Effectiveness of the Fun For Wellness Online Behavioral Intervention to Promote Subjective Well-Being in Adults with Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

An Exploration of the Effectiveness of the Fun For Wellness Online Intervention to Promote Health in Adults With Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…In line with our second hypothesis, self-efficacy at 30 days led to positive outcomes in both domains of health after 60 days. In a previous publication, it was also reported that FFW improved physical activity self-efficacy in this group (Myers, McMahon, et al, 2020). Taken as a whole, there is hope that improved self-efficacy, a key target of FFW, will indeed enhance the well-being of people with weight problems.…”

“…Readers are referred to Myers et al (2019) for a fuller description of the protocol for the Well-Being and Physical Activity Study. A populated CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)-EHEALTH checklist was provided for the Well-Being and Physical Activity Study by Myers, McMahon, et al (2020), who reported on the physical activity outcome data. The health outcome data that are the primary focus of this manuscript have not been considered in any previous report.…”

“…The health outcome data that are the primary focus of this manuscript have not been considered in any previous report. The demographic covariates and compliance data briefly reported in subsequent sections of this manuscript, however, have also been reported by Myers, McMahon, et al (2020). See also Table 1.…”

“…Instead of using a general self-efficacy measure, our team developed a specific well-being self-efficacy measure, which is, according to various authors, the preferred mode of assessing self-efficacy (Bandura, 2006; Myers, McMahon, et al, 2020; Myers, Prilleltensky, Hill, & Feltz, 2017). Our measure, as we shall explain below, measures physical well-being self-efficacy and psychological well-being self-efficacy separately.…”

“…With regard to the population of people with obesity, a second RCT with FFW showed that participants increased their self-efficacy in terms of physical activity, and that, in turn, self-efficacy increased their actual physical activity (Myers, McMahon, et al, 2020). In addition, FFW improved community, occupational, physical, and psychological wellness (Myers, Prilleltensky, et al, 2020). This study measures the impact of FFW on the physical and mental well-being of participants.…”
