Personalized Nutrition Coaching for a Weight Loss Program Among Overweight and Obese Nurses
Indonesia44 participantsStarted 2026-01-19
Plain-language summary
Obesity among healthcare workers has become an increasing public health concern, with potential consequences for work productivity, quality of care, and long-term health outcomes. Despite their role in promoting health, healthcare workers often face demanding schedules, high stress levels, and limited access to structured health promotion programs, placing them at elevated risk for overweight and obesity. In the absence of targeted workplace interventions, these conditions may persist and worsen over time, highlighting the need for effective, sustainable, and context-specific strategies to support healthier lifestyles among healthcare workers.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of personalized nutrition coaching as part of a weight loss program for Nurses in Indonesian Hospital. Participants who receive the intervention are expected to demonstrate improvements in nutritional status, including weight-related outcomes, reduction in body fat percentage, reduction in waist circumference. The intervention is also anticipated to promote healthier dietary intake, characterized by more balanced eating patterns, and higher levels of physical activity. Delivered through individualized online guidance, this program is intended to encourage sustainable lifestyle changes and improve overall health. The study will involve an 8-week intervention conducted among overweight and obese healthcare workers at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial focuses specifically on overweight and obese nurses — since it targets healthcare workers as a group, would my own occupation or daily work schedule affect whether this kind of personalized nutrition coaching approach would realistically work for me?
2The trial is listed as 'active, not recruiting,' which means they're no longer taking new participants — are there similar personalized nutrition coaching studies or programs currently enrolling that my doctor could point me toward?
3The main thing being measured here is body weight, so would my doctor expect any meaningful difference in outcomes — like metabolic health, blood pressure, or physical fitness — that aren't being tracked as primary goals in this study?
4Since this is a Phase NA trial focused on nutrition coaching rather than a drug or device, what does my doctor think about how strong the evidence from this kind of study typically is, and how it compares to existing clinical guidelines for weight management?
5Given that low physical activity level is one of the conditions this trial targets, should I be discussing my current activity level with my doctor before considering any weight loss program like this, to make sure the approach is appropriate for my specific situation?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
