Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and paired t-test. The significant level was α.05. No statistic significant differences were showed on demographics and disease characteristics between experimental group and control group.
The result indicated that after 10-week Weight Control Program intervention, the amount of the experiment group showed significant difference between pre- and postexperiment (p<.05). The conclusion of this study showed that 10-week weight control program intervention improved the obese Chronic Psychotic Patients’BMI, percentage of body fat, waist circumference, dietary behavior, dietary cognition.
