Att stå ensam bredvid : En intervjustudie om föräldrars upplevelser av att leva med ett barn som drabbats av Anorexia Nervosa

Bennesved, Anna, Ernstsson, Emelie January 2014 (has links)
Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa är en självförvållad bantningsform, “självsvält” som karaktäriseras av ett litet matintag och undvikelse av feta livsmedel. Anorexia nervosa drabbar främst flickor i tonåren. Tidigare forskning visade på att föräldrar till dessa barn och ungdomar upplevde bristfälligt stöd och information från sjukvården samt avsaknad av delaktighet kring sitt sjuka barns behandlingsprocess.  Föräldrarna upplevde även att sjukdomen hade en psykisk, fysisk och social påverkan på deras livssituation och att de behövde stöd i att hantera denna situation. Syfte: Att belysa föräldrars upplevelse av att leva med ett barn som drabbats av Anorexia nervosa. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktivt synsätt som är baserad på fem ostrukturerade intervjuer med en öppen fråga. Strategiskt- och bekvämlighetsurval användes. Intervjumaterialet analyserades enligt kvalitativ innehållsanalys av Graneheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: Resultatet visade på sex olika kategorier; föräldrars betydelse i vården kring sitt sjuka barn, föräldrars upplevelse av sjukvårdens betydelse, föräldrars upplevelser av känslor under sitt barns sjukdomstid, sjukdomens påverkan på föräldrarnas liv och föräldrarnas upplevelse av stöd Slutsatser: Föräldrarna saknade information och stöd från vården vilket resulterade i att stor börda lades på föräldrarna som sitt barns primära vårdare. Detta sågs öka den stress som föräldrarna kände och i kombination med de känslor som föräldrarna upplevde resulterade det i psykisk ohälsa hos dem

An exploration of the demographic profile of a sample of hospitalised anorexia nervosa patients.

Gabriel, Bernice B. January 1999 (has links)
This retrospective exploratory study examined demographic variables in a sample of anorexia nervosa patients hospitalised from January 1987 to December 1996. The researcher undertook an extensive literature review of the history and epidemiology of anorexia nervosa, and found that, while changes in the demography of anorexia nervosa patients are evident in industrialised and developing countries, there is a paucity of equivalent data for South Africa. The archival records of 254 anorectics admitted for the first time to an in-patient tertiary referral centre were reviewed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed to determine the demographic profile of the sample, to ascertain changes in demographic variables over the ten-year period of study, and to explore the relationships between these variables. Results reflect the typical anorectic admitted to the hospital of study as a white, female, between the ages 15 to 20, and from the upper to middle social classes. The mean weight at admission for the sample was 39.24 kilograms, while the mean body mass index was 14.78 kilograms/metre2. While no significant increase in admission rates within the ten-year period was found, a marked increase in admission rates is seen when the present study's findings of 254 first admissions over ten years (averaging 25 admissions per year) is compared to a previous study's findings of 54 admissions over a three-year period (averaging 18 admissions per year) at the same institution. Over the ten-year period of study, no significant trends or relationships were found with regard to the following variables: sex; race; age at admission; and socioeconomic status. However, a significant decreasing trend in weight and body mass index was found from 1987 to 1996, and a significant relationship was found between mother's socioeconomic status, and subject's weight and body mass index, respectively. Results also show evidence of an increasing number of males, Indians, children, and individuals over the age of 40 becoming vulnerable to anorexia nervosa. The extent to which these findings are generalisable to a broader-based South African cohort are questionable, due to the fact that the study was conducted in a single setting, and due to the influence of the historical context of the setting. / Thesis (M.Ed.) - University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1999.

A grounded theory exploration of the experiences of the early stages of anorexia in adolescence

Koruth, Nina January 2008 (has links)
Background: Anorexia Nervosa is mental health problem which crosses both psychological and physical realms. It is also known to be a difficulty that often arises in adolescence. Unfortunately its prognosis is not favourable with elevated rates of chronicity and a higher mortality rate than any other psychiatric disorder in adolescence. Objectives: This research set out to explore the experiences of young people about the early stages of Anorexia. It was anticipated that this would improve clinicians’ knowledge in this area. Design and Method: This study adopted a qualitative Grounded Theory design for the interviewing and analysing process. Eight participants took part in an interview on their experiences of the early stages of Anorexia. The participants were aged between 13-17 years old. The majority were female with one male participant. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data were analysed using NVivo software. The process of analysis involved moving between the interviews and generating codes. Through this repeated process the themes emerged from and were validated by the data. Results & Conclusions. Themes developed which illustrated the importance of the interpersonal context. Further analysis and conclusions were drawn from this and presented as this study’s main findings. The main findings were that there is a strong emotional element to the experiences of the early stages of Anorexia; that the level of awareness into Anorexia is something that develops and finally that emotions and awareness impact on responses to interpersonal interactions. The results were considered in reference to literature and clinical recommendations were provided.

Feeding behaviour and appetite in young children with non-organic failure to thrive

Kasese-Hara, Mambwe C. January 1997 (has links)
The study reported in this thesis was aimed at investigating taste preferences and caloric compensation in one to two year old children with non-organic failure to thrive (FTT) as compared to normally developing children of the same age. The sample studied included 28 cases with non-organic FTT, and 28 controls with normal growth. The study comprised two experiments. The first tested the child's relative preference for sucrose sweetened solutions versus water. The test session included six 60 second presentations of tastant at three levels of concentration n i.e. water, 0.2 Mol sucrose solution, and 0.4 Mol sucrose solution, with at least 30 second intervals between presentations. The second experiment measured caloric compensation, by testing the child's intake from a standard meal on two occasions, after a pre-load of no-calorie or high-calorie drink. In addition meal time behavioural observations were made, and information about the child’s feeding history was obtained from parent reports. All children regardless of whether they were failing to thrive or not preferred 0.2 Mol sucrose solution to 0.4 Mol sucrose and to water. The energy intake of children with FTT was lower than that of controls, and meal-time behaviours showed some differences between groups in both the child and parent behaviours. Unlike the controls the FTT children showed no caloric compensation, but showed a trend towards the opposite of compensation. Analysis of growth data showed that FTT in the sample studied was present from birth.
