Abstract

Objective: Eating disorders (EDs), including binge eating disorders (BEDs), bulimia nervosa (BN) and anorexia nervosa (AN), can inflict adverse effects on well-being, daily functioning, and workplace performance, presenting significant occupational, social, and economic challenges. This systematic review seeks to explore the relationship between ED symptomatologies and their impacts on work performance.

Methods: This systematic review adhered to The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. Formal methods of critical appraisal for both qualitative and quantitative studies were utilized. Six studies were included.

Results: Participants across all studies (n = 20,367) exhibited heightened levels of presenteeism, absenteeism, work productivity impairment, and higher annual burden costs compared to their non-ED counterparts.

Conclusion: Impaired decision-making, cognitive inflexibility, and poor executive functioning significantly impact work participation and performance, underscoring the need for workplace policies that reduce stigma and stress, and calls for further research into how environmental factors and interventions affect ED recovery.

Level of evidence: Level I, systematic review.

饮食失调对有薪或无薪工作参与和绩效的影响：系统回顾。

目的：饮食失调（EDs），包括暴食症（BEDs）、神经性贪食症（BN）和神经性厌食症（AN），会对健康、日常功能和工作表现造成不利影响，对职业、社会和经济构成重大挑战。本系统综述旨在探讨ED症状及其对工作绩效的影响之间的关系。方法：本系统评价遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目。定性和定量研究都采用了正式的批判性评估方法。纳入了6项研究。结果：所有研究的参与者（n = 20,367）与非ed的参与者相比，出勤、缺勤、工作效率低下和年度负担成本更高。结论：决策障碍、认知不灵活和执行功能低下显著影响工作参与和绩效，强调需要制定减少耻辱感和压力的工作场所政策，并呼吁进一步研究环境因素和干预措施如何影响ED康复。证据等级：一级，系统评价。
