Eating disorders are becoming increasingly common in men and can affect men at any age. However, research in this area remains scarce. This article explores the experiences of this group of men and considers whether they have differing care needs to those of women, and the potential implications of this for practice. These include the role of shame and stigma, risk assessment and the treatment environment. The authors highlight the importance of undertaking ongoing research in this area to provide evidence for the most effective and appropriate treatment for men with eating disorders.
饮食失调在男性中越来越普遍,且可影响任何年龄段的男性。然而,该领域的研究仍然匮乏。本文探讨了这群男性的经历,并思考他们的护理需求是否与女性不同,以及这对实践的潜在影响。这些影响包括羞耻感和污名的作用、风险评估和治疗环境。作者强调在该领域进行持续研究的重要性,以便为患有饮食失调症的男性提供最有效和合适治疗的证据。
