Abstract Objective: Body checking may be an important behavioral consequence of body image disturbance. Despite the importance checking, few measurements this construct exist, particularly for males.

Many people with BPD (borderline personality disorder) experience emotional dysregulation and thus engage in NSSI (non-suicidal self-injury), potentially the pursuit of regulation. However, research is lacking on whether body modifications (piercings, tattoos, etc.) are linked to a similar way NSSI. In current study, we hypothesized (1) that associated symptoms, (2) regulation self-expression motivations for specifically account variance (3) craving correlates modification craving....
ABSTRACT Objective There is limited research on weight bias in diagnosing eating disorders (EDs), particularly among healthcare professionals (HCPs). This especially true for atypical anorexia nervosa, a diagnosis recently described the DSM that includes people with nervosa symptoms who are not clinically underweight. Method Using within‐subjects design, we assessed diagnosis, diagnostic confidence, and ED‐related medical knowledge sample of lay professionals. Participants read three...
Time spent viewing selfies significantly increases body dissatisfaction, checking, and eating psychopathology. We examined whether (1) self-viewing screen-time while videoconferencing increased from February to April 2020, following stay-at-home orders across most states. hypothesized that: (2) participants' anxiety, depression, appearance orientation, binge would increase satisfaction decrease after COVID-19 lockdowns; (3) recent ("past two weeks") duration predict worsened eating,...
Abstract Objective Outcome states, such as remission and recovery, include specific duration criteria for which individuals must be asymptomatic. Ideally, provide predictive validity to outcome states by reducing symptom‐return risk. However, available research is insufficient deriving recommendations or recovery eating disorders. Method We intensively modeled the relation between length rates of remission, subsequent symptom return in longitudinal data from a treatment‐seeking sample women...
Objective: Focusing on body functionality - what the can do may benefit women's image. This pilot study examined effects of focusing appreciation during an audio-guided mirror gazing task (F-MGT). Participants: 101 college women, M(SD)AGE = 19.49(1.31), were alternately assigned to F-MGT or a comparison with no guidance how examine body, directed attention (DA-MGT). Methods: Participants self-reported pre- and post-MGT appreciation, state appearance satisfaction, orientation satisfaction...

Method A total 12 completed brainstorming phase generated statements regarding they while treating EDs. subsequent 38...
Health care providers are continually seeking to improve patient communication outcomes. The American Medical Association (AMA) developed a set of recommended practices and an instrument evaluate health providers' use perceived effectiveness these techniques.
Background: Low health literacy impacts individual and the care system. The Health Literacy Knowledge Experience Survey (HLKES) was created to evaluate preparedness of nurses provide literate care. However, instrument developed a decade ago needs revision. purpose this study update shorten HLKES into feasible, valid, reliable instrument. Method: refined 14-item (10 knowledge questions four experience questions). Expert review obtained. Face validity assessed, pilot field testing with...
