Befintlig forskningslitteratur inom humanvetenskapen ger en otillräcklig bild avkvinnors uppfattning om den subjektiva kroppen. Det är av betydelse attsjuksköterskan ska kunna förstå hur en kvinna med Anorexia Nervosa uppfattar sinsubjektiva kropp inom perspektivet: humanvetenskap, vårdvetenskap, caring ochnursing för en säker och god vård. Syftet med studien var att belysa kvinnorsuppfattning om den subjektiva kroppen i samband med AN. Studien genomfördessom en litteraturstudie där 11 vetenskapliga artiklar utgjorde underlaget för resultatet.I resultatet framkom fyra teman: Subjektiv kropp som karikatyr, vämjelig, främmandeoch subjektiv och objektiv värld. Karikatyr var den vanligaste uppfattningen blandkvinnorna som gestaltades i samband med sociala interaktioner, vilket påverkade detdagliga livet negativt. En innovativ tankemodell illustrerades vars innebörd kantillföras i vårdprocessen efter ytterligare forskning, med nya vårdande begrepp utifrånvårt resultat. Det behövs ytterligare forskning inom alla professioner samt en storinsikt och erfarenhet för att få en ökad förståelse av kvinnans uppfattning om den subjektiva kroppen

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MICHELLE OSTIEN, for the Master of Science degree in FOOD AND NUTRITION, presented on November 20, 2008, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN FEMALES WITH REGARDS TO PERFECTIONISM IN THOSE WITH ANOREXIA NERVOSA, HIGH BMI (BINGE EATERS VS. NON-BINGE EATERS), AND THOSE SEEKING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Sharon Peterson One in five women in the United States struggle with an eating disorder or distorted eating patterns (National Institute of Mental Health, 2001). Perfectionism, one of the risk factors for developing an eating disorder, is a trait that many of these women have in common. While much research has been done on perfectionism in women with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, few studies have looked at perfectionism in women with binge eating disorder (Pratt, Telch, Labouvie, Wilson, & Agras, 2001). Our study sought to further understand the similarities and differences of the total and individual components of perfectionism in females seeking a healthier lifestyle, high BMI binge eaters, high BMI non-binge eaters, and anorexics. Our study found that the first component of the perfectionism scale (representing self-oriented perfectionism) was found to be significant between groups (p=0.002). When comparing females seeking a healthier lifestyle to high BMI binge eaters, females seeking a healthier lifestyle were more likely to answer "no", while high BMI binge eaters were more likely to answer "yes" (p=0.006). When comparing females seeking a healthier lifestyle to anorexics, females seeking a healthier lifestyle were more likely to answer "no" when compared to anorexics (p=0.033). When comparing high BMI binge eaters to high BMI non-binge eaters, high BMI binge eaters were also more likely to answer "yes" to this question when compared to high BMI non-binge eaters (p=0.048). Compared to 76.9% (N=10) of female anorexics, 74.4% (N=32) of female high BMI binge eaters, 50.0% (N=32) of female high BMI non-binge eaters, and 31.2 % (N=5) of females seeking a healthier lifestyle answered "yes" to perfectionism component one, which represented self-oriented perfectionism. Anorexics had the greatest tendency for perfectionism, followed by binge eaters, and then non-binge eaters. This study demonstrated that self-oriented perfectionism is the greatest indicator of perfectionism between subject groups and that perfectionism does exist in binge eaters.

Atinge principalmente adolescentes e adultos jovens, sendo predominante no sexo feminino. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de sintomas de anorexia nervosa e insatisfação com a imagem corporal em universitárias ingressantes na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Foram analisadas as possíveis associações entre anorexia nervosa e as variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas, comportamentais, estado nutricional e insatisfação com a imagem corporal das universitárias. O tamanho final da amostra foi de 220 universitárias. Os sintomas de anorexia nervosa foram identificados de acordo com a pontuação obtida no Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). A avaliação da imagem corporal foi realizada por meio do Body Shape Questionnarie (BSQ-34). O consumo alimentar foi analisado por meio de inquérito alimentar Recordatório 24 horas de um dia. O estado nutricional foi diagnosticado pelo Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), percentual de Gordura Corporal (%GC) e Circunferência da Cintura (CC). O perfil socioeconômico das universitárias foi traçado pela renda familiar mensal e escolaridade dos pais. Obteve-se taxa de adesão de 86,6%. A média de idade das universitárias investigadas foi 20,2 anos. A prevalência de baixo peso foi de 15,9%, enquanto as de sobrepeso e obesidade foram 8,6% e 3,2% respectivamente. As prevalências de sintomas de anorexia nervosa e insatisfação com a imagem corporal foram, respectivamente, 8,3% e 47,3%. Com a aplicação do teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson, observou-se que a presença de sintomas de anorexia nervosa associou-se à insatisfação da imagem corporal (p < 0, 001), identificada, por meio da regressão logística múltipla como a única variável independente associada à manifestação dos sintomas de anorexia nervosa (OR = 46,6, IC 95% (5,4-401,7) e p < 0, 001). Sugere-se dessa forma, a implantação de programas de educação nutricional nas universidades, a fim de promover mudanças na concepção da imagem corporal e estado nutricional dos estudantes.

Study one explored the service user experience of treatment for anorexia nervosa in the Welsh healthcare service. Factors such as treatment expectations, satisfaction, therapeutic alliance, motivation to change and engaging in treatment were considered by conducting indepth interviews with participants who had a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and were receiving secondary care. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic framework analysis revealing six main concepts: service user description of anorexia; expectations of treatment for anorexia; the journey through the health service for anorexia; therapeutic alliance during treatment for anorexia; satisfaction with the health service; and service user recommendations to improve the health service. Mapping and interpretation of the concepts drawn from the interviews resulted in a model exploring the relationship between expectations and satisfaction of treatment for patients with anorexia nervosa, and the effect upon motivation to engage in treatment and recover. Another model describing factors that affect therapeutic alliance was developed. The results are described with particular reference to the Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Study two used a four-stage, mixed-methods approach to develop and evaluate an anorexia nervosa awareness campaign for healthcare professionals. The campaign was developed using an integrative social marketing approach (NSMC: 2013): including formative research, process evaluation and outcome evaluation. Formative research included audience research (interviews and focus groups with healthcare professionals and healthcare professionals in training) in combination with theories of social cognition and persuasion to develop four posters. Process evaluation included campaign evaluation by healthcare professionals using questionnaires (open and closed ended questions). Appropriate modifications to the posters were made following the process evaluation, and two posters were chosen as the final intervention. Outcome evaluation of the campaign was conducted by using a brief, four-item evaluation questionnaire completed by healthcare professionals (General Practitioners and nurses). Results from all phases indicated that the use of posters as the medium of the anorexia Study three included development of a comprehensive audio-visual intervention to increase nursing students’ self-effcacy regarding initial management of patients with anorexia nervosa. The intervention was developed and underpinned using the Transtheoretical Model Framework (Levesque et al., 2001), and then evaluated using a pre-post-test design. The intervention was successful in significantly increasing nursing students’ self-efficacy regarding the initial management of anorexia nervosa. Furthermore, the nursing students’ self-efficacy was high prior to the intervention, indicating that nursing students already feel confident to manage patients with the disorder. The methodological and theoretical implications are discussed. nervosa awareness campaign did not sufficiently raise awareness of anorexia nervosa, and therefore the limitations of the second study were considered.

Methodology: transversal study, with 652 women between 14 and 20 years of age, students of the second year of Middle-level education. The Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) were used. Results: 73.6% of the subjects are out of risk for development of an Eating Disorder, 25.2% are at risk and in 1.2% a strong possibility of eating disorder in course was found. The proportion of adolescents who showed risky habits was greater in private schools (p<0.05). According to the EAT-26, 9% of the sample showed a score (>=21) which characterizes them as being at risk and practicing pathological eating habits. The BSQ indicated that 36.2% of the adolescents showed concern with their body image (BI); of these, 61% (n=236) were concerned to a degree considered mild, 26.3% showed a moderate concern and 12.7% showed serious concern with BI. Students at public and private schools demonstrated a similar desire to be thin, but adolescents from private schools more frequently used inappropriate practices in order to reach that wish. Conclusion: Adolescents who demonstrate eating disorders in their clinical form, are a rare phenomenon in public and private schools in Fortaleza, whilst the symptoms of eating disorder, either isolated or in small groups, occur with relevant frequency amongst the population studied. / Objetivo: caracterizar práticas alimentares e os possíveis fatores de risco associados aos Transtornos Alimentares, entre estudantes adolescentes do sexo feminino de Fortaleza-CE. Métodos: estudo transversal, com 652 mulheres de 14 a 20 anos, estudantes do 2º ano do segundo grau. Foram utilizados o Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE), o Body Shape Questionaire (BSQ) e o Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Resultados: Das adolescentes, 73,6% estão fora de risco para o desenvolvimento de um Transtorno Alimentar, 25,2% delas estão em situação de risco e em 1,2% foram encontrados indicativos para a ocorrência de um transtorno alimentar. A proporção de adolescentes que apresentaram práticas de risco foi superior nas escolas particulares (p<0,05). Segundo o EAT-26, 9% da amostra apresentam uma pontuação (>=21) que caracteriza um estado de situação de risco, além de atitudes alimentares patológicas. O BSQ apontou que 36,2% das adolescentes apresentam preocupação com a imagem corporal; destas 61% tiveram uma preocupação considerada de grau leve, 26,3% apresentaram uma moderada preocupação e 12,7% apresentaram uma grave preocupação com a imagem corporal. A proporção de adolescentes que apresentam preocupação com a imagem corporal em colégios particulares (43%) foi superior à proporção das que estudam em colégios públicos (32,3%), ou seja, a ocorrência de adolescentes com alteração de imagem corporal é maior nos colégios particulares (p<0,05). As estudantes de colégios públicos e particulares demonstraram um desejo similar de serem magras, mas as adolescentes de colégios particulares usam de forma mais freqüente práticas inapropriadas para alcançar este desejo. Conclusão: Adolescentes que apresentam todos os critérios diagnósticos para caracterizar um transtorno alimentar são uma ocorrência rara em escolas públicas e privadas de Fortaleza, enquanto que os sintomas de transtorno alimentar, apresentando-se em pequena mas preocupante quantidade, ocorrem numa freqüência relevante entre a população estudada.
