Abstract

Discrimination against and negative beliefs about large-bodied individuals, known as weight stigma, is pervasive and harmful. While previous research has focused on the negative consequences of weight stigma, the present study aims to highlight the lived experience of large-bodied individuals while also exploring the process of healing from harmful experiences of weight stigma. Ten adult (9/10 White, 8/10 cisgender women), large-bodied individuals recruited via snowball sampling through a nonprofit, grassroots, eating disorder advocacy organization participated in a 10-week, counselor-facilitated support group with the shared goal of healing from the impact of weight stigma. Researchers used reflexive thematic analysis to analyze video recordings and transcripts of group sessions to answer the following question: how did participants make sense of their weight stigma experiences and engage with the process of healing in community? Four primary themes were generated: (a) Community is Essential, (b) Storying, (c) Deprogramming and Changing Mindset, and (d) Expansive Healing. These results underscore the impact of weight stigma in the lives of large-bodied individuals and provide insight into how clinicians might support such individuals engaging in collective healing from these painful experiences.

治愈社区中的体重污名:对大型个体群体干预的主题分析。
对体型较大的人的歧视和负面看法,即体重污名,是普遍存在的,也是有害的。虽然之前的研究侧重于体重污名的负面后果,但本研究旨在强调体型较大的个体的生活经历,同时探索从体重污名带来的有害经历中康复的过程。10名成年(9/10名白人,8/10名顺性别女性)、身材魁梧的人通过非营利、草根、饮食失调倡导组织的滚雪球抽样招募,参加了一个为期10周的由顾问协助的支持小组,其共同目标是治愈体重污名的影响。研究人员使用反射性主题分析来分析小组会议的视频记录和记录,以回答以下问题:参与者如何理解他们的体重耻辱经历,并参与社区中的康复过程?产生了四个主要主题:(a)社区是必不可少的,(b)讲故事,(c)取消编程和改变心态,以及(d)扩展治疗。这些结果强调了体重污名化对大型个体生活的影响,并为临床医生如何支持这些个体从这些痛苦经历中集体康复提供了见解。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
