Abstract
Objective: Impairment in personality functioning (PF) has been linked to a number of mental disorders, including eating disorders (EDs). However, the precise relationship between PF and symptom severity, as well as the potential impact on outcome, remains unclear. The study aimed to analyse the association of PF and its change with severity of ED symptomatology as well as outcome of hospital treatment.
Method: The sample consisted of 397 patients with EDs, treated in 19 university hospitals for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy in Germany between 1/2019 and 12/2020. PF was measured with the Structure Questionnaire of the Operationalised Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD-SQ, short version), eating psychopathology with the ED examination questionnaire (EDE-Q). Outcome was defined as a change in the EDE-Q total score. We used Latent Change Score Modelling to analyse changes in ED pathology during treatment and a 1-year follow-up period.
Results: A higher level of impairment in PF at admission correlated with more eating psychopathology and a less favourable outcome. Additionally, greater improvement in PF correlated with greater improvements in ED symptomatology at discharge.
Conclusion: Impairment in PF needs to be part of diagnostic assessments and should be considered an important treatment target for psychotherapeutic interventions.
Trial registration: The MEPP study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS, www.drks.de; ID: DRKS00016412).
期刊介绍:
European Eating Disorders Review publishes authoritative and accessible articles, from all over the world, which review or report original research that has implications for the treatment and care of people with eating disorders, and articles which report innovations and experience in the clinical management of eating disorders. The journal focuses on implications for best practice in diagnosis and treatment. The journal also provides a forum for discussion of the causes and prevention of eating disorders, and related health policy. The aims of the journal are to offer a channel of communication between researchers, practitioners, administrators and policymakers who need to report and understand developments in the field of eating disorders.
