Background and Objective: Eating disorders are one of the most common psychosomatic disorders that cause many problems in physical health and mental function, and also, impair the quality of life of the affected person and cause death. Overeating involves swallowing large amounts of food unusually and feeling uncontrollable during the eating period, occurring at least twice a week for six months. Nervous disorders are recurrent episodes of overeating and disproportionate compensatory behaviors from twice a week to once a week for the past three months. The aim of this study was the effectiveness of emotion regulation therapy on Self-concept and perceived social support in people with binge eating disorder.
Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all women with eating disorders in Sari in 2019. Sampling of this study included 30 women with eating disorders who were purposefully selected from the people who referred to Sari Counseling Center and were diagnosed with eating disorders, and were randomly selected in the experimental group (15 people) and The control group (15 people) was replaced. To collect data, the scale eating disorders (Stice et al., 2001), Self-concept questionnaire (Beck, 1978) and perceived social support questionnaire Zimet (1983) was used. It should be noted that the subjects were assured that participation in the study is completely optional and they will be free to refuse to participate in the study and their names will not be recorded in the questionnaire. Also, their information remains confidential and only the results will be published. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23 and analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The significance level of all tests was considered 0.05.
Results: Descriptive statistical methods including mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the collected data. With the aim of inferential analysis of research data, first the assumptions related to parametric statistics and analysis of covariance were tested; the output of Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests showed that the data distribution was normal. The data indicate that the components of self-concept and social support were not significant at the 5% level; therefore, the assumption of normality for the variable of self-concept and social support in all sub-components was not rejected at various levels. Then the homogeneity of regression slope was investigated which was not significant. To test the assumption of homogeneity of variance-covariance matrix, the output test of Mbox test was used. Levin test was also used to investigate the default homogeneity of variances, which also showed the significance levels of variance in dependent variables. Considering the mean and standard deviation in experimental and control groups in pre-test and post-test and the level of significance and square of the studied variables, it can be said that the effectiveness of emotion regulation-based treatment increases family support (p <0.001). The support of friends (p <0.001) and the support of important people (p <0.001) was associated.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that emotion regulation training can help a person to establish proper communication by regulating emotions and correcting them, and establishing communication will lead to desirable social support for family, friends and others. As a result, it will lead to the correction of perverted behaviors and thoughts that cause overeating or anorexia in people.
