Abstract

Objective

Temperament-Based Treatment with Supports (TBT-S) is an intensive treatment for patients with eating disorders (EDs) integrating neurobiological insights and family dimensions with the involvement of supports. Previous studies report high acceptability among both patients and their supports, and improvements in clinical outcomes and family functioning. The present study investigated acceptability and short-term outcomes of TBT-S intervention as adjunctive to ongoing, specialised treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) in late adolescent and young adult patients and their supports.

Method

Thirty-two patients (mean age = 21.44, SD = 4.72), 29 mothers, and 22 fathers participated in eight TBT-S interventions in Greece. ED symptomatology, patients' and supports' psychological distress, and supports' emotional and behavioural responses were assessed immediately before and after participation in TBT-S intervention. Also, acceptability of TBT-S intervention was assessed.

Results

TBT-S intervention was found to be highly acceptable among patients and their supports. Patients reported significant reductions in ED restraint symptomatology and depression. Mothers displayed significant reductions in depression, stress, criticism, and accommodating and enabling behaviours. Conversely, fathers displayed significant increases in depression and anxiety.

Conclusions

TBT-S intervention demonstrated high acceptability among patients and supports, and was associated with several short-term outcomes as adjunctive to ongoing treatment for AN.

希腊神经性厌食症4天气质支持治疗（TBT-S）干预的可接受性和短期结果

目的：以气质为基础的支持治疗（TBT-S）是一种结合神经生物学见解和家庭维度以及支持参与的进食障碍患者强化治疗方法。先前的研究报告了患者及其支持的高可接受性，以及临床结果和家庭功能的改善。本研究调查了TBT-S干预作为青少年晚期和年轻成人神经性厌食症（AN）持续专业治疗的辅助治疗的可接受性和短期结果及其支持。方法：希腊32例患者（平均年龄21.44岁，SD = 4.72）， 29例母亲和22例父亲参与了8项TBT-S干预。在参与TBT-S干预前后立即评估ED症状学、患者和支持者的心理困扰以及支持者的情绪和行为反应。同时评估TBT-S干预的可接受性。结果：患者及其支持人员对TBT-S干预的接受程度较高。患者报告ED约束症状和抑郁显著减少。母亲们表现出抑郁、压力、批评、包容和支持行为的显著减少。相反，父亲的抑郁和焦虑程度显著增加。结论：TBT-S干预在患者和支持者中表现出很高的可接受性，并且作为AN持续治疗的辅助，与几个短期结果相关。
