Indizierte Prävention von Essstörungen:

Eine Pilotstudie zu einem ambulanten Gruppenprogramm

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0943-8149.13.2.102

Zusammenfassung. Einzelne Symptome einer Essstörung, wie ein restriktives Essverhalten oder starke Sorgen um Gewicht und Figur treten bei Mädchen immer häufiger und früher auf. So ergibt sich eine hohe gesundheitspolitische Relevanz und Handlungsnotwendigkeit im Sinne einer Prävention von Essstörungen für Risikogruppen. Mit dem Ziel der indizierten Prävention von Essstörungen haben die Autorinnen dieses Beitrags ein ambulantes Gruppenprogramm für junge Frauen mit Esstörungssymptomen entwickelt. Das Programm besteht aus 10 wöchentlichen Sitzungen à 90 Minuten. Basierend auf den in der Literatur diskutierten Risiko- und protektiven Faktoren bei der Entstehung von Essstörungen sind vier Programmbausteine vorgesehen: (1.) Kognitive Interventionen zum Schönheitsideal, (2.) Gesunde Ernährung und Essstörungen, (3.) Körperbild und (4.) Konflikt-/Stressbewältigung. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Konzeption des Programms und erste Erfahrungswerte einer Pilotstudie vorgestellt und diskutiert.


Prevention of eating disorders: Development of a program for at-risk groups

Abstract. Behavioural precursors of eating disorders such as a restrictive eating style or a strong concern about weight and shape have become increasingly more common in girls and young women. A broad consensus exists that approaches to the secondary prevention of eating disorders are called for and are of high health-related relevance. Thus, the authors of this brief report developed a group program for secondary prevention of eating disorders. The program is designed for young women with subclinical forms of eating disorders. The program consists of 10 weekly sessions, each of 90 minute duration and is conducted in an ambulatory setting. Topics for the program were developed considering the risk and protective factors of eating disorders that are discussed in the literature so far. The program consists of four blocks of topics: (1) Cognitive interventions about the slender beauty ideal, (2) Healthy eating and eating disorders, (3) Body-image and (4) Conflict-/Stressmanagement. The content of the program as well as some preliminary results of a pilot study will be described and discussed.
