简要总结
Seventy-four participants (n=35 intervention and n=39 control) completed the 12-week trial. Results from the study showed that self-compassion, some aspects of the dietary intake (such as decreased energy intake), and some general psychological factors related to body weight (i.e., anxiety and stress) improved in the intervention group, but not in the control group. Eating pathology decreased in both the intervention and control groups. However, the changes in the main study outcomes were not meditated by self-compassion. Together, the findings from this study suggest that an online self-compassion, goal-setting and self-monitoring intervention could improve dietary habits in people with overweight and obesity. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and examine the efficacy of the intervention over a longer period.
