rESUMo objetivo: Embora existam programas efetivos para tratamento da obesidade, são grandes as taxas de abandono. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o estágio motivacional em que se encontravam pacientes com sobrepeso ou obesidade I e II atendidos em ambulatório de Nutrição e seus fatores associados. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostragem por conveniência, em que foram coletadas informações da história clínica, antropometria, compulsão alimentar (BES -Binge Eating Scale) e motivação para o tratamento (URICA -University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale). resultados: Dos 48 avaliados, 29,2% encontravam-se em pré-contemplação, 41,7%, em contemplação e 29,2%, em ação. Quem procurou tratamento para controle de alguma comorbidade além da perda de peso teve maior escore de prontidão (p = 0,024). Motivação não foi relacionada ao estado nutricional nem à tentativa anterior de perda de peso, mas relacionou-se à orientação profissional anterior (p = 0,005). Dos 26,8% que apresentavam sintomatologia moderada ou grave para compulsão alimentar, 90,9% estavam em contemplação, com diferença significativa quanto à pré-contemplação (p = 0,001) e à ação (p = 0,02). Conclusão: Esses resultados sugerem que parte dos indivíduos que procuram tratamento para perda de peso não o faz com a motivação necessária e que, se o aconselhamento profissional quanto à importância da perda de peso ocorresse antes que patologias associadas à obesidade se instalassem, indivíduos mais motivados poderiam procurar tratamento e evitar tais complicações. aBStraCt objective: Although there are effective programs for treating obesity, are large dropout rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the motivational stage in patients who were overweight or obesity I and II, in an outpatient clinic nutrition, and its associated factors. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling, in which information from the clinical history, anthropometry, binge eating (BES -Binge Eating Scale) and motivation for treatment (URICA -University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale) were collected. results: Of the 48 evaluated, 29.2% were in precontemplation stage, 41.7% were in contem- plation stage and 29.2% were in action stage. Who sought treatment for comorbidity control besides the weight loss had greater readiness score (p = 0.024). Motivation was not related to nutritional status, nor the previous attempt at weight loss, but was related to the previous professional guidance (p = 0.005). Among 26.8% had moderate or severe symptoms for binge eating, 90.9% were in contemplation, with a significant difference in pre-contemplation (p = 0.001) and action (p = 0.02). Conclusion: These results suggest that individuals who seek treatment for weight loss do not make it with the necessary motivation, and that if professional advice on the weight loss importance occurred before the associated with obesity pathologies were installed, more motivated individuals could seek treating and preventing these complications.
