This study examined mothers' ( = 9) mealtime experiences when caring for their son or daughter with anorexia nervosa through semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis identified three themes: (1) managing mealtime combat through accommodation and acceptance; (2) feeling isolated, inauthentic and ill-equipped and (3) a need for understanding and to be understood. The overarching concepts of 'combat' and 'distortion' also underpin the analysis, uniquely outlining how mothers come to understand this daily situation. Mealtime-related interventions need to be developed which prioritise promoting skills and confidence in managing mealtimes and helping carers to address the emotional challenges of these occasions.
本研究通过半结构化访谈，探讨了母亲在照顾患有神经性厌食症的儿子或女儿时的用餐体验。阐释现象学分析确定了三个主题：（1）通过适应和接受来应对用餐时的冲突；（2）感到孤立、不真实和准备不足；（3）需要理解和被理解。“冲突”和“扭曲”这两个核心概念也构成了分析的基础，独特地描绘了母亲们如何理解这种日常情况。需要制定与用餐相关的干预措施，优先培养管理用餐时间的技能和信心，并帮助照顾者应对这些时刻的情绪挑战。
