To describe the rationale, development, and preliminary acceptability of a Group Parent Training Program (GPT) as an alternative approach for the treatment of adolescent eating disorders.
Sixteen families participated in a 16-session group treatment. After four months, parents were administered a treatment satisfaction questionnaire.
Parent response to the intervention was positive. All parents indicated GPT was essential for the management of their child, improved general parenting skills, improved their own self-care, and decreased the burden they experienced as a result of managing their child's illness.
Given the magnitude of task demands placed on a family for the management of adolescent eating disorders, there is the need for the development of effective intervention strategies that ease the stress of illness management for parents. Preliminary satisfaction data from GPT are promising and argue for a more systematic test of this intervention.
描述团体家长培训项目(GPT)作为治疗青少年饮食失调的替代方法的基本原理、发展情况及初步可接受性。
16个家庭参与了为期16节的团体治疗。四个月后,向家长发放治疗满意度问卷。
家长对干预的反应是积极的。所有家长均表示GPT对管理孩子的病情至关重要,提高了一般育儿技能,改善了自身的自我护理,并减轻了因管理孩子的疾病而承受的负担。
鉴于家庭在管理青少年饮食失调方面面临的任务要求之艰巨,需要开发有效的干预策略,以减轻家长管理疾病的压力。GPT的初步满意度数据很有前景,主张对这种干预进行更系统的测试。
