Abstract
This Quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effectiveness of the program which applies the theory of PRECEDE-PROCEED model to change health behavior among private overweight employees in Rayong province. Total sample was 62 employees working in a private company in Rayong province. The sample was divided into two groups: 31 experimental group and 31 comparison group. The health promotion program for the experimental group included predisposing factors which were health education programs providing continuous knowledge and advice through the application LINE; enabling factors which were the improvement of the fitness room, the medias about health behavior change, the arrangement of healthy food and drink menu, giving out the pedometers; reinforcing factors which were the personal health record books, weekly weighing to assess health status, collecting health behavior scores, compliments, contest and award. The comparison group was trained according to the program provided by the company. The period for the test was 13 weeks. Data was collected using questionnaires. The result was measured before and after the experiment. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze general data. Paired sample t-test was used for comparative analysis and Independent sample t-test at the 0.05 level of significance.
The results showed that after the implementation, the experimental group’s average score in the aspects of attitude towards health behavior change, environment which supports health behavior change, positive reinforcement in health behavior change, health behavior in diet control and exercise behaviors was higher than before the test and higher than the comparison group with statistically significant (p<0.05). Body index mass was more reduced than before the test and higher than the comparison group with statistically significant (p<0.05). The programs can then be adapted to everyday life of employees in the workplaces, suitable for society and culture in the organization resulting in continuity and sustainability, which is a primary prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases.
