Abstract

Background: As with most mental disorders, a strong perceiving factor in the development of anorexia nervosa is exposure to severe life adversities. The success of adaptation to life situations represents the psychological resilience of the individual and is a potentially important factor in the prevention and treatment of mental disorder. Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the association of psychological resilience and depression with the presence and intensity of anorexia symptoms, and to examine the nature of the relationship between these variables. Methods: The study was conducted on 68 participants (M age = 24.74; SD = 5.530), where the clinic group of 31 participants (M age 24.58 years; SD = 5.714) with anorexia nervosa was equivalently matched to the control group (n=37; M age 24.86; SD = 5.448) in regard to relevant sociodemographic factors. A structured questionnaire of sociodemographic data, treatment data and body mass index, EDI-2, CD-RISC and BDI-II were administered. Results: The study found that people with anorexia have a higher intensity of depression and significantly lower psychological resilience compared to the control group. People who experience a stronger intensity of eating disorder symptoms have lower psychological resilience. In addition, the results indicate that the symptom of eating disorders, ineffectiveness, is the strongest negative predictors of psychological resilience in people with anorexia. Conclusion: Our findings suggest an important role of psychological resilience in the anorexia prevention, and the process of recovering from it. Moreover, they support the need for the integration of psychological resilience to existing treatment plans and prevention activities.

神经性厌食症患者的心理恢复力与抑郁

背景：与大多数精神障碍一样，神经性厌食症发展的一个强烈感知因素是暴露在严重的生活逆境中。适应生活环境的成功代表了个人的心理韧性，是预防和治疗精神障碍的潜在重要因素。目的：本研究的目的是检验心理弹性和抑郁与厌食症症状的存在和强度的关系，并检验这些变量之间关系的性质。方法：该研究对68名参与者（男性年龄=24.74；SD=5.530）进行，其中31名患有神经性厌食症的参与者（女性年龄24.58岁；SD=5.714）的临床组与对照组（n=37；男性年龄24.86；SD=5.448）在相关社会人口学因素方面相当。对社会人口学数据、治疗数据和体重指数、EDI-2、CD-RISC和BDI-II进行结构化问卷调查。结果：研究发现，与对照组相比，厌食症患者的抑郁强度更高，心理弹性明显更低。饮食失调症状强度较大的人心理弹性较低。此外，研究结果表明，饮食失调症状无效是厌食症患者心理恢复力的最强负面预测因素。结论：我们的研究结果表明，心理韧性在厌食症的预防和康复过程中发挥着重要作用。此外，它们支持将心理韧性与现有的治疗计划和预防活动相结合的必要性。
