Abstract
Objective: People with eating disorders (EDs) often need intensive help from loved ones. The New Maudsley Collaborative Care Approach (NMCCA) skills-based training supports carers in this role. This study examined the effectiveness and feasibility of the NMCCA-training for carers in the Netherlands.
Methods: Participants were parents of 12-25-aged individuals with a (provisional) ED diagnosis. The training consisted of five online sessions in 6 weeks. Outcomes included carers' levels of confidence in ED-related caregiver skills, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and health-related quality of life. A paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests compared outcomes after to before the training. An Analysis of Covariance examined changes in ED-related caregiver skills confidence over time, controlling for baseline anxiety traits. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed using Visual Analogue Scales.
Results: Of the 37 carers who started the training, 33 completed both before and after training assessments. Carers evaluated the training as feasible and helpful, which was also reflected by a significant increase in ED-related caregiver skills confidence (staying robust when controlling for baseline anxiety traits).
Conclusions: Findings contribute to research showing the effectiveness of the NMCCA skills-based training, alongside showing its potential for improving ED-related caregiver skills in Dutch carers.
期刊介绍：
European Eating Disorders Review publishes authoritative and accessible articles, from all over the world, which review or report original research that has implications for the treatment and care of people with eating disorders, and articles which report innovations and experience in the clinical management of eating disorders. The journal focuses on implications for best practice in diagnosis and treatment. The journal also provides a forum for discussion of the causes and prevention of eating disorders, and related health policy. The aims of the journal are to offer a channel of communication between researchers, practitioners, administrators and policymakers who need to report and understand developments in the field of eating disorders.
