ABSTRACT

Objective

This pilot study evaluated group skills training for parents of adolescents with anorexia nervosa, an adjunct to family-based treatment (FBT).

Method

Training was provided in two formats (six weekly sessions or a two-day intensive) to 22 parents who were in any way engaged with FBT with their child and had been referred from public and private services providing eating disorder treatment to young people. Program feedback, perceived outcomes of the group, and parental wellbeing were assessed using self-report. Child height and weight were also collected. Data were collected at pre- and post-intervention and 3-month follow-up.

Results

The training was rated as being very helpful and relevant. It resulted in significant perceived improvements in understanding, knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing eating/the eating disorder. No changes in parent wellbeing or child body mass index were found.

Conclusion

Parent group skills training improves understanding, knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing eating/the eating disorder. An intensive format of delivery seems as feasible as the per protocol weekly sessions.

青少年神经性厌食症家长的集体技能培训：试点评估

摘要

客观的

这项试点研究评估了对患有神经性厌食症的青少年父母的团体技能培训，这是家庭治疗 (FBT) 的一种辅助手段。

方法

以两种形式（每周六次或两天强化）向 22 名父母提供培训，他们以任何方式与孩子一起参与 FBT，并从为年轻人提供饮食失调治疗的公共和私人服务机构转介。使用自我报告评估计划反馈、小组的感知结果和父母的幸福感。还收集了儿童的身高和体重。在干预前和干预后以及 3 个月的随访中收集数据。

结果

培训被评为非常有帮助和相关性。它导致在管理饮食/饮食失调的理解、知识、技能和信心方面显着提高。没有发现父母幸福感或儿童体重指数的变化。

结论

家长小组技能培训提高了管理饮食/饮食失调的理解、知识、技能和信心。密集的交付形式似乎与按协议每周会议一样可行。
