| description | Abstract Childhood obesity is a public health problem, and most of the interventions are focused on healthy habits as reducing energy intake, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, and increasing physical activity. However, usually, they are based in individual programs, with few structured interventions in health systems without satisfactory results. PinPo aims to carry out an integral intervention in children with obesity, as well as in their parents and caregivers, to get motivation to change towards healthy lifestyle habits. The elaboration of the content, the graphic format, and the technological applications for each session have been designed by some of the professionals of the multidisciplinary team. The program contains 9 educational grupal sessions directed by a multidisciplinary expert team. 10 boys and girls, and another group with 10 family members and/or caregivers participate in sessions during 90 min biweekly. Moreover, there is an individual adaptation depending on the severity and comorbidities. At the beginning and at the end of the program, an integral evaluation for health status is developed, including anthropometric, nutritional, physical activity, and psychological and analytical measurements. Finally, a satisfaction survey is carried out on the participants. In conclusion, the implementation of PinPo could offer to pediatric patients with obesity and their families an integral intervention to treat obesity and its complications. So, there are expectations of achieving favorable results that also allow optimizing its effectiveness. |
