Research summary
The aim of the study is to help understand the role of shame, guilt, and pride in eating disorders by evaluating a newly developed questionnaire -the Shame, Guilt, and Pride in Eating Disorders (SGPED) and validating it in a clinical population against other measures of these emotions. SGPED will be a new, easy to administer questionnaire to measure the state – that is presence of shame, guilt, and pride during treatment over two months.
The questionnaire has been validated but requires test-retest reliability measurement at one week. The questionnaire will then be used to track these emotions during the course of treatment in a longitudinal study of 2 months (baseline, 1 week, 2 months) during the initial stages of treatment. All questionnaires take 20 minutes to complete each time, and there are demographic questions on diagnosis, weight and height, age, gender and ethnicity. Adolescents will be rewarded with a £10 voucher for completing all 3 surveys.
The study is online and open to CAMHS adolescent patients with an ED, or via the BEAT (ED charity), again online.REC name
