dc.description.abstractObjective: To evaluate the effect of nutrition education supported by MOtiVE mobile application on weight loss and quality of life (QoL). Methods: In this pilot randomized-controlled study, 79 overweight/obese patients who presented to University Hospital between MarchSeptember 2018 to consult a dietitian, were included. All the participants were provided with a weight-loss diet program. Then, participants were randomized to experimental and control groups. During the first interview, all participants completed the questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were done. BMI, the scores obtained from different QoL scales, and Healthy Eating Index (HEI) were the dependent variables. Daily messages were sent to cases for 3 months via MOtiVE mobile application. All the participants were asked to be present three months later for a follow-up appointment. Using SPSS 25.0, change in BMI, QoL scores, and other variables within both groups were assessed via Wilcoxon signed-rank test and McNemar chi-square test. Results: 20 cases and 18 controls completed the study. The mean BMI decreased significantly in both groups being more predominant in cases (p=.001 for cases and p=.006 for controls). Waist circumference decreased (p=.029), self-esteem (p=.035) and healthy eating scores (p=.007) increased only in cases. Hence there were significant improvements in cases, in the final evaluation, there were no significant differences between the groups (p>.05) Conclusion: Nutrition education supported by MOtiVE mobile application improved anthropometric measurements, self-esteem, quality of life, and healthy eating habits of the overweight/obese participants. Free mobile applications can be used in increasing motivation to adopt new behaviors to tackle obesity.
