Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and pilot a mobile health application, ¡®NICE Health Ten¡¯, for a tailored health behavior intervention based on intervention mapping approach and transtheoretical model to prevent metabolic syndrome for Korean adults.
Methods: We applied intervention mapping approach to design development of a mobile health application. Also, transtheoretical model¡¯s concepts such as stages of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy were applied to develop contents of mobile health application. Pilot preintervention-postintervention analysis was conducted and total 68 subjects were recruited and used ¡®NICE Health Ten¡¯ once a week for 8 weeks.
Results: Health status and recommendations were provided for each physiological and behavioral factor associated with metabolic syndrome by developed ¡®NICE Health Ten¡¯. According to the pilot testing, the significant changes of knowledge, decisional balance, self-efficacy, and stages of change distribution related to healthy physical activity, healthy diet, and moderate drinking were in 20s adults who used ¡®NICE Health Ten¡¯ except for decisional balance of moderate drinking.
Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome can be prevented by implementing mobile health application intervention for health behavioral change. Also, Intervention Mapping is effective to design an intervention for metabolic syndrome.
