Latinos are less likely to seek health care for eating disorders and more likely to drop out of treatment than members of other ethnic groups, highlighting existing challenges to engagement in traditional mental health care. This study explored the role of family in the treatment of adult Latinas with eating disorders through content analysis of family sessions adjunctive to cognitive behavioral therapy. This study yielded insight into the experiences of 10 Latinas with eating disorders (M age = 39.90 years) and 10 relatives (M age = 39.50) from the Promoviendo una Alimentación Saludable trial who were randomly selected to receive six family enhancement sessions. Data from 53 sessions were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis approach. Family intervention might serve as a valuable adjunct to conventional treatment by positively influencing social, family, and emotional support for Latinas with eating disorders.
拉丁裔人群寻求饮食失调治疗的可能性低于其他族裔群体，更有可能中途退出治疗，这凸显了在传统心理健康护理方面所面临的挑战。本研究通过对认知行为疗法辅助下的家庭治疗会议内容进行分析，探讨了家庭在治疗成年拉丁裔饮食失调患者中的作用。这项研究深入了解了来自“促进健康饮食”试验的 10 名患有饮食失调症的拉丁裔女性（平均年龄 39.90 岁）和 10 名亲属（平均年龄 39.50 岁）的经历，他们是随机选择接受六次家庭增强会议的。使用定性内容分析方法对 53 次会议的数据进行了分析。家庭干预可以通过为患有饮食失调症的拉丁裔女性提供积极的社会、家庭和情感支持，成为传统治疗的有益补充。
