- Original description
This project proposes to integrate a psychosocial approach into the therapeutic patient education program (TPE) at "La Vie la Santé", an innovative health promotion platform at Poitiers University Hospital. A randomized study will be set up within the active file of patients referred by the specialized obesity center of Poitou-Charentes and integrated into this patient education program (TPE) program. Patients randomized to the TPE-STEREOBES experimental cohort arm will participate for 12 months in obesity-specific adapted physical activity workshops, on the one hand, and in workshops based on "social well-being" on the other, designed as part of this study. They will be assessed when they enter the program (T0), then at 3 months (T3), 6 months (T6), 12 months (T12) and finally 6 months later (T18). Assessments at T0, T12 and T18 will be compared with those of patients in the control group, made up of patients followed up at the specialized obesity center who were not included in the TPE-STEREOBES program.Read full original descriptionShow less
