Overview

Retrospective pilot study shows improved burden and depressive symptoms in caregivers of eating disorder patients.

Key Points

  • Burden and depressive symptoms in caregivers significantly decreased after the BREF-ED intervention.
  • ZBI scores improved by a Cohen’s d of 0.61 post-intervention and 0.62 at the 3-month follow-up.
  • Satisfaction scores were high, with 90.1% of participants very satisfied after the programme.
  • Preliminary results indicate BREF-ED could be a resource-efficient intervention for caregiver education.
