Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 護理學研究所 === 82 === The purpose of this study is to understand the present condition and explore the relate factors for the behavior of body-weight control of obese adults. The subjects of 152 obese adults come from a technology company. The data were collected through the structured questionnaire and face to face interview. The results are as followed:1)The prevalence rate of obesity in that company was 13.6%. Most individuals had strong intention of body-weight control, but some were less aggressive and about one-third of the samples adapted the method of external-adjust in the last one year. 2)The benefit of body-weight control, the threat of obesity to personal image and the frequency of previons weight reduction can explain for 32% variance of intention of body-weight control. 3)The frequency of previous weight reduction, the benefit of body-weight control, food accesibility and education level can explain for 21% variance of aggressiveness of body-weight control. 4)The differences in method of weight control was related to benefit of body- weight cotrol, the threat of obesity to personal image, social pressure situation, and some of characteristic variables. in addition the prediction model can be established by discriminate analysis. This study suggests the health-promting body-weight control should be considered as a long-term fow- up course, and a team of health professionals should be involed. Nursing staffs and the health-relating desciplines should emphase the meanings of the influencing factors of intention of body-weight control. Mean while, they should provide complete and correct recognition of weight control, explore the effect of previous weight reduction, assist the client to face the obstracle of doing weight control and develop intervention. And they should be aware of the effect of variance of psycho-social and characteristics on choosing the method for practising weigh control.
