Influence of parental rearing styles on attitude towards change in eating disorders

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationships between ''parental rearing styles'' and ''attitude towards change'' in eating disorders patients according to DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association -APA-, 1994). Methods: A total of 166 patients was evaluated: 66 (39.8%) patients met criteria for bulimia nervosa, 49 (29.5%) patients met criteria for anorexia nervosa and 51 (30.7%) patients met criteria for an eating disorder not otherwise specified. All the patients completed a set of self-administered questionnaires to evaluate their family relationships (APGAR familiar), their memories of parental upbringing and their attitudes towards change (ACTA) after one year treatment. Results: A multiple regression analysis was performed. ''overprotection'' perceived during childhood was related to higher scores in ''pre-contemplation'' and lower scores in ''action'' and ''maintenance''. On the other hand, ''rejection'' during upbringing was related to higher scores in ''pre-contemplation'' at one year follow-up regardless of family dysfunction. Finally, ''warm'' perceived was related to higher scores in ''action''. Conclusions: These results show the relevance of breeding in treatment important aspects in eating disorders patients.

Educando niños y niñas en ambientes seguros: Valoración de un programa para la mejora de las prácticas de crianza en padres con hijos de 3 a 5 años

“…A pesar de esta diversidad conceptual, existen diferentes estudios que demuestran que las prácticas, los estilos y creencias acerca de la crianza, se relacionan con el desarrollo cognitivo (Velarde y Ramirez, 2017;Vite y Perez, 2014), emocional (Ramirez-Lucas et al, 2015) y social (Suárez y Vélez, 2018) de los niños. Por ejemplo, la literatura científica da cuenta de un vínculo entre las prácticas de crianza con la aparición de trastornos psicopatológicos, como los trastornos de alimentación (Beato et al, 2016;Braden et al, 2014;Losada & Charro, 2018), ansiedad y depresión (Aguilar-Yamuza et al, 2019;Rosser et al, 2018) y problemas de conducta (López-Rubio et al, 2012;Rosser et al, 2018).…”
