Challenges for change : results from an occupation-based intervention targeting parents to children with obesity
- 2012
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: A family intervention has been developed targeting parents with children having obesity. The parents attended the programme during one year. The assumption was that a change in parents’ daily occupations to include more regular meals, physical activity and a variation among obligations and rest would lead to a healthier lifestyle and a normalization of their children’s BMI.Aim: The study aim was to investigate whether parents attending the intervention, gradually changed their time use and experiences in occupations together with their children regarding; preparing and having meals, in physically active and inactive occupations.Method: The research context was a randomized trial involving families with preschool children having obesity. Forty parents (n=40) were included. Time-geographical diaries were collected from all parents (T1-T 6) together with The Occupational Value Assessment with predefined items (Oval-pd). Analysis was performed by a repeated measures design.Results will be reported and discussed at the conference.

Changes in Parents' Time Use and Its Relationship to Child Obesity
- 2014

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: The aim was to explore any change in parents' time use together with their children, changes in their perceived occupational value, and its relationship to children's body mass index (BMI) over the course of a one-year occupation-focused family intervention. Method: The study sample consisted of participants in one arm of a randomized controlled trial, involving mothers and fathers (n = 30) of 17 children aged 4-6 years who were considered obese. Data were collected by time-geographical diaries during the intervention and by measuring the parents' occupational value and the children's BMI before and after the intervention. Results: At the end of the intervention, an increase was shown in the amount of time parents spent together with their children during weekdays (p = .042) and the parents perceived occupational value (p = .013). Children's BMI z-score changed with -0.11 units. Conclusion: Collaboration with parents may be useful in interventions aiming at facilitating a normal weight development among children. © 2014 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.

Effect of an occupation-focused family intervention on change in parents’ time use and children’s body mass index

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OBJECTIVE. This study explored factors related to changes in the time parents spent with their children with obesity and associated decreases in children’s body mass index (BMI) z-scores after an occupation-focused intervention.METHOD. Parents participated in a 1-yr occupation-focused intervention to promote healthy family lifestyles. Data on 40 parents of 22 children with obesity ages 4–6 yr were collected before and after intervention and analyzed using linear and multiple regression methods.RESULTS. Parents increased time spent with their children by an average of 91 min/day. Parents’ finances, perceived satisfaction in daily occupations, low BMI, and mastery at inclusion were associated with increased time spent with their children. Mothers’ subjective health and high mastery and fathers’ perceived occupational value and education explained 67% of the variance in children’s BMI z-scores.CONCLUSION. The results indicate important factors to consider in developing interventions that facilitate occupational engagement and health among children with obesity and their families.

Using a time-geographical diary method in order to facilitate reflections on changes in patterns of daily occupations
- 2012

In: Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy. - London : Informa Healthcare. - 1103-8128 .- 1651-2014. ; 19:3, s. 249-259

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective and methods: Time-use methodologies have been proposed to be established research techniques when exploring aspects of daily occupations. In this study, two graphs illustrating the time arrangement of occupations as they appear in a continuous sequence were used in order to encourage individuals to reflect on their everyday life. The aim was to investigate the usefulness of a time-geographical diary method (using illustrative graphs) in combination with stimulated-recall interviews, to facilitate reflections on how patterns of daily occupations change over time and the causes that lie behind these changes. The study had a qualitative design. The participants were two working, married mothers, i.e. individuals considered to have highly complex patterns of daily occupations. The data analysis was performed by using thematic content analysis. Results: The results showed that the stimulated-recall interviews, based on the graphs, facilitated new insights that came to light concerning the scope of the participants' daily life. The method enabled the participants to reflect on their patterns of daily occupations and become aware of changes relevant to explain the causes for engaging in occupations the way they did. Conclusions: The method thus seems useful in research and practice for occupational therapists working with individuals with a need to change lifestyle. © 2012 Informa Healthcare.
