We aim estimate the magnitude changes in prevalence rates of, indicators for, ED psychopathology face pandemic. Method Pre-registered systematic review with frequentist Bayesian meta-analyses. Searches for eligible studies were performed PubMed, Web Science pre-print servers until January 15 2023. Results Our searches yielded 46 reporting on total 4,688,559 subjects. These data provide strong evidence indicating increased diagnosed self-reported ED’s concordant need care symptom severity scores patients not elevated during pandemic, except those anorexia nervosa. On average, people general population report relatively high levels emotional binge although evidential strength these associations is only anecdotal moderate. Moderators between-study heterogeneity detected. Conclusions Altogether, our results suggest that associated wide spread negative effect patient samples population. development online prevention intervention programs EDs stressful times like encouraged. A limitation reported here may be prone biases, amongst others, self-report bias. Level evidence: I, meta-analysis.

Results 1, EGA accurately identified original dimensions showed that has good fit indexes (CFI 0.989, RMSEA 0.064; 90% CI [0.058, 0.070], SRMR 0.062), possesses robust properties. reveals distinct, statistically significant among disorders. Conclusion proves be concise precise tool for measuring behaviors. Its applicability context, supported by properties, suggests utility both clinical purposes. findings affirm potential inform interventions aimed at enhancing psychological health.

Abstract Background Early treatment is critical to improve eating disorder prognosis. Single session interventions have been proposed as a strategy provide short term support people on waitlists for treatment, however, it not always possible access this early intervention. Conversational artificial intelligence agents or “chatbots” reflect unique opportunity attempt fill gap in service provision. The aim of research was co-design novel chatbot capable delivering single intervention adults the waitlist across diagnostic spectrum and ascertain its preliminary acceptability feasibility. Methods A Double Diamond approach employed which included four phases: discover, define, develop, deliver. There were 17 participants total Australia; ten with lived experience an seven registered psychologists working field disorders, who participated online interviews workshops. Thematic content analyses undertaken interview/workshop transcriptions findings from previous phase informing ideas development next phase. final prototype presented deliver Results identified main themes that present phases interviews/workshops: conversational tone, safety risk management, user journey structure, content. Conclusions Overall, feedback positive throughout process both psychologists. Incorporating allowed refinement chatbot. Further required evaluate chatbot’s efficacy settings.

This study evaluates changes in presentation EDs before after at Regional Residential Center “Mariconda” Salerno. Methods retrospective cohort analyzed records from 162 patients admitted to center between December 2018 2023. onset restrictions mid-2020 divided subjects into pre-COVID COVID groups. Data collected included age, gender, education level, previous hospital admissions, admission diagnoses, body mass index (BMI), comorbidity with other psychiatric conditions. Results Among subjects, 115 (71%) were during period. group was younger (mean age: 18.3 vs. 20.6 years, p = 0.009), had lower educational attainment (67% 49% below secondary school diploma, 0.025), a higher rate prior hospitalizations (49% 26%, 0.007), demonstrated severe comorbidities illnesses (94% 82%, 0.009) compared cohort. No significant differences observed gender distribution, initial diagnoses upon admission, or average length stay. Conclusion findings indicate that intensified EDs, particularly among individuals backgrounds. underscores urgent need for targeted, integrated treatment approaches context crises, including development strategies address increased comorbid conditions frequency readmissions this study. These results highlight necessity reinforcing multidisciplinary care models integrate medical, psychological, social support heightened complexity post-pandemic ED cases ensure more effective, long-term outcomes.

Abstract Background Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has shown promise in the assessment, understanding, and treatment of eating disorders (EDs), providing a dynamic platform for clinical innovation. This scoping review aims to synthesize recent advancements applications IVR addressing these complex psychological disorders. Methods followed Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-analysis Protocols, focusing on studies published past five years. It included peer-reviewed papers that used ED examination, or treatment. A comprehensive database search provided selection relevant articles, which were then methodically screened analyzed. Results Twenty met inclusion criteria, with primary focus Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The application was categorized into three areas: found be an effective tool assessing body image distortions emotional responses food, insights are less accessible through traditional methods. Furthermore, offers innovative approaches by facilitating exposure therapy, modifying body-related biases, enabling regulation embodied experiences. demonstrate IVR’s potential improve accuracy, reduce food-related anxieties, support behavioral changes patients. Conclusion stands out as transformative technology field EDs, offering benefits across diagnostic, therapeutic, experiential domains. ability simulate brain’s predictive coding mechanisms provides powerful avenue delivering embodied, interventions can help recalibrate distorted representations dysfunctional affective models implicated EDs. Future research should continue refine applications, ensuring consistent methodologies wider trials fully harness settings.
