Bariatrik Cerrahi Hastalarında Farkındalık Temelli Eğitim Programı: Bir Eylem Araştırması Çalışma Protokolü

Öz

Amaç: Bariatrik cerrahi, obezitenin yönetiminde en etkili müdahalelerden biridir. Ancak bireylerin kilo verme ve verdiği kiloyu koruma konusundaki başarısının büyük ölçüde bireylerin cerrahi sürece ve buna eşlik eden yaşam tarzı değişikliklerine uyum sağlamasına bağlı olduğu bilinmektedir. Farkındalık uygulamaları, beyni yeniden şekillendirmede ve daha sağlıklı yeme davranışlarını teşvik etmede değerli araçlar olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Farkındalık üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, yeme farkındalığı tekniklerinin obezitenin önlenmesi ve tedavisinde önemli bir rol oynayabileceğini sürekli olarak göstermektedir. Bu çalışma protokolünde, bireylerin yeme farkındalığını geliştirmeye yönelik Bariatrik Cerrahi Hastalarında Farkındalık Temelli Eğitim Programı’nın (MBTP-BS) oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu makale, bir eylem araştırmasının çalışma protokolünü sunmaktadır. Bariatrik cerrahi öncesinde cerrahi kararı verilmiş hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiş olup, 15 katılımcı eylem grubuna, 15 katılımcı ise kontrol grubuna alınmıştır. Araştırmada, eylem grubuna ameliyat öncesi dönemde dört hafta sürecek farkındalık temelli egzersiz ve yeme farkındalığı uygulamaları müdahale olarak uygulanmıştır. Eğitimin etkinliği, eğitimden önce ve cerrahiden sonraki 3. ve 6. aylarda toplanan nicel ve nitel verilerin analiziyle değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma protokolünde SPIRIT raporlama kontrol listesi izlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma protokolü, bariatrik cerrahi hasta grubundaki bireylerin cerrahi süreçte uyumunu artırmak ve farkındalık temelli eğitim yoluyla yaşam tarzı değişikliklerine yönelmelerini sağlamak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Klinik Araştırma Kaydı: Çalışma 16 Ağustos 2023 tarihinde ClinicalTrials.gov’da (NCT05992662) kaydedilmiştir.

Mindfulness-Based Training Program in Bariatric Surgery Patients: An Action Research Study Protocol

Öz

Aim: Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective interventions in the management of obesity. However, it is known that individuals’ success in losing weight and maintaining that weight loss largely depends on their adherence to the surgical process and the accompanying lifestyle changes. Mindfulness practices have emerged as valuable tools in reshaping the brain and promoting healthier eating behaviors. Studies on mindfulness consistently show that mindful eating techniques can play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of obesity. This study protocol aims to develop a Mindfulness-Based Training Program in Bariatric Surgery Patients (MBTP-BS) to enhance individuals’ mindful eating. Methods: This article presents the study protocol of an action research. Patients who have been decided for surgery prior to bariatric surgery were included in the study, with 15 participants assigned to the action group and 15 participants to the control group. In the research, mindfulness-based exercises and eating awareness practices were implemented as an intervention for the action group during a preoperative period lasting four weeks. The effectiveness of the training was evaluated through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collected before the training and at the 3rd and 6th months after the surgery. The study protocol followed the SPIRIT reporting checklist. Conclusion: This study protocol is important for increasing the adherence of individuals in the bariatric surgery patient group to the surgical process and facilitating their engagement in lifestyle changes through mindfulness-based training. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05992662) on August 16, 2023.
