Current treatment guidelines recommend that inpatients with eating disorders-particularly adolescents with anorexia nervosa-should receive treatment at facilities within close distance to their home. However, whether distance to home actually influences short- and long-term treatment outcome in adolescents with anorexia nervosa has not been investigated yet. We re-analyzed data at admission, discharge, and 1-year follow up from a recent study with N = 142 female, adolescent inpatients with anorexia nervosa. Distance to home did not moderate changes in body weight, eating disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, compulsive exercise, and life satisfaction. This is the first analysis that indicates that specialized inpatient treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa is effective both close to and away from home.
目前的治疗指南建议,饮食障碍患者——尤其是神经性厌食症的青少年患者——应在离家较近的医疗机构接受治疗。然而,离家的距离是否会影响神经性厌食症青少年的短期和长期治疗结果,目前尚未得到研究。我们重新分析了最近一项研究中 N=142 名女性青少年神经性厌食症住院患者入院、出院和 1 年随访时的数据。离家的距离并不能调节体重、饮食障碍症状、抑郁症状、强迫性运动和生活满意度的变化。这是首次分析表明,离家较近和较远的专门针对青少年神经性厌食症的住院治疗都是有效的。
