The current longitudinal study explored the prevalence and psychosocial factors of disordered eating among new Chinese mothers in Hong Kong.
Self-report questionnaires on bulimic symptoms and pregnancy-related factors were collected at both prenatal and postnatal periods from 131 Chinese women.
Participants reported significantly more severe disordered eating in the postnatal than in the prenatal period, with percentages being 19.08% and 8.4%, respectively, using the Eating Disorder Inventory-2. Results revealed that prenatal disordered eating, weak maternal-fetal attachment, a low level of instrumental spousal support during pregnancy, postnatal depressive symptoms, and a poor mother-infant relationship were significantly related to disordered eating at 6 months postchildbirth.
Findings suggested that the transition to motherhood is a period of stress that may either precipitate or exacerbate disordered eating.
当前的纵向研究探讨了香港初为人母的中国女性饮食失调的患病率及心理社会因素。
在产前和产后阶段收集了131名中国女性关于暴食症状及与怀孕相关因素的自我报告问卷。
使用《饮食失调问卷-2》，参与者报告产后饮食失调比产前严重得多，比例分别为19.08%和8.4%。结果显示，产前饮食失调、母婴依恋薄弱、孕期配偶工具性支持水平低、产后抑郁症状以及母婴关系不佳与产后6个月时的饮食失调显著相关。
研究结果表明，向母亲角色的转变是一个压力时期，可能会引发或加剧饮食失调。
