Reclamation of power and self: a meta-synthesis exploring the process of recovery from anorexia nervosa

Duncan, Tristan Keil, Sebar, Bernadette, Lee, Jessica·2015·Advances in Eating Disorders

Abstract

Despite considerable investigation on behalf of the academic community, the process of recovery from anorexia nervosa remains enigmatic. The following study sought to enhance current understandings of recovery by synthesising the rich body of qualitative evidence examining the phenomenon from the perspective of those who have experienced it. Following a meta-ethnographic approach to synthesis, the study revealed two core categories related to empowerment and self-reconciliation. These categories describe recovery as a complex and consuming journey, entailing a self-determined search for identity and truth, and the repossession of personal control and power.

  • Lived experience recovery definitions centre a continuing process of personal transformation, reclamation of power, reconnection with the self and changing navigation of socio-cultural-political domains, in contrast to the medical definition of recovery as an endpoint.

    “In contrast to the medical definition of recovery as an endpoint, lived experience recovery definitions centre a continuing process of personal transformation, reclamation of power, reconnection with the self and changing navigation of socio-cultural-political domains [124–128].”

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.
