This study aims to provide the maximization of nutritional rehabilitation and support changes in the construction of food autonomy, through a food and nutritional intervention.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of GGTCA to decrease the maladaptive beliefs associated with eating disorders (ED) in non-clinical adult population. Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with crossover assignment design and two groups (experimental and control) will be carried out in adults aged 18-65 years to assess the changes pre and post use the app. It's expected that after the use of the GGTCA app for 15 days are, at the primary level: decrease in the degree of ascription to dysfunctional beliefs associated with ED; and at the secondary level: increase in self-esteem; decrease in eating symptomatology; and no changes in emotional symptomatology, since the pilot study did not find. These results are also expected to be maintained in subsequent follow-ups, at 15 days and a month after to finish the app in experimental group, and 15 days after to finish the app in control group.
Obesity is a global epidemic and a major contributor to some of the leading causes of death. Although research on overweight and obesity is constantly increasing, to date, in the Italian panorama, there is a lack of (A) rigorous psychological measurement tools of obesity-related constructs and (B) analysis of the relationships between constructs (and indicators) involved in the development and maintenance of overweight and obesity. The present study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the main questionnaires for the assessment of eating behaviors in 3 groups of subjects (1) the general population (control group); (2) subjects with obesity without a comorbid diagnosis of an eating disorder; (3) subjects with obesity and a comorbid diagnosis of an eating disorder.
Family-based treatment (FBT), a form of family therapy for eating disorders (ED) in young patients, has proven to be effective in numerous large-scale studies. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of the treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) in a 'real-world' setting in a specialized outpatient clinic in Helsinki, Finland. Fifty-two young female patients seen for treatment between June 2013 and December 2017 were included in the study. Demographic and treatment characteristics, weight, and ED symptoms before and after treatment are reported
Eating Disorders (EDs) are mental disorders with long recovery time and high mortality. Despite the importance and extensive research in the field, an effective treatment for EDs has yet to be found. In co-production with ED patients, clinicians, and technology experts a Serious Game called "Maze out" was developed and initially evaluated through a feasibility study. Maze out is an innovative first player tool focusing on improving self-efficacy, mutual understanding, and family functioning in adults with EDs. The game has been evaluated through a usability study. Study findings demonstrate that patients found Maze out easy to use, meaningful and fun. The usability study was thus a first step in developing and testing an evidence-based intervention to be implemented in the treatment repertoire of adolescents and adults with EDs. The present study is a Randomized Controlled Trial, whereby the investigators will explore the effectiveness of Maze out as an additional treatment to Treatment as Usual (TAU)
The current study aims to explore the efficacy of a text message based safety behavior fadinig intervention compared to an unhealthy behavior fading intervention for appearance concerns.
The "Healthy Sport Project" is an adapted program from the Body Project by prof Eric Stice, aiming to reduce body dissatisfaction and symptoms of disordered eating and eating disorders in adolescent elite athletes. This trial aim to evaluate the effect of the program using a one-arm pilot study design in 14 years age old athletes at a Norwegian Elite Sport Junior High School.
Aims of the study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ChildTalks+ intervention and to implement it in education and practice. By delivering the ChildTalks+ intervention, i.e. educating parents about the transgenerational transmission of the disorder, informing them about the impact on their children, strengthening their parenting competencies, supporting communication within the family and informing COPMI about their parents' mental disorder, listening to their needs and providing emotional and social support to the family, the investigators expect the following outcomes: improved family communication, including children's awareness of their parents' mental health problems, improved overall well-being of COPMI, heightened perceptions of parental competence, increased family protective factors, including strengthened social support, sustained over time. Part of the intervention consists of early identification of social-emotional problems in children and referral for further professional help. The research questions the investigators will focus on are: - What are the effects of the ChildTalks+ intervention in families where parents have a mental health disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible for therapists who treat patients with mental disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible in families where one parent has an eating disorder? - Should the ChildTalks+ intervention be modified for this group of families where parent has an eating disorders?
Mental health literacy (MHL) is necessary for the prevention, detection, and treatment of eating disorders, whereas the MHL about eating disorders is inadequate in China. Thus, the current study aimed to improve the MHL for eating disorders among Chinese adolescents via a brief online intervention.
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Eating Disorders (ED) are severe and persistent disturbances that are associated with significant harm. These two disorders have many clinical similarities, including craving and behavioral loss of control. Recently, craving for food has been described in newly abstinent patients with SUD. the aim of the study is to verify the hypothesis of addiction transfer based on common neurobiological mechanisms between substance craving and food craving, that postulates that food craving would correspond to an attempt to regulate substance craving (or vice versa).
