ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a negative reaction to the illness would be reduced through the "Collaborative Care Skills Workshops" programme among Spanish caregivers of relatives with an eating disorder. Caregivers were randomly allocated to either the skill-based workshops (n = 32) or psycho-educational workshops (n = 31), and assessments were carried out over time (T0 vs. T1 vs. T2 ). There were no significant differences between interventions on primary or secondary caregiver outcomes or among the patients themselves. However, caregivers in both interventions showed greater improvement at T2 on accommodating and enabling behaviours and an improvement at T1 in terms of psychological distress and appraisals towards the caregiving experience. Eating pathology, psychological distress, and some indices of psychosocial adjustment were significantly lower among the patients following both interventions (T1 ). Overall, both interventions may be able to help caregivers and patients to decrease their psychological distress. HIGHLIGHTS Involvement of family members in the treatment could be the best resource for aiding in their relative's recovery. This is the first controlled study to test the effectiveness of the Collaborative Care Skills Workshops in Spanish caregivers. Both interventions could be implemented as both help Spanish caregivers and patients.
