: The aim was to gain in-depth understanding about individuals' existential experiences of living with obesity. : People living with obesity face great vulnerability and existential challenges.

目的是深入了解肥胖患者的生存体验。肥胖患者面临巨大的脆弱性和生存挑战。所提供的不同治疗方法似乎无法满足肥胖者的个体需求。需要从个体角度深入了解生存体验,以便进行个体化治疗。采用探索性现象学-解释学设计,以更深入地了解肥胖患者的生存体验。参与者代表了一个方便的样本。进行了 18 次定性访谈,并进行了现象学-解释学分析。出现了四个主题:肥胖的负担;对身体的不满;和身体作为自我的表达。肥胖的负担会让人感到自己是不完整的和有缺陷的,作为一个人被贬低和歧视。我们需要转向生活世界的视角,看到身体作为自我的表达,以克服对象化和异化,然后将身体作为自我的表达,将其转化为主体。医疗保健工作者需要帮助肥胖患者减少对象化和异化。开发具有个性化、整体性的干预措施非常重要。
