Background: Obesity represents a major global health concern, significantly affecting individuals' quality of life. Transforming self-care practices among individuals with obesity necessitates innovative strategies to overcome challenges related to weight management and lifestyle modifications. Aims: This research seeks to assess the effectiveness of audiovisual media as an intervention for enhancing self-care, improving quality of life, and reducing body mass index (BMI) among individuals with obesity. Methods: This research employs a mixed-method approach with a quasi-experimental design to quantitatively examine changes in self-care behavior and a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore participants' experiences. The study sample consisted of 100 people (intervention group: 50, control: 50) for quantitative analysis, as well as 10 people from the intervention group for in-depth interviews. The intervention group engaged with interactive audiovisual media focused on diet management, physical activity, and psychosocial support over an 8-week period, while the control group received only written educational materials. Pre- and post-intervention measurements were conducted using the Self-Care Obesity Scale questionnaire, standard BMI measurement tools, and a qualitative interview guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests, while qualitative data were processed through thematic analysis. Results: The findings revealed that the intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in BMI compared to the control group (p<0.001), along with a substantial increase in self-care scores (p<0.001) and notable improvements in quality of life (p<0.001). Qualitative insights highlighted that audiovisual media facilitated better comprehension of information and boosted motivation among participants, although some struggled with maintaining consistency. Additionally, the use of this media was reported to positively influence both physical and mental well-being. Conclusion: This study concludes that audiovisual media represents an innovative and effective method for enhancing self-care, reducing BMI, and improving the quality of life among individuals with obesity. This approach holds significant potential for incorporation into future health promotion initiatives. The integration of audiovisual tools into health promotion programs is recommended for broader application in community and clinical settings.
