Metallierung von Pyridylmetallocenen durch Platin(II), Gold(III), Quecksilber(II) und Iridium(III)

Weight management is a game of chance for most children and young people, and is dependent on service availability and the expertise of the provider. Many localities are without established weight-management services, and the effectiveness of those provided is often not well-known. SHINE (Self Help, Independence, Nutrition and Exercise) is the only documented tier 3 community-based service provider in the UK. It offers a plethora of interventions tailored to each child or young person using a stepped-care approach (SCA) to treat severe obesity: as the severity of obesity increases, so does the intensity of intervention. This article describes an SCA and uses this model to demonstrate a range of appropriate, available interventions. A SCA can provide a holistic and integrative care pathway for children and young people with severe obesity when implemented at tier 3

Psychosocial Interventions in the Treatment of Severe Adolescent Obesity: The SHINE Programme

Purpose: Psychosocial Interventions (PSI) are characterised by three phases: 1) an initial in-depth assessment, 2) an intensive multifaceted intervention to stem a condition, and 3) an extensive maintenance programme. PSIs are often used for treatment of mental health conditions, however applicability in the treatment of adolescent obesity is unknown. This paper sought to evaluate the service-level outcomes of a PSI for young people (aged 10-17) with severe obesity. Methods: A retrospective evaluation of participants attending the SHINE programme between 2011-2016 (n = 435; Age: 13.1±2.1 years, Male: 51%, White: 87.4%, BMI: 33.5±7.5 kg/m2, BMI SDS: 3.1±0.5 units). Anthropometric measurements (BMI and WC) were collected at baseline, 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months. Psychosocial measures (anxiety, depression, and self-esteem) were collected at baseline and 3 months. Participant retention was also assessed. Results: After 3 months, 95% of participants remained with a mean BMI SDS reduction of 0.19 units (95% CI: 0.17, 0.21). Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem improved by 50%, 54% and 38% respectively. BMI SDS reductions of 0.29, 0.35 and 0.41 were found at 6-, 9-, and 12- months. Fifty-four percent of participants chose to attend the final intervention phase. A higher baseline BMI SDS and a greater reduction in BMI SDS predicted final intervention phase attendance. Conclusion: The SHINE PSI demonstrated positive mean reductions in all measurements across all time points. In contrast to other community-based weight management services, these results suggest the utility of, and further exploration of, PSIs in the treatment of severe adolescent obesity
