Several studies have shown health coaching to be effective in improving various aspects of health. One study on Type 2 diabetes concludes that after six months, individuals who were coached showed improvement in medication adherence another showed a reduction in medication. Coaching had a positive effect on patients' knowledge, skill, self-efficacy and behaviour change while a non-coached control group did not show any improvement. Additionally, coached participants with a hemaglobin A1C over 7% showed significant improvement in A1C.<\/p>\n
A study on coronary heart disease indicated that patients in a coaching program achieved a significantly greater change in total cholesterol than the non-coached patients, with a considerable reduction in LDL-C. Those involved in the coaching program showed improvements in secondary outcomes such as weight loss, increased exercise, improved quality of life, less anxiety, and improvement in overall health and mood.<\/p>\n
Another study shows that coaching is an effective program for assisting individuals with self-efficacy and weight loss. Confidence to lose weight increased from a baseline of 60% to 71% at three months, 76% at 6 months and 79% at 12 months. The average body mass index significantly decreased during this interactive coaching study. Average baseline was 32.1%, and then documented at 3 months (31.4%), 6 months (31.0%), and 12 months (30.6%).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
