Self-esteem group is a novel, manualised group programme designed for adolescent inpatients
with eating disorders.
Research questions:
Does the self-esteem group improve self-esteem in adolescent inpatients with eating
disorders? Are any changes in self-esteem maintained at 4 week follow-up after the group?
Does eating disorder psychopathology improve more during admission for those who complete the
self-esteem group compared to those who do not complete the group?
Background:
Low self-esteem has been established as a strong predictor of onset, maintenance and relapse
in eating disorders. For patients with low self-esteem, change can be particularly difficult
to achieve. The intensity of their low self-esteem leads them to strive to control their
eating, weight and shape to gain a sense of self-worth and the pervasive negative view of
themselves results in them seeing little or no prospect of recovery. This suggests treatment
of low self-esteem is clinically and financially important. Studies have shown cognitive
behavioural based group therapies improve self esteem in adults with eating disordersÍž
however research including adolescents is limited. This research will contribute to the
evidence base for self-esteem interventions in adolescents and inform the effectiveness of a
new treatment. The research will be funded by Newbridge House, an inpatient unit for children
and adolescents with eating disorders.
Design:
Inpatients at Newbridge House aged 11 - 18, fulfilling DSM-V criteria for an eating disorder
will be recruited.Participants will be randomly allocated to a case or control group. Cases
will receive the 6 week self-esteem group in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) and will be
compared with controls who receive TAU. Both groups will complete a questionnaire pre-group,
post-group and 4 weeks post-group. Admission and discharge questionnaires routinely collected
will be examined to assess change in eating disorder psychopathology.
