Eating disorders are among the most common clinical manifestations in children, and they are frequently connected with maternal psychopathological risk, internalizing/externalizing problems in children, and poor quality of mother-child feeding exchanges. During the COVID-19 lockdown, in person assessment and intervention were impeded due to the indications of maintaining interpersonal distancing and by limits to travel. Therefore, web-based methods were adopted to meet patients' needs. In this study N = 278 participants completed the SCL-90/R and the CBCL to examine the psychopathological symptoms of mothers and children (age of the children = 24 months); moreover, the dyads were video-recorded during feeding and followed an online video-feedback based intervention. Maternal emotional state, interactive conflict, food refusal in children, and dyadic affective state all improved considerably, as did offspring internalizing/externalizing problems and mothers' depression, anxiety, and obsession-compulsion symptoms. This study showed that video-feedback web-based intervention might be employed successfully to yield considerable beneficial effects.
进食障碍是儿童中最常见的临床症状之一，常与母亲心理病理学风险、儿童内化/外化问题以及母婴喂养交流质量差有关。在 COVID-19 封锁期间，由于保持人际距离的指示和旅行限制，面对面评估和干预受到阻碍。因此，采用了基于网络的方法来满足患者的需求。在这项研究中，N = 278 名参与者完成了 SCL-90/R 和 CBCL，以检查母亲和儿童的心理病理学症状（儿童年龄 = 24 个月）；此外，在喂养过程中对这些母婴对进行视频记录，并接受基于在线视频反馈的干预。母婴的情绪状态、互动冲突、儿童拒食以及母婴之间的情感状态都有了明显改善，儿童的内化/外化问题以及母亲的抑郁、焦虑和强迫症状也得到了改善。本研究表明，视频反馈网络干预可能成功地产生了相当大的有益效果。
