| Abstract (English): |
A 21-session psychotherapy group program for people with obesity, developed and implemented in a public hospital in Madrid, is described and the pilot study where program effects were assessed is presented. Changes in body weight, eating patterns and the impact on psychological functioning variables were evaluated in 17 patients at the beginning of the study, at the end of the intervention and six months later. Program completion was associated with progressive body weight loss, decreased risk of eating disorders, lower levels of general distress, as well as an improvement in dietary habits and greater personal commitment to self-care. In conclusion, the results suggest that the PsicoObe program could reduce not only body weight and dysfunctional eating behavior, but also psychopathology and distress variables. These findings show promising results, although a randomized controlled trial with a bigger sample is required in order to assess intervention efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Se describe un programa de 21 sesiones de psicoterapia grupal para adultos con obesidad, desarrollado e implementado en un hospital público de Madrid y se presenta el estudio piloto donde se exploraron sus efectos. Los cambios en el peso, el patrón alimentario y el impacto sobre variables de funcionamiento psicológico fueron evaluados en 17 pacientes al inicio del estudio, al terminar la intervención y seis meses después. La finalización del programa se asoció a una pérdida ponderal progresiva, la disminución del riesgo de patología alimentaria, la reducción en el nivel de malestar general, así como una alimentación más saludable y un mayor compromiso personal con el autocuidado. En conclusión, los resultados sugieren que el programa PsicoObe podría reducir no solo el peso y la conducta alimentaria alterada, sino también variables de psicopatología y malestar. Estos hallazgos ofrecen resultados alentadores, sin embargo, un ensayo aleatorizado controlado con una muestra mayor es necesario para evaluar la eficacia de la intervención. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
