Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This innovative project aims to develop, implement and evaluate psychosocial interventions to remediate the effects of obesity stereotypes on severely obese patients. Its aim is to improve their sense of self-efficacy, a factor recognized as an antecedent of behavioral and attitudinal changes that contribute to improving their quality of social life and health status. To this end, this project proposes to integrate a psychosocial approach into the therapeutic patient education (TPE) program at "Vie la Santé", an innovative health promotion platform at Poitiers University Hospital. A randomized study will be set up within the active file of patients referred by the Poitou-Charentes specialized obesity center and integrated into this therapeutic patient education (TPE) program. Patients randomized to the ETP-STEREOBES experimental cohort arm will participate for 12 months in obesity-specific APA workshops, on the one hand, and in workshops based on "social well-being" on the other, designed as part of this study. They will be assessed when they enter the program (T0), then at 3 months (T3), 6 months (T6), 12 months (T12) and finally 6 months later (T18). Assessments at T0, T12 and T18 will be compared with those of patients in the control group, made up of patients attending a specialized obesity center who are not included in the ETP-STEREOBES program.
The benefits of this study will be not only individual, but also collective and institutional, by providing the partners and beneficiaries of this research with operational and innovative knowledge, tools and practices contributing to the fight against discrimination, notably via a showcase website and the scientific dissemination of research findings.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
STEREOBES
This arm will follow a program developed specifically for this project. It will include specific workshops on obesity stigma issues which are not part of the standard program.
STEREOBES Workshops
These workshops are designed to help patients develop appropriate behaviors to deal with stigmatizing situations. They will focus on three main areas: adapted physical activities, nutrition and mental well-being. They will include sessions on developing self-esteem, improving body image and managing emotions. The aim will be to deconstruct the myths and stereotypes surrounding obesity.
CONTROL
This arm will follow the standard therapeutic patient education program proposed by "La Vie La Santé".
