Weighing patients with anorexia nervosa tends to be an integral part of their treatment, yet there is variability in the detail of how this is conducted. The aim of this study was to carry out preliminary exploration of one aspect of this, namely what patients wear when being weighed.
Two Web-based surveys were conducted accessing the views of ex-patients (20 respondents) and professionals (98 respondents).
Responses confirmed the variability in arrangements for weighing patients. Both patients and professionals were more concerned with accuracy than with privacy, and the patients stated a preference for being weighed in underwear. Between 30 and 57% of patients reported having falsified their weight during treatment.
These surveys provide a reminder of the high frequency of falsification of weight and some support for a policy of weighing in underwear. The strength of the findings is limited by the methodology with small number of ex-patients all of whom had been through the same treatment programme. Given the paucity of literature on this clinically relevant topic, this does seem to be an area that warrants further investigation.
对神经性厌食症患者进行称重往往是其治疗的一个组成部分，但在具体实施方式上存在差异。本研究旨在初步探索其中的一个方面，即患者称重时所穿的衣物。
我们开展了两项基于网络的调查，以了解前患者（20 名受访者）和专业人士（98 名受访者）的意见。
调查结果证实了对患者进行称重的安排存在差异。患者和专业人士都更关心准确性而不是隐私，患者表示更愿意穿着内衣称重。有 30%至 57%的患者报告在治疗期间伪造了体重。
这些调查提醒人们注意体重经常被伪造的问题，并在一定程度上支持了穿内衣称重的政策。调查结果的强度受到研究方法的限制，因为前患者人数较少，且都接受过相同的治疗方案。鉴于该临床相关主题的文献很少，这似乎确实是一个值得进一步调查的领域。
