摘要
Purpose This paper describes a project to assess the feasibility of a brief healthy lifestyle health education group (HE) program and its effects on patient outcomes. Design and Methods Forty adult inpatients were enrolled in the HE program, which featured a one-group, pretest or posttest design deployed in an adult psychiatric unit. Outcomes comprised (1) feasibility and acceptability of the program and (2) changes in patient knowledge and weight. Findings The HE program demonstrates not only feasibility, but also improvement in patient outcomes related to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Practice Implications Requisite changes in practice are necessary for the success of the HE program deployed in a typical, inpatient psychiatric unit.
