Recovery Process

Research about stigmatization in eating disorders (EDs) has highlighted stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination against people with EDs, as well as their harmful effects on them, including self-stigma and a difficult recovery process. Whereas a recent review focused on the consequences of ED stigma, our work aimed to provide a broader synthesis of ED stigma, including its consequences, but also its content and distribution. More precisely, we focused on three EDs—namely, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Based on a systematic search of four major databases in psychology, the present scoping review includes 46 studies published between 2004 and 2021. We did not conduct any quality assessment of the studies included, because our aim was to provide a wide-ranging overview of these topics instead of an appraisal of evidence answering a precise research question. The review confirmed the existence of a common ED stigma: all individuals affected by EDs reviewed here were perceived as responsible for their situation, and elicited negative emotions and social distance. However, our review also depicted a specific stigma content associated with each ED. In addition, the demographic characteristics of the stigmatizing individuals had a notable influence on the extent of ED stigma: men, young adults, and low-income individuals appeared to be the most stigmatizing toward individuals with EDs. It is important to note that ED stigma had a negative effect on individuals’ eating disorders, psychological wellbeing, and treatment-seeking behavior. There is an urgent need for further research on the adverse effects of ED stigma and its prevention.

This study aimed to explore the construct of recovery from anorexia nervosa through the medium of weblogs, focusing on the benefits and barriers to the recovery process. Data were extracted from female ( n = 7) and male ( n = 1) participants’ textual pro-recovery weblogs, all of which were posted between 2013 and 2015 in the public domain. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three superordinate themes were identified: (1) barriers to recovery, (2) factors increasing the likelihood of recovery and (3) support. Results suggest supportive relationships, regaining control and recognising the consequences of the eating disorder benefit recovery, whereas public perceptions, the anorexia nervosa voice and time act as barriers to recovery. Out of eight participants, four described seeking professional help as part of their recovery, of which three believed their professional therapy experience helped aid recovery. Implications for anorexia nervosa treatment are discussed in detail.

Additive Influence

Social comparison tendencies are strongly associated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. In the current study, we quantitatively examined the structure and predictive value of these constructs during eating disorder recovery. We revised an existing measure of body-, eating-, and exercise-related social comparisons, the Body, Eating, and Exercise Comparison Orientation Measure (BEECOM), to improve psychometric properties. We also assessed the psychometric properties of the shortened Body, Eating, and Exercise Comparison Orientation Measure-Revised (BEECOM-R) in a comparison sample, resulting in an abbreviated measure suitable for recovering, clinical, and non-clinical samples. Finally, we used the revised measure to examine the additive influence of body-, eating-, and exercise-related comparisons on shape and weight dissatisfaction and disordered eating cognitions among 150 women (ages of 18–35 years) in self-identified recovery. Results suggest that body-, eating-, and exercise-related social comparisons all continue to correlate with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating during recovery. A minority of participants reported these comparisons to be helpful during the recovery process. We recommend social comparison as a clinical target for most women seeking support for eating pathology.

Patients Perspective

Outcome research has not found a consistent definition of recovery from anorexia nervosa by consensus of experts, or by empirical validation. Therefore, medical criterion of recovery varies between studies and results are not comparable. This poster refers to a study of 44 participants treated for anorexia nervosa and who believe they have recovered. The purpose of this study is to reconceptualize recovery from patients’ perspective. The Free Association about Recovery – Questionnaire (FAR-Q) is a new tool by which to explore and understand the anorexic's account of recovery. Content analysis reveals four subjective definitions of recovery: (1). Return to the social normality; (2). Cohabit with eating disorder; (3). Self-acceptance; (4). Rebirth. This study assesses patients’ stages of recovery process and gives recommendations to health professionals.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Care Approach

Coordinated, multidisciplinary treatment for women with eating disorders is consistently recommended as maximally effective, but few studies have considered the patient experience. This qualitative study examined the experiences of women receiving such care in an outpatient setting. Using an interpretive description methodology, we conducted 12 in-depth interviews with participants who were diagnosed with an eating disorder and were receiving team-based treatment. Patients uniformly advocated for the coordinated, multidisciplinary treatment approach. Analysis of participants’ experiences yielded four categories: relying on the lifeline of communication, supporting autonomy, drawing on individual strengths, and valuing synergy. These findings build on previous research emphasizing the importance of autonomy support and connectedness in the recovery process from an eating disorder. Findings highlight the importance of nurses to support a multidisciplinary care approach to working with this patient population; these women’s voices also support a treatment approach that, despite being widely recommended, is vastly understudied and underutilized.

BACKGROUND: Eating disorders seriously affect both physical health and psychosocial functioning. Breaking the confines of an eating disorder requires engagement in a multifaceted recovery process. OBJECTIVE: This article provides a synthesis of 12 qualitative research studies with various eating disordered populations (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, eating disorder not otherwise specified, and other specified feeding and eating disorders) to elucidate the recovery process from the perspective of those who have overcome the disease. METHOD: A metasynthesis of qualitative studies was conducted using Noblit and Hare’s metaethnographic methodology. RESULTS: Five overarching themes emerged from the data: (1) the eating disorder as a life jacket, (2) drowning: recognizing consequences, (3) treading the surface: contemplating recovery, (4) swimming: the path toward recovery, and (5) reaching recovery: a sense of freedom. CONCLUSIONS: Eating disorder treatment often entails a cycle of transitions before recovery occurs. Synthesizing the experiences from the perspective of individuals who have overcome an eating disorder presents a unique understanding of the treatment and recovery process.

Traditional Medical Model

Purpose Person-centered care shifts the focus of treatment away from the traditional medical model and moves toward personal choice and autonomy for people receiving health services. Older adults remain a priority for person-centered care because they are more likely to have complex care needs than younger individuals. Even more specifically, the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders are often thought of in terms of setting-specific (i.e., acute care, skilled nursing, home health, etc.), but the management of dysphagia in older adults should be considered as a continuum of care from the intensive care unit to the outpatient multidisciplinary clinic. In order to establish a framework for the management of swallowing in older adults, clinicians must work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team using current evidence to guide clinical practice. Private practitioners must think critically not only about the interplay between the components of the evidence-based practice treatment triad but also about the broader impact of dysphagia on caregivers and families. The physical health and quality of life of both the caregiver and the person receiving care are interdependent. Conclusion Effective treatment includes consideration of not only the patient but also others, as caregivers play an important role in the recovery process of the patient with swallowing disorders.

Zusammenfassung.Die Klassifikation von Essstörungen steht im Zentrum aktuellen Forschungsinteresses. Gerade relativ rezente diagnostische Kategorien wie die Binge-Eating- oder Essanfallsstörung (Binge Eating Disorder, BED) und diagnostische Hauptmerkmale wie Essanfälle bedürfen im Zuge der Überarbeitungen des DSM einer Überprüfung. In dem vorliegenden Artikel werden zunächst die für das DSM-V vorgeschlagenen Veränderungen der diagnostischen Kriterien der BED und anderer Essstörungen beschrieben. An­schließend wird das Essanfallsmerkmal der Größe der verzehrten Nahrungsmenge in einer Forschungsübersicht hinsichtlich seiner klinischen Relevanz für die BED betrachtet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sowohl objektive als auch subjektive Essanfälle psychopathologisch relevant sind. Jedoch sind objektive Essanfälle aufgrund ihrer Assoziation mit einem geringeren Behandlungserfolg, einer größeren residualen Symptomatik und vermehrten Rückfalltendenzen das vergleichsweise stringentere Erfolgskriterium in der Therapieerfolgsforschung der BED. Vor diesem Hintergrund erscheint es für die BED zentral, neben objektiven Essanfällen zusätzlich auch subjektive Essanfälle zu erfassen. Für das DSM-V wird empfohlen, ein Schema zu entwerfen, um das Auftreten und die Häufigkeit dieser Formen von Essanfällen für die BED sowie für andere klinische und subklinische Formen von Essanfällen systematisch zu erheben. Eine sorgfältige Erfassung der Essanfallsgröße in Studien zur Psychopathologie, zum Verlauf und zur Behandlung, wird es erlauben, die klinische Relevanz dieses Merkmals über das Essstörungsspektrum hinweg weiter zu klären.
