Aim
Obesity is one of the most common diseases and is the main risk factor for the occurrence of other
non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Obesity can
be prevented and controlled by having a healthy lifestyle. One strategy that can be done is through
health promotion according to the culture and local context provided by trained community health
workers (CHWs) to promote a healthy lifestyle. This study protocol aimed to explain the protocol
overview of the research to be conducted concerning the effects of health promotion interventions
delivered by trained CHWs on obesity control in the adult population.
Content
This study employs a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design. Step one is a qualitative study
exploring the needs assessment to develop a health promotion intervention model for adults with
obesity based on the local sociocultural context. This study is followed by a quantitative study using
a quasi-experimental pretest–post-test design with a control group to evaluate the effects of health
promotion interventions delivered by trained CHWs through the Integrated Health Post for Noncommunicable Disease (POSBINDU PTM) in the Indonesian primary care context, especially at Depok
District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province. This step examines the effect of interventions on the
knowledge, attitude, and practice about obesity, and includes anthropometry outcomes such as body
mass index, waist circumference and quality of life among the adult people who participated in this
study.
Goal
The development of health promotion interventions requires a deep analysis of the sociocultural
conditions that exist in society. This is necessary due to the health promotion for target population that
can become more effective. The role of trained CHWs to help provide health promotion is critical in
reducing the disparity in access to health information, and in controlling the occurrence of obesity in
the adult population.
