To determine if readiness for change (RFC) at admission predicted length of stay (LOS) and short-term outcomes among female adolescents in residential treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN).
Using a prospective cohort design to collect data from participants (N = 65) at admission and discharge, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression tested whether RFC on admission predicted time in LOS to a favorable short-term outcome--a composite endpoint based on minimum criteria for weight gain, drive for thinness, depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Participants with low RFC had a mean survival time to a favorable short-term outcome of 59.4 days compared to 34.1 days for those with high RFC (log rank = 8.44, df = 1, p = .003). The probability of a favorable short-term outcome was 5.30 times greater for participants with high RFC.
Readiness for change is a useful predictor of a favorable short-term outcome and should be considered in the assessment profile of patients with AN.
确定入院时的改变意愿(RFC)是否能预测神经性厌食症(AN)住院治疗的女性青少年的住院时间(LOS)和短期结局。
采用前瞻性队列设计,在入院和出院时收集参与者(N = 65)的数据,Kaplan-Meier生存分析和Cox回归检验入院时的RFC是否能预测达到良好短期结局的住院时间——一个基于体重增加、追求瘦身、抑郁、焦虑和健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)最低标准的综合终点。
低RFC的参与者达到良好短期结局的平均生存时间为59.4天,而高RFC的参与者为34.1天(对数秩 = 8.44,自由度 = 1,p = 0.003)。高RFC的参与者获得良好短期结局的概率高出5.30倍。
改变意愿是良好短期结局的一个有用预测指标,在AN患者的评估中应予以考虑。
