Filter by:MUMMIEBODIES is a research study when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. These are some condensed months that represent major challenges for this group. There are both a scientific and clinical basis for the mother's mental health to influence care and interaction with the child. In the case of eating disorders, there is also a risk of harmful consequences for the fetus as well as for more complicated pregnancies and births. This is a very important field of knowledge, but also a field about which there is far too little scientific knowledge. There is too little scientific knowledge about how women with eating disorders physically and mentally relate to their bodies and food during and after pregnancy. There is a great need for research that promotes expertise in how to help and meet women with eating disorders in these important phases of life. The aim of the study is to bring out the users' experiences. The investigators interview face-to-face pregnant women and mothers with eating disorders about their subjective experiences both during pregnancy and during childbirth. Recruitment of participants will be via health stations. The investigators will identify the course, experiences and solutions when women with eating disorders encounter pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. The investigators focus on three themes: 1) experience of course and change, 2) experience of emotional, cognitive and relational core experiences, and 3) women's own perceptions of what is the best help. The three themes have in common that they are fundamental for later development of help for this vulnerable group. The investigators have a clear idea that some of the best preventive work can be done before life really starts.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a wise intervention based on self-affirmation (SA) and Implicit Theories of Personality (ITP) building resilience in victims. Half of the participants will receive the experimental intervention, while the other half will receive a control intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of eating disorders in type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes patients
Since March 17, 2020, the French government has implemented national containment measures due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Quarantine is an unpleasant experience : Separation from relatives, loss of liberty, concern about the infectious status, boredom, can negatively affect mental health, with the emergence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. In addition, confinement can disrupt usual physical activity, a major destabilization criterion for patients suffering from eating disorders (ED). Finally, conditions of confinement can harm social support, yet identified as a protective and resilience factor in stress contexts. Thus, the current context of confinement and social distances could be source of an increase in eating behavior disorders symptoms in people suffering from ED.
A randomized blinded feasibility study using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire RFQ - as the main outcome to assess two interventions for eating disorders. Six experienced therapists, and their consecutively 8-9 admitted clients, were randomly allocated to the intervention group and control group. The sample included a total of 52 participants, all women, mean age 24.2 yrs. old. In the intervention group, participants received mentalization-based psychotherapy with ECOSA - a novel developed mentalization tool and in the control group, participants received interpersonal psychotherapy that focused on resolving interpersonal problems and symptomatic recovery. Four randomized samples for each participant were checked for therapy-focused fidelity by two different psychotherapists.
This proposed pilot study will evaluate whether this body acceptance class produces greater reductions in eating disorder risk factor symptoms (pursuit of the thin ideal, body dissatisfaction, dieting, dietary restraint and negative affect), eating disorder symptoms, and future onset of eating disorders over 6-month follow-up in this population.
Eating disorders are difficult to treat. Some forms of treatment have already been found to be effective, nevertheless chronicity is a major problem. For example, both cognitive behavioral therapy and family therapy (FBT; family-based treatment) appear to be effective treatment methods, in which FBT distinguishes itself primarily in its long-term effect. However, eating disorders persist in 20 to 25 percent of cases, only 46 percent of patients with Anorexia Nervosa fully recover and one third only partially improve. Since the mortality rate of this mental disorder is particularly high, it is necessary to keep looking to improve treatment. Because emotion regulation problems play an important role in the cause and maintenance of an eating disorder, more emotion-focused therapies may improve treatment outcome. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a treatment that has a strong focus on emotions regulation, but so far only limited evidence has been found for the effectiveness of this type of therapy in eating disorders. Some studies show that art therapy (AT; art therapy) can contribute to a more adaptive regulation of emotions. However, this type of therapy has not been studied in the context of eating disorders yet. AT is an experiential form of therapy in which art techniques and supplies (including drawing, painting, clay, etc.) are used methodically with a therapeutic purpose. The idea that creative expression can perpetuate or improve mental well-being has been accepted worldwide for many years. Despite the long history of practical applications, to date little evidence exist on the effectiveness of this form of treatment. There's growing worldwide interest in scientific research and the emphasis on evidence-based practice (EBP) for this form of treatment. In a recent study, Lock and colleagues compare AT with cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) and the added value of both in a sample of adolescents with anorexia nervosa combines with obsessive-compulsive problems. Both CRT and AT are offered in this study in combination with family based therapy (FBT). The group in which the combination of FBT and AT was offered yielded better results than those in which FBT is combined with CRT. Study hypothesis: the investigators expect that complementing treatment as usual (TAU) with art therapy (AT) will lead to a decrease in emotion regulation problems in patients with an eating disorder in comparison with TAU only, without AT.
Parents with eating disorders exhibit greater concerns and dilemmas about developing healthy habits in their children. Studies indicate that the offspring of parents with eating disorders have more developmental and interpersonal difficulties. Consequently, these parents should receive personalized care to enhance their parental capacity and support them in their decision making process. The Parent-Based Prevention of Eating Disorders (PBP) is a promising intervention that may help improve feeding and eating practices and children outcomes, by engaging both parents in a short-term program. This study aims to empirically evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of PBP over a wait-list control group (i.e., treatment-as-usual) in a Randomized Case Series Trial.
Online, guided self-help interventions have been used for weight-loss (WL), as well as for treatment of eating disorders (EDs), separately, but no program exists to manage these conditions together. To date, a combination ED and WL intervention has been piloted in adolescents who endorsed high-risk ED behavior and had overweight, and revealed moderate improvement in ED behavior and WL. Thus, the use of online intervention for ED psychopathology and WL in individuals with clinical and sub-clinical EDs is the next step. Given Dr. Wilfley's past expertise with ED and WL interventions, and particularly her involvement with online interventions for these issues her mentorship will support the carrying out of aims for this proposal. The goal of this proposal is to implement a program to reduce weight and shape concerns, reduce disordered eating symptoms such as binging and compensatory behaviors associated with binge-type EDs, while also reducing weight for college students with comorbid overweight/obesity. This project will pilot an online, guided self-help ED intervention that offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) based tools to improve ED symptoms, while also teaching them healthy methods of behavioral WL, for individuals with clinical/sub-clinical binge-type EDs with comorbid overweight/obesity in order to examine effectiveness compared to referral to Student Health Services for ED and WL concerns.
Obesity is a chronic disease. Its prevalence, which is constantly increasing, as well as the morbidity and mortality caused, require the development of new treatments, particularly for associated eating disorders. Indeed, it has been shown that a participation of abnormalities of food addiction type behaviour was frequently found in patients hospitalized for obesity (25% of patients). These disorders require specific management if you want to achieve a good weight result. The aim of the study is to compare the weight evolution of patients with addiction-type disorder (addict) versus those without addiction (non-addict) as well as the management modalities.
