This study examined the relation between coping skills and eating disorder recovery by comparing these skills across healthy controls, fully recovered, partially recovered, and active eating disorder cases. Full recovery was defined using physical, behavioral, and psychological components.
Individuals formerly seen for an eating disorder at a Midwestern clinic were categorized as having an active eating disorder (n = 53), as partially recovered (n = 15), or as fully recovered (n = 20). The coping skills of these groups were compared to each other and to 67 healthy controls.
Healthy controls and fully recovered individuals utilized similarly high levels of task- and avoidance-oriented coping and similarly low levels of emotion-oriented coping. Partially recovered individuals looked more similar to those with an active eating disorder.
Results provide support for a comprehensive definition of eating disorder recovery, of which healthy coping may be an integral component, and for the re-evaluation of the notion of "maladaptive" coping.
本研究通过比较健康对照组、完全康复组、部分康复组和活跃饮食障碍组的应对技能,来检验应对技能与饮食障碍康复之间的关系。完全康复是通过身体、行为和心理三个方面来定义的。
在中西部诊所接受过饮食障碍治疗的个体被分为活跃饮食障碍组(n=53)、部分康复组(n=15)和完全康复组(n=20)。将这些组的应对技能与彼此进行比较,并与 67 名健康对照组进行比较。
健康对照组和完全康复组的任务导向和回避导向应对技能水平较高,情绪导向应对技能水平较低。部分康复组与活跃饮食障碍组更为相似。
研究结果为饮食障碍全面康复的定义提供了支持,其中健康的应对方式可能是一个组成部分,并重新评估了“适应不良”应对的概念。
