Understanding how parents cope with living with someone with anorexia nervosa: Modelling the factors that are associated with carer distress

Kyriacou, Olivia, Treasure, Janet, Schmidt, Ulrike·2008·International Journal of Eating Disorders

Abstract

Objective: Caring for a person with anorexia nervosa (AN) has been associated with psychological distress and poor life quality of carers. Addressing carers' needs may impact on prognostic outcome. The aim was to explore and model factors associated with distress in parents of people with AN (N = 151). Method: A cross‐sectional design was used to assess caregiving strains (Pearlin Stress Scales) and psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Results: Over 70% of carers (N = 107) scored at or above the suggestive threshold (score ≥ 8) for anxiety, and 38% (N = 54) for depression. Over 50% of carers (N = 78) scored at or above the clinical threshold (score ≥ 11) for anxiety, and 13% (N = 20) for depression. A model of carer distress after multiple regression analyses showed three significant associated variables. In order of significance, self‐related strains, carer sex, and interpersonal strains accounted for 41% of the variance, (F(3, 112) = 29.85, p < .001). Conclusion: Interventions aimed at improving outcome in AN may need to focus on reducing caregiving strains and carers' distress, particularly of mothers. © 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
