Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the acceptability and effectiveness of the Eat Breathe Thrive (EBT) program as an eating disorder prevention intervention among women collegiate athletes.
Method: Change over time in eating disorder risk and competencies of positive embodiment were examined in 94 women (n = 48 EBT participants and n = 46 matched-controls) from one National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-classified university in the United States. Eating disorder risk factors were measured using the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Aspects of positive embodiment were measured using the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) and The Mindful Self-Care Scale (MSCS). Data were collected through participants' completion of online surveys across three time-points.
Results: Repeated measures ANOVAS revealed EBT participants reported experiencing significantly less state anxiety and greater interoceptive body trusting over time relative to matched-controls. No other significant interactions were found. Respondents found the EBT program acceptable.
Discussion: Acceptability and partial support for integrative, yoga-based, interventions targeting Division I student-athletes is indicated.
期刊介绍:
Eating Disorders is contemporary and wide ranging, and takes a fundamentally practical, humanistic, compassionate view of clients and their presenting problems. You’ll find a multidisciplinary perspective on clinical issues and prevention research that considers the essential cultural, social, familial, and personal elements that not only foster eating-related problems, but also furnish clues that facilitate the most effective possible therapies and treatment approaches.
