Filter by:Female participants with weight and shape concerns will either receive a six-week meaning-centered intervention led by a trainer or be allocated to a waitlist condition. They will receive the same questionnaires at three time points: Before the intervention, immediately after, and four weeks later. The researchers hypothesize that a meaning-centered intervention for young women with weight and shape issues will increase participants meaning in life and decrease their eating disorder symptoms immediately after the intervention and at 4-week follow-up when compared to a waitlist condition.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of nutritional intervention in eating disorders. Participants underwent an intervention without a control group over 8 weeks. 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.
Feeding problems such as selective eating, loss of appetite, and mealtime behavior problems are common in childhood. Parents play a primary role in learning about feeding, and difficulties experienced in this process may cause the parent to experience stress, despair and exhibit incorrect attitudes. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of online occupational therapy group training for mothers on mothers' attitudes and stress levels, and children's eating behaviors. Mothers of children aged 3-6 years with feeding problems (n=29) were randomly divided into groups. Early Childhood Adaptive Eating Behavior Scale, Feeding Process Mother Attitudes Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scales were used for evaluation. The mothers in the research group participated in the 4-week training. As a result of the research, positive effects were found on mothers' attitudes and children's eating behaviors (p<0.05). There was no change in mothers' state and trait anxiety levels (p>0.05). This study shows that online group training to mothers can support existing therapies and guides clinicians working in the field.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GGTCA-AD to decrease the maladaptive beliefs associated with eating disorders (ED) in non-clinical adolescent population. Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with parallel design and two groups (experimental and control) will be carried out in adolescents aged 13-15 years to assess the changes pre and post use of the app. It is expected that after the use of the GGTCA-AD app for 14 days, at the primary level, a: decrease in the degree of ascription to dysfunctional beliefs associated with ED; and at the secondary level: increase in body satisfaction and self-esteem; decrease in eating symptomatology; and no changes in emotional symptomatology. These results are also expected to be maintained in subsequent follow-up at 1 month.
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.
The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of the breastfeeding support system to increase sucking success in premature infants receiving care in the NICU and breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers. In the study, the experimental and control groups will be determined by randomization of premature babies hospitalized in the NICU. While the babies in the control group will be fed with the routine feeding method (bottle) of the NICU, the babies in the experimental group will be fed with the breastfeeding support system by their mother. Research data will be collected using the Premature Baby and Its Mother Information Form, Premature Baby Follow-up Form, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Scale and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form.
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
This observational study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of a new infant feeding tool called "SMART Tool" in the neonatal intensive care unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To design a feeding tool to assess oral motor and neurobehavioral skills in neonates 2. To establish psychometrics of the new tool by doing reliability and validity tests.
This study investigated the short-term effects of fruit juice enriched with Vitamin D3 or n-3 PUFA or probiotics and the combination of the three ingredients on glucose metabolism.
