The current study aimed to examine the relationship between traumatic events and eating disorders (EDs), as well as the moderating effect of selected sociodemographic factors (educational level, gender, region, and age) within the Palestinian context.
Participants of the current study were 580 adults, including 320 males and 260 females, who were recruited online using convenience sampling techniques.
Results of the correlational analysis revealed that traumatic events positively correlated with restraint eating (r = 0.41, p < 0.01), eating concern (r = 0.42, p < 0.01), weight concern (r = 0.43, p < 0.01), shape concern (r = 0.46, p < 0.01), and EDs total (r = 0.40, p < 0.01). Results of hierarchical regression revealed that EDs were predicted by both sociodemographic variables and traumatic events (β = 0.44; p < 0.01).
The findings open the door for further research to better understand how the variables in this study correlate with one another. This would allow for the development and implementation of effective clinical interventions aimed at reducing EDs by promoting positive coping strategies for dealing with traumatic events, with support from mental health professionals.
本研究旨在探讨创伤性事件与饮食失调（EDs）之间的关系，以及在巴勒斯坦背景下某些社会人口学因素（教育水平、性别、地区和年龄）的调节作用。
本研究的参与者为580名成年人，包括320名男性和260名女性，采用便利抽样技术在网上招募。
相关分析结果显示，创伤性事件与节制饮食（r = 0.41，p < 0.01）、饮食关注（r = 0.42，p < 0.01）、体重关注（r = 0.43，p < 0.01）、体型关注（r = 0.46 p < 0.01）以及饮食失调总分（r = 0.40，p < 0.01）呈正相关。分层回归结果显示，社会人口学变量和创伤性事件均可预测饮食失调（β = 0.44；p < 0.01）。
研究结果为进一步研究打开了大门，以便更好地理解本研究中的变量如何相互关联。这将有助于制定和实施有效的临床干预措施，旨在通过在心理健康专业人员的支持下促进应对创伤性事件的积极应对策略来减少饮食失调。
