简要总结
Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aims at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders is feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting. We also investigate if the treatment increases knowledge of emotions, and decreases self-reported difficulties with emotion regulation, alexithymia, symptoms of eating disorder, anxiety and depression, as well as clinical impairment.
Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consists of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures.

结局指标
主要结局
Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20)
时间窗: Change from baseline at 5 weeks
Toronto Alexithymia Scale measures alexithymia. It contains a total of 20 items with 3 subscales (difficulties describing feelings: 7 items ranging from 7-35, difficulties identifying feelings: 5 items ranging from 5-25 and externally oriented thinking: 8 items ranging from 8-40). Total scores range from 20-100 with higher scores indicating higher levels of alexithymia.
Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q).
时间窗: Change from baseline at 5 weeks
The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is the self-report version of Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) and measures the characteristics of eating disorders. The 6.0 version used in this study consists of 28 items. EDE-Q is scored on a 7-point Likert scale, from "no days" to "every day" and higher scores indicate higher eating pathology. The total score ranges from 0-196. The questionnaire comprises a total scale and subscales for restraint, eating concerns, shape concerns and weight concerns.
The Clinical Impairment Assessment Questionnaire (CIA)
时间窗: Change from baseline at 5 weeks
The Clinical Impairment Assessment Questionnaire (CIA) measures the psychosocial impairment of eating disorders. It focuses on the last 28 days and consists of 16 items, graded on a Likert scale from "Not at all" to "A lot". Higher scores indicate higher level of secondary psychosocial impairment and the total scores ranges from 0-48. The CIA is designed to be completed immediately after filling in a measure of current eating disorder features that covers the same time frame (e.g., the EDE-Q).
Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS)
时间窗: Change from baseline at 5 weeks
Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale measures difficulties with emotion regulation. It contains a total of 36 items that are rated on a Likert scale between 1-5. Total score ranges between 36-180 with higher scores indicating more difficulties with emotion regulation. The scale has 6 subscales: nonacceptance (ranging from 6-30); goals (ranging from 5-25); impulse (ranging from 6-30); awareness (ranging from 6-30); strategies (ranging from 8-40) and clarity (ranging from 5-25).
