To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a novel systemic cognitive behavior therapy-based intervention for carers of people with anorexia nervosa (AN). The intervention provides information and promotes skills development in managing the illness. Carers were also offered professional support.
Twenty-seven carers were recruited. Outcomes measuring carer distress, experience of care-giving, level of expressed emotion and problem solving were measured pre- and post-intervention and at follow-up. Carers also gave feedback.
There was a significant reduction in carers' anxiety and depression, negative experiences of caregiving and expressed emotion and a significant increase in positive experiences in caregiving after the intervention. Most improvements were maintained at follow-up. The intervention was well received.
The results of this pilot study indicate that the intervention is acceptable to carers and may have a positive impact on carers' mental health and experience of care-giving. Further investigation of the intervention is warranted.
评估一种新型基于系统认知行为疗法的干预措施在厌食症（AN）患者照顾者中的可行性和可接受性。该干预措施提供了有关管理疾病的信息，并促进了技能的发展。照顾者还获得了专业支持。
招募了 27 名照顾者。在干预前后和随访时测量了衡量照顾者痛苦、照顾体验、表达情感和解决问题能力的结果。照顾者也提供了反馈。
干预后，照顾者的焦虑和抑郁、负面照顾体验和表达情感显著降低，积极的照顾体验显著增加。大多数改善在随访时得以维持。该干预措施受到了好评。
这项初步研究的结果表明，该干预措施被照顾者接受，并可能对照顾者的心理健康和照顾体验产生积极影响。需要进一步研究该干预措施。
