Nowadays, the use of digital technology is an important issue that should be addressed during the treatment of people who have eating disorders. The involvement or absence of this issue reflects the understanding, experience, and atttude of health-care professionals toward their clients' use of technology. The aim of the present study was to investigate the perceptions of health-care professionals and their assessment of their clients' usage of digital technology while developing strategies for treatment. Semistructured interviews with 30 professionals were performed from October 2015 to June 2016 and a thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The health-care professionals' views could be summarized in three thematic groups: (1) technology use is not relevant for the cooperation; (2) technology use is relevant for the cooperation and addressed generally; and (3) technology use is relevant for the cooperation and addressed specifically. The results are discussed in relation to the theoretical model presented by Rodgers about the impact of technology on disordered eating behaviors and the implications for practice.
如今，数字技术的使用是治疗饮食障碍患者时应解决的一个重要问题。这个问题的涉及或缺失反映了医疗保健专业人员对其客户使用技术的理解、经验和态度。本研究旨在调查医疗保健专业人员的看法及其对客户使用数字技术的评估，同时制定治疗策略。2015 年 10 月至 2016 年 6 月，对 30 名专业人员进行了半结构化访谈，并采用主题分析方法对数据进行了分析。医疗保健专业人员的观点可以概括为三个主题组：(1)技术的使用与合作无关；(2)技术的使用与合作有关，并被普遍提及；(3)技术的使用与合作有关，并被特别提及。结果与 Rodgers 提出的关于技术对饮食障碍行为的影响的理论模型以及对实践的影响进行了讨论。
