Association between social support for mothers of patients with eating disorders and mothers' active listening attitude: a cohort study.
Background: Family members of patients with eating disorders, especially their mothers, experience heavy caregiving burdens associated with supporting the patient. We predict that increasing caregivers' support will have a positive effect on their active listening attitudes, mental health, loneliness, and self-efficacy. This study aimed to investigate differences in mothers' active listening attitudes, mental health, loneliness, and self-efficacy improvements between mothers who did and did not experience increased perceived social support.
Main body: Participants were mothers of patients with eating disorders. Questionnaires for this cohort study were sent to the participants' homes at three time points (baseline, 9 months, and 18 months). The Japanese version of the Social Provision Scale (SPS-10) was used to evaluate social support, the Active Listening Attitude Scale (ALAS) for listening attitude, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS) for loneliness, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) for self-efficacy, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) for depression symptoms, and the K6 for psychological distress. An unpaired t-test was used to determine whether participants' status differed between the groups that did and did not experience increased perceived social support. The mean age of the participants was 55.1 ± 6.7 (mean ± SD) years. The duration of their children's eating disorders was 7.6 ± 5.5 years. The degree of improvement for each variable (active listening attitude, loneliness, self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and mental health) was the difference in each score (ALAS, ULS, GSES, BDI-II, and K6) from T1 to T3. The degree of improvement in active listening attitude and loneliness was significantly greater in the improved social support group than in the non-improved social support group (p < 0.002 and p < 0.012, respectively).
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that increasing mothers' perceptions of social support will be associated with improving their active listening attitudes and loneliness.
