Psychological Wellbeing in Clients in Tier 3 Weight Management Service
Body Image, Psychological Distress, Shame and Disordered Eating in Patients in a Tier 3 Weight Management Service Receiving an Online Delivered, Group Based Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) Informed Psychological Intervention
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Tier 3 weight management services are led by multidisciplinary teams (MDTS) what usually include physicians, dieticians, nurses, physiotherapist, psychiatrists, and psychologists. In the service where the study is conducted referrals to psychology are often made by a dietician. The psychologist in the service also accepts self referrals from patients either during initial assessment with dieticians or at any point of their journey in the service. The psychology pathway is "opt-in", in other words, only patient who actively express interest, motivation and wish to make use of the additional psych resource and accepted.
The participants will be offered the intervention by the group facilitating clinician (who is a part of care team). Initially the principal supervisor was meant to facilitate group intervention, but because the principal supervisor is going on maternity leave the group will be facilitated by a qualified substitute clinician. This clinician will offer an assessment of needs to all patients referred for psychological support. The clinician will act as a gatekeeper and will offer CFT based group intervention when clinically and ethically appropriate (see the exclusion and inclusion criteria below). Taking part in the intervention and signing up for the research will not affect the care patients receive from MDT in the service.

Experiential Shame Scale
Time Frame: 20 weeks
|
25 items questionnaire.
Rated on 4 point Likert scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much).Higher scores indicate higher shame.

Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation 10
Time Frame: 20 weeks
|
10 items questionnaire.
Items on the CORE measures are scored from zero to four, with higher scores indicating greater levels of distress.
Scores of the CORE-10 can be divided into categories of distress: Healthy (0-5), low (6-10), mild (11-14), moderate (15-19), moderate-to-severe (20-24), and severe (25 and above).

Disordered Eating Questionnaire
Time Frame: 20 weeks
|
In part A answers are given on a 5-point frequency scale, the alternatives being never, 1-2 per week, 3-4 per week, every day, more than once a day. In part B the answers are given on a 7-point likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 7 (absolutely). Section A consists of 18 items which evaluate the frequency with which the subject adopts a series of disordered eating behaviors. Section B has 6 items dealing with worries and intrusive thoughts regarding weight, food, calories, physical fitness. The unifactorial structure includes all the items from section A, with the exception of the 4 items concerning purging behaviours and all the items from section B. Adding up the scores of all the items included in the factor, a scale score is obtained whose reliability (measured using Cronbach's alpha) is equal to 0.90. The frequency of purging behaviours is calculated separately by adding the frequencies given in the relative 4 items not included in the scale score. |
