The purpose of this study was to develop a integrated obesity management program and measure the effects of the program on obesity, life style, dietary self-efficacy and exercise self-efficacy among obese elementary school children. The integrated obesity management program was provided for the experimental group of 4~6th grade elementary school students for 8 weeks. The program included obesity related health educations based on behavior modification and self-efficacy once a week, exercise classes three times a week. Method: There were 30 children with obesity in the experimental and 28 in the control groups. The collected data were analyzed by the 𝑥²-test, independent t-test and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: After 8weeks of participation in the program, the experimental group showed significantly lower body mass index (p<.01), percent body fat(p<.05) and obesity index(p<.01), significantly higher life style (p<.05)), dietary self-efficacy(p<.001), exercise self-efficacy(p<.05) than those in the control group. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that integrated obesity management program is effective nursing intervention for managing child obesity.

Hyperlipidermia were classified by hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. The program consisted of four parts according to their functions and contents. The first part explained the metabolism of lipids and defined the hyperchotesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. The second part is to assess the general health status such as body weight, obesity index, basal metabolic rate and total energy requirement by the input of age, sex, height, weight and degree of activity. This part also provides the Patient with menus lists and 1 day menu suitable to his weight, activity and the status of hyperlipidemia and offers the information for food selection, snacks, convenience foods, dine-out, behavioral modification, cooking methods, food exchange lists, and information on energy and nutrients of foods and drinks, and top 20 foods classified by nutrients. The third part is designed to investigate diet history of patient, that is, to find out his inappropriate dietary habit and give him some suggestions for appropriate dietary behavior. This part also offers on-line counseling and frequently asked Questions. The fourth part is evaluating their energy and nutrients intake by comparing with recommended dietary allowance for Koreans or standardized data for patient with hyperlipidemia.
