Perspectives and Experiences of Adult Patients With Obesity in Dietetic Primary Health Care: A Qualitative Study in the Netherlands
This study highlights that successful dietetic treatment for adults with obesity depends on personalised support, a strong patient-dietitian relationship, and holistic attention to psychological and behavioural factors. Clear communication, involvement from the start, and practical, tailored advice help patients comply with treatment and apply recommendations in daily life. Findings emphasise the importance of aligning dietetic treatment with individual patient needs and expectations.
