Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of previously healthy adolescents, and their parents regarding anorexia nervosa (AN) outpatient treatment using the coaching family-based method (cFBM).
Method: A qualitative descriptive study design was used to collect data from adolescents (n=23), along with their parents, who had undergone family-based treatment for anorexia nervosa in primary care in 2022. Data consisted of open-ended questions and were analyzed using inductive content analysis.
Results: According to the adolescent's experiences, the cFBM helped with weight gain, but inadequate psychological treatment affected the durability of the results. Based on the parents' (n=13) experiences, cFBM practices guided facilitation of the treatment. Adolescents' suggestions for improving AN treatment were related to commitment and individualized treatment on the part of health care providers.
Discussion: The cFBM is useful, but attention should be paid to the therapeutic relationship and the continuity of somatic and psychological treatment.
