Caring for an offspring with an eating disorder (ED) is associated with high levels of distress, and health problems. Indeed, ED caregivers have to cope with a range of challenges related to their caring role, which represents a chronic stress situation. This tends to alter body homeostasis and caregivers' health status. This study aimed to analyse the electrodermal reactivity and psychological response to acute stress in ED caregivers compared to non-caregivers. As expected, caregivers showed lower electrodermal (p < .001, η2partial = .269 for SCL and p < .01, η2partial = .214 for NSCRs) and psychological response (p < .05, η2partial = .198) to acute stress than non-caregivers. The findings suggest the existence of physiological adaptation to chronic stress in family caregivers of people with EDs.
照顾患有饮食失调症（ED）的子女会带来高度的痛苦和健康问题。事实上，饮食失调症患者的照料者必须应对一系列与其照料角色相关的挑战，这是一种慢性应激状况。这往往会改变身体的内稳态和照料者的健康状况。本研究旨在分析与非照料者相比，饮食失调症患者照料者对急性应激的皮肤电反应和心理反应。不出所料，与非照料者相比，照料者对急性应激的皮肤电反应（SCL的p <.001，偏η2 =.269；NSCRs的p <.01，偏η2 =.214）和心理反应（p <.05，偏η2 =.198）更低。研究结果表明，饮食失调症患者的家庭照料者存在对慢性应激的生理适应现象。
