背景:大学一年级学生患心理健康问题和营养状况差的风险增加。自我护理在优化心理健康方面起着至关重要的作用,可以预防或管理压力,焦虑,和抑郁症。与传统方法相比,基于网络的饮食和身体活动自我监测可以带来相似或改善的健康结果。这样的工具在大学生中也很受欢迎。
目的:这项为期12周的随机对照试验的主要目的是评估基于网络的健康平台对一年级大学生感知压力的影响。次要目的是评估平台对饮食质量的影响。探索性目标是探索平台对身体成分的影响,与健康相关的生活质量,正念,心理健康,和身体活动。
方法:将97名一年级本科生随机分为干预组(n=48)或对照组(n=49)。干预包括访问一个名为MyVivaPlan(MVP)的基于Web的平台,旨在通过专注于正念的主题来支持健康的生活,营养,和身体活动。该平台是完全自动化的,并以认知行为理论的原理为指导。干预组的参与者被指示在12周内尽可能频繁地使用MVP。对照组未获得MVP。在基线时使用压力指标问卷评估感知压力,第6周和第12周。使用三天的食物记录来分析基线和第12周的饮食摄入量。与健康相关的生活质量,正念,心理健康,和身体活动问卷在基线完成,第6周和第12周。在基线和第12周评估身体组成。研究评估在基线和第12周亲自完成,在第6周电子完成。
结果:研究招募于2018年8月开始,在阿尔伯塔大学的秋季(2018年9月至2018年12月)和冬季(2019年1月至2019年4月)学术学期注册的学生批量注册。埃德蒙顿,艾伯塔省.
结论:这项研究首次探讨了旨在促进健康和健康的基于网络的平台对一年级大学生感知压力和饮食质量的影响。

BACKGROUND: First-year university students are at an increased risk for developing mental health issues and a poor nutritional status. Self-care plays an essential role in optimizing mental health and can prevent or manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Web-based self-monitoring of diet and physical activity can lead to similar or improved health outcomes compared with conventional methods. Such tools are also popular among university students.
OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this 12-week randomized controlled
trial is to assess the impact of a web-based wellness platform on perceived stress among first-year university students. The secondary aim is to assess the effects of the platform on diet quality. The exploratory objectives are to explore the effects of the platform on body composition, health-related quality of life, mindfulness, mental well-being, and physical activity.
METHODS: A total of 97 first-year undergraduate students were randomized to either the intervention (n=48) or control (n=49) group. The intervention consisted of access to a web-based platform called My Viva Plan (MVP), which aims to support healthy living by focusing on the topics of mindfulness, nutrition, and physical activity. The platform is fully automated and guided by the principles of cognitive behavioral theory. Participants in the intervention group were instructed to use the MVP as frequently as possible over 12 weeks. The control group did not receive access to MVP. Perceived stress was assessed using the Stress Indicators Questionnaire at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Three-day food records were used to analyze the dietary intake at baseline and week 12. Health-related quality of life, mindfulness, mental well-being, and physical activity questionnaires were completed at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Body composition was assessed at baseline and week 12.
Study assessments were completed in person at baseline and week 12 and electronically at week 6.
RESULTS: Study recruitment started in August 2018, with batch enrollment for students registered in the fall (September 2018 to December 2018) and winter (January 2019 to April 2019) academic terms at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta.
CONCLUSIONS: This
study is the first to explore the impact of a web-based platform designed to promote health and wellness on perceived stress and diet quality among first-year university students.
