OBJECTIVE
Smartphone applications (apps) for eating disorders are a promising approach to assist individuals who do not receive traditional treatment. This study examines usage characteristics, perceptions regarding the acceptability of a new self-help intervention developed for users with eating disorders, and associations between attitudes and use patterns.
METHODS
189 individuals pilot-tested a personalized app-based program, and 133 completed the required components of the pilot-test over an 8-day period. Of these, 64 individuals (49%) completed an exit survey pertaining to acceptability.
RESULTS
Seventy percent of those who pilot-tested the app-based program completed the required components, i.e. a baseline review and then a 1-week assessment. Body mass index was associated with the total number of recorded meal logs. Study participants rated the app as highly suitable and acceptable, providing evidence of the feasibility and appropriateness of the program.
CONCLUSION
The app-based program demonstrated feasibility of deploying the app across user groups and high acceptability.
目的
用于饮食失调症的智能手机应用程序（应用）是帮助那些未接受传统治疗的个体的一种很有前景的方法。本研究考察了使用特征、对为饮食失调症患者开发的一种新的自助干预措施可接受性的看法，以及态度与使用模式之间的关联。
方法
189名个体对一个基于应用程序的个性化项目进行了试点测试，133人在8天时间内完成了试点测试的所需部分。其中，64人（49%）完成了一项关于可接受性的退出调查。
结果
对基于应用程序的项目进行试点测试的人中，70%完成了所需部分，即一次基线评估，然后是一次为期1周的评估。体重指数与记录的饮食日志总数相关。研究参与者对该应用给予了高度的适用性和可接受性评价，证明了该项目的可行性和适宜性。
结论
基于应用程序的项目证明了在不同用户群体中部署该应用的可行性和高度可接受性。
