“…Por otra parte, entre los estudios de calidad metodológica media, tres de ellos (31,(33)(34)(35) indican diferencias significativas en cuanto a la pérdida de peso en el grupo de intervención de coaching comparado con el grupo control. Sin embargo, en el estudio The Change Program (32) las diferencias no son significativas quizás debido a que el grupo control incorpora también técnicas de coaching.…”

“…y por otra qué formación en coaching ha recibido. En algunos estudios (27)(28)(29)31,(33)(34)(35)40,41,(54)(55)(56) no se aporta suficiente información que especifique la formación de coaching que reciben los profesionales que aplican la intervención, por lo que no podemos garantizar que ésta exista. Por otra parte, en un 18% de los estudios incluidos en nuestra revisión (28,29,49,56,58,64,65) no se comenta nada al respecto de la formación académica del personal que aplica coaching, aspecto que impide saber los conocimientos técnicos que posee.…”

Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of overweight and obesity new strategies are needed for its prevention and treatment. Nutritional coaching (NC) has been shown to be effective in weight reduction although, due to the novelty of this concept, it's not always used properly. Objective: To verify if NC, in addition to dietary assessment, is an effective approach to weight loss in overweight or obese population compared to technical dietary assessment. Material and methods: We performed a search for papers related to NC to establish quality parameters for this intervention. A systematic review was conducted, including randomized controlled trials that apply CN according to the selected parameters and comparing it with technical dietary assessment. Results: Eight high quality studies were included in the analysis. Among these, six revealed statistical differences on behalf of the group that received NC. Conclusion: Nutritional coaching is an effective approach for weight reduction. Future nutritional coaching intervention research would benefit from clear definitions of this new model.

“…Although self‐monitoring itself, such as keeping a food journal, has been shown to be effective in helping with weight loss in other studies , more detailed tracking of dietary intakes and physical activity was typically employed. Some studies with technology‐assisted self‐monitoring have also shown effectiveness . Regardless, typical self‐monitoring data are not objective and are subject to report bias.…”

Objective The impact of a text messaging‐assisted lifestyle weight loss intervention on weight change among overweight adults in Beijing was examined. Methods It was a 6‐month randomized two arm clinical trial. The control group received a brief advice session after randomization. The intervention group received three group sessions, five coaching calls, and a daily text message prompting participants to follow predetermined lifestyle goals. Results A total of 123 participants were randomized. At 6 months, controls gained 0.24 ± 0.28 kg (0.21% ± 0.38%) (NS) while intervention participants lost 1.6 ± 0.28 kg (2.31% ± 0.38%) (p < 0.0001). Intervention participants decreased waist circumference (WC) (−2.69 ± 0.43 cm, p < 0.0001), percent body fat (%BF) (−0.66% ± 0.19%, p = 0.0007), and systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) significantly (−1.71 ± 1.12/−3.24 ± 0.87 mmHg), while the controls had no change in WC and %BF and increased SBP/DBP by 2.43 ± 1.14/1.20 ± 0.88 mmHg (between groups: p = 0.01/p = 0.0004). Conclusions This text message‐assisted lifestyle intervention was effective in reducing weight, WC, %BF, and improving BP. Coupled with the scalable feature of the intervention, this finding is intriguing in light of the potential reach of the intervention for countries like China where mobile phone penetration is high and the obesity rate continues to rise.

“…60 Innovative approaches to increase patients' adherence to recommendations are required. The use of mobile health technologies and telecommunication has rapidly been integrated into the health-care delivery system for the management of chronic illnesses (eg, hypertension, 61 weight loss, 62 and diabetes 63 ) and may prove useful for improving adherence in patients with CF by allowing adolescents to directly call their CF health-care team and by promoting safe social interactions and peer support. 4 The results of this systematic review should be considered in light of the following limitations.…”

Adherence of Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis to Their Home Program: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: The management of cystic fibrosis (CF) includes adherence to a home management program (airway clearance, medication, nutritional advice, and exercise). This has led to an increase in life expectancy, although the benefits depend greatly on a patient's level of adherence to daily treatments at home. To date, no systematic review has established adherence rates to all World Health Organization guidelines in the home setting; hence, this review was undertaken. METHODS: The review comprised 3 phases. A methodological assessment of databases (Embase, CINAHL, PsychINFO, PEDro, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) identified potentially relevant papers. These papers were screened for inclusion criteria by 2 independent reviewers, data were extracted, and the internal validity was rated using a valid and reliable scale. Results were categorized into 4 themes: medication, nutrition, airway clearance techniques, and exercise. RESULTS: The search generated a total of 26 papers, 24 of which were rated as being poor quality. Adherence to a treatment program for CF patients is generally low (from 22% for nutritional guidelines to 130% for oral antibiotics), and it varies greatly depending on the type of treatment and the method of assessment employed (objective tool vs self-reported questionnaires). CONCLUSIONS: Consensus on how to measure adherence is lacking, and the quality of studies addressing adherence in this population is generally poor. Overall, studies using self-reported measures yielded higher adherence scores than those that used objective measures, suggesting that current efforts to improve methods of adherence are appropriate. The prevalence of non-adherence remains unclear due to these limitations.
