Disordered Eating Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Nutritional Counseling Based on Self-compassion vs. Diet Approach on Body Dissatisfaction, Food Restriction, and Disordered Eating in Adult Women
Current evidence has shown that the accepted standard of beauty, where women must be skinny, has increased body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. In order to deal with body dissatisfaction, the practice of restrictive diets - called the diet approach - becomes very often, although it can reinforce disordered eating and has questionable effects on body dissatisfaction. Self-compassion is an approach that proposes a kind and gentle look at body image issues and eating problems, which can be an alternative tool to deal with them. So, this study aims to compare a nutritional approach based on self-compassion techniques x a diet approach on dissatisfaction with body image, food restriction, and disordered eating in women who feel dissatisfied with their bodies.

Primary | Body dissatisfaction | Dissatisfaction with body image will be assessed using the Body Shape Questionnaire.(BSQ) to identify concerns about body shape and self-deprecation related to physical shape.It has 34 questions related to body image, labeled from 1 to 6, with 1-never, 2-rarely, 3-Sometimes, 4-Frequently, 5-Very often, and 6-Always. The result is obtained by adding all the scores. The minimum score obtained is 34 points, and the maximum is 204. A rating below 80 points considers that the individual has no dissatisfaction; between 80 and 110, there is mild dissatisfaction; between 111 and 140, moderate dissatisfaction; and more than 140, severe dissatisfaction. | Baseline and after 8 weeks. | |
Primary | Disordered eating | Disordered eating will be measured using The three-factor eating questionnaire - R21 (TFEQ-R21), where three dimensions of eating behavior are evaluated: cognitive restriction, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating. The higher the score obtained, the more dysfunctional the behavior. A rating below 80 points considers that the individual has no dissatisfaction; between 80 and 110, there is mild dissatisfaction; between 111 and 140, moderate; and more than 140, severe dissatisfaction. | Baseline and after 8 weeks. | |
Secondary | Self-compassion | This outcome will be evaluated through the Self-compassion scale, developed to measure self-compassion in three components: self-judgment versus self-kindness, sense of isolation versus common humanity, and overidentification versus mindfulness.The items are grouped into six subscales: Self-kindness (items 5, 12, 19, 23, 26); Self-judgment (items 1, 8, 11, 16, 21); Common Humanity (items 3, 7, 10, 15); Insulation (items 4, 13, 18, 25); Mindfulness (items 9, 14, 17, 22) and Over-identification (items 2, 6, 20, 24). Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Almost never; 5 = Almost always). The total score is obtained by adding the scores for all 21 items. Higher scores mean more self-compassion. | Baseline and after 8 weeks. |
