Yeme bozukluklarında tedavi motivasyonu ve yordayıcıları

Abstract

Eating Disorders (ED) are one of the psychiatric problems that increasingly become prevalent and include serious health risks. Low treatment motivation is a common and prominent factor in the progress of ED and lately became the focus of many researches. Therefore evaluating the patients'treatment motivation and related factors before planning the treatment modality increase the efficiency of treatment. However studies including these factors are rare. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relations between treatment motivation symptom severity, body image and depression. The study was conducted with 75 ED women with using; SCID-I, Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, Photographic Figure Rating Scale, Anorexia Nervosa Stages of Change Questionnaire and Bulimia Nervosa Stages of Change Questionnaire. According to the results of this study, with the consistence of previous studies; increasing levels of eating disorders symptom severity, depression, body dissatisfaction were related with decreasing levels of treatment motivation in the patients with ED. The best predictor of treatment motivation was eating disorder symptom severity. These results suggest the value of evaluating the level of treatment motivation and related factors when planning ED treatment models focusing on symptom severity and body dissatisfaction.
