ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Body image disturbance is a key characteristic of anorexia nervosa (AN); however, research into these difficulties among adolescents with AN is limited and is yet to assess the best treatments for this population.METHODS:
Fifty-two adolescents receiving inpatient treatment for AN attended Teen BodyWise, an eight-session body image group adapted for adolescents. Measures assessing shape and weight concerns, ability to discuss body image, sociocultural attitudes, body avoidance, body checking, and motivation were given before and after the group, and participant feedback was elicited.RESULTS:
Significant improvements were found for shape and weight concerns, ability to discuss body image, body checking and sociocultural attitudes. Participants were generally satisfied with the group and found it helpful, yet some aspects were experienced as challenging.CONCLUSIONS:
Teen BodyWise has potential benefits for adolescents with AN. Controlled research is needed to determine the effectiveness of Teen BodyWise. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention, such as case studies, Level IV.Palavras-chave
