Adherence
Therapeutic Patient Education (TPS) and motivational interviewing using the '5A' method (Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) are the foundational, first-line interventions for obesity management in primary care, superior to generic advice.
Stop telling patients to just 'eat less and move more.' Instead, use the '5A' framework: Assess their readiness, Advise on risks/benefits, Agree on SMART goals, Assist with barriers, and Arrange follow-up. Focus on empathy and reducing stigma to build trust.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
L’éducation thérapeutique du patient (ETP) constitue la pierre angulaire du traitement de l’obésité. [...] La consigne « manger moins, bouger plus » est non seulement inefficace, mais elle peut également être contre-productive et stigmatisante.
Why this rating
Based on clinical guidelines and consensus statements (Refs 7, 13) cited in the review, though not a primary RCT itself.
