摘要
功能欣赏和身体同情是得到经验支持的概念,可以帮助人们以不同和同情的方式看待自己的身体。然而,它们尚未被应用于饮食失调症(ED)样本,因此,在这一人群中探索其感知到的益处、风险和细微差别非常重要。我们对治疗提供者、有进食障碍生活经历或身体形象困扰史的人进行了半结构化访谈(N = 25)。访谈内容包括实用性、适用性、潜在风险、益处以及所需的授课形式。采用了主题分析法。参与者表示,同情和功能性方法非常有用,是对现有治疗方法的补充,对于早期干预非常重要。尽管他们认为这种方法是安全的,但也指出了针对 ED 样本的注意事项,包括在适当的时候(如病情稳定时)引入内容,以及在具有认知灵活性时以不同的方式思考自己的身体。例如,对功能的欣赏可能会引发对自己身体所不能做的事情的思考,而同情则可能使消极的想法正常化。这两个概念都被认为是在社区层面支持积极身体形象的有用和安全的方法,可以在额外支持下用于 ED 样本。潜在用户的这种见解有助于共同设计适当的内容。
A qualitative analysis of the usefulness, risks, and challenges of incorporating functionality and body compassion into the prevention and treatment of eating disorders
Functionality appreciation and body compassion are empirically supported concepts that can help one to view their body in different and compassionate ways. However, they have yet to be applied to eating disorder (ED) samples and therefore it is important to explore the perceived benefit, risk, and nuance in this population. Semi-structured interviews (N = 25) were conducted with treatment providers, those with a lived experience of an ED, or history of body image distress. Usefulness, applicability, potential risks, benefits, and desired delivery format were probed. Thematic analysis was used. Participants reported that compassion and functionality approaches were useful, complement existing treatment approaches, and important for early intervention. Although considered safe, caveats were noted for ED samples, including introducing content at the right time (e.g., when medically stable), and when having the cognitive flexibility to think about one’s body in different ways. For example, functionality appreciation could trigger thoughts about what one's body cannot do while compassion may allow for normalising negative thoughts. Both concepts were viewed as useful and safe to support positive body image at a community level and can be used with ED samples with additional support. This insight from potential users helps with co-design of appropriate content.
期刊介绍:
Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
