behavioural or outcome goals. It could also include the actual provision of social support or discussions about social support networks suited to your preferences, needs, disease burden, or additional life burdens. Part of this support would include linking you to relevant community services to enhance socialization and make the most of support mechanisms in the local community.
Examples: Encouraging family members to become involved in helping you to manage your disease or encouraging you to participate in a local exercise group.
In group
Two or more patients or caregivers receive a self-management intervention. Group interventions are normally organized for efficiency purposes or to facilitate learning and knowledge exchange among peers (people living with the same health condition). For example, peer-led education group to enhance physical activity in obese individuals.
Remote
When patients (and/or caregivers) are not in the same place as the health care providers. This interaction can take place through different communication means or tools (e.g., telephone, smartphone, Internet).
