There is increasing interest in group therapy for the treatment of eating disorders. However, there is a lack of research evaluating group therapy that reflects on patient feedback in order to inform practice and improve treatment. This exploratory qualitative study attempted to evaluate patient feedback about the group therapy offered on a specialist inpatient eating disorders program. This qualitative analysis of patients' feedback highlights areas for improvement that can be targeted to increase the effectiveness of the psychotherapy groups in the future. The research has implications for making inpatient hospitalization more effectively tailored to patients' needs. This study also helps to improve qualitative research protocols.
团体治疗在饮食失调症治疗中的应用越来越受到关注。然而，缺乏对团体治疗进行评估的研究，这些研究未能考量患者反馈以指导实践并改善治疗。这项探索性定性研究试图评估患者对一个专门的住院饮食失调症项目所提供的团体治疗的反馈。对患者反馈的这种定性分析突出了有待改进的领域，未来可针对这些领域提高心理治疗团体的有效性。该研究对于使住院治疗更有效地满足患者需求具有重要意义。这项研究还有助于完善定性研究方案。
