Employees' Expectations of Internet-Based, Workplace Interventions Promoting the Mediterranean Diet: A Qualitative Study.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Explore employees' perceptions of ability to follow the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), preferences for setting goals if asked to follow the MedDiet, and expectations of an Internet-based, workplace MedDiet intervention. DESIGN:Seven focus groups to guide intervention development. SETTING:Four workplaces (business/professional services, government branches) in Southwest England. PARTICIPANTS:Employees (n = 29, 51.7% women), ages 24-58 years. PHENOMENON OF INTEREST:Ability to follow the MedDiet; preferences for goal-setting if asked to follow the MedDiet; intervention content. ANALYSIS:Data were analyzed with the use of thematic analysis. RESULTS:Participants perceived that adhering to some MedDiet recommendations would be challenging and highlighted cost, taste, and cooking skills as adherence barriers. Behavior change preferences included a tailored approach to goal-setting, reviewing goal progress via a website/smartphone app, and receiving expert feedback via an app/website/text/face-to-face session. Desirable features of an Internet-based MedDiet application included recipes, interactivity, nutritional information, shopping tips, cost-saving information, and a companion smartphone app. Engaging in social support was deemed important to facilitate adherence. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:An Internet-based, workplace MedDiet intervention should address adherence barriers, utilize a tailored approach to setting and reviewing goals, and activate social support to facilitate adherence. These findings provide insights to planning to promote the MedDiet in non-Mediterranean regions.
