Supporting Carers of Children & Adolescents With Eating Disorders in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the "Supporting Carers of Children and Adolescents with Eating Disorders in Austria" (SUCCEAT) - study is to compare Workshop, Internet-based and Conventional Parental Support Groups for carers of chilren and adolescents between 10 and 18 years in a randomized controlled trial for the first time in Austria.

Clinical Trial Description

According to NICE guidelines, eating disordered patients should be managed on an outpatient basis. This challenge seems to put a heavy burden on most caregivers. Schmidt and Treasure (2006) argued that obsessive compulsive personality traits, emotional avoidance, pro-anorectic beliefs and responses of close others like dysfunctional communication styles impair the outcome. The construct of expressed emotions reflects on the amount of criticism, hostility and emotional over-involvement expressed by relatives of psychiatric patients towards them. A special program for parents is developed to equip caregivers with knowledge and skills to change maintaining factors and therefore improve the patient's outcome. Furthermore coping strategies are provided to help carers to reduce their burden. We start a randomized controlled trial comparing two interventions with a conventional group. We compare Workshops (Intervention Group 1), Internet-based (Intervention Group 2) and Conventional (Control Group) Carers´ Support Groups. Before starting the intervention (T0, baseline), at the end of the intervention (T1) and 1 year after the intervention (T2, follow up) assessments will be conducted via questionnaires and interviews. Parents of 48 children and adolescents within the age group of 10-17 years suffering from anorexia or bulimia nervosa will be involved in each group, resulting in an overall sample size of 144. The investigators aim is to equip parents with knowledge and skills in order to support their children's recovery, prevent relapse and improve their own wellbeing. The long term goal is to provide low-threshold, cost-effective, time-efficient and superregional support for parents in the future. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
