Official title: Behavioral Intervention to Promote Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

in this study to "the investigators aim to improve lifestyle behaviors through behavioral interventions. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. both groups will be asked to complete online survey before and after a 6 virtual session (twice weekly)

Read the detailed description

Participants were randomly assigned into two groups (motivational interviewing intervention or attention group), using a (1:1) computer-generated randomization program (www.graphpad.com).

motivational interviewing intervention: Each session contained a different component and topic that included substance abuse, physical activity, healthy sleep, stress management, nutrition and social support. The components in order were randomized for each participant. Interviews were conducted using a video meeting platform (Zoom Video Communications Inc., 2016); with both video and audio function enabled while, participants were giving the choice to refuse video calls should they desire. Alternative session delivery method, such as phone calls were used and documented based on participant request.

attention group: received the same amount of virtual session equivalent to MI form. However, the structure of the sessions consisted of brief advice to promote healthy lifestyle delivered by different therapists. The therapist firmly and clearly discussed general lifestyle health topics and provided educational materials during each session

    reported as the number of participants' consented divide by the number of people that were invited to participate

    Measured: immediately after the intervention

  2. retention rates - descriptive

    reported as the number of participants completing all study sessions

    Measured: immediately after the intervention

  3. session duration - descriptive

    reported as the average session time for intervention group or attention group

    Measured: immediately after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. physical activity and sedentary behavior - questionnaire

    measured via Global Physical Activity. physical activity level was calculated based on responses. sedentary behavior was reported as average sitting time per day.

    Measured: outcome measure was assessed at baseline and within 7 days from the last study session

  2. psychosocial distress - questionnaire

    via Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). score range from 10 to 50 and higher scores reflecting higher psychological distress

    Measured: outcome measure was assessed at baseline and within 7 days from the last study session

  3. sleep - questionnaire

    via Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). score ranges from 0 to 21. Poor sleepers have ≥ 5 scores as a cut-off global score

    Measured: outcome measure was assessed at baseline and within 7 days from the last study session

  4. dietary habits - questionnaire

    via food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). data reported as count

    Measured: outcome measure was assessed at baseline and within 7 days from the last study session

  5. social support - questionnaire

    via Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey. This tool contains 19 questions, and higher score indicates more social support

    Measured: outcome measure was assessed at baseline and within 7 days from the last study session
