Outcomes: accommodation and enabling scale for EDs; caregiver burden | |||||||||
1 | randomized trial | not serious | not serious | not serious | not serious | none | 1 feasibility RCT with caregivers for AN and BN emerging adults (n = 23 caregivers in web-based intervention; n = 27 caregivers in workshop intervention) [110]. Positive experiences were reported in both interventions. From baseline to end of intervention, small between-group effect sizes were observed for changes in Caregiver Accommodation and Enabling Scale for EDs, favouring the web-based intervention. | ⨁⨁⨁⨁ HIGH | CRITICAL |
Changes in caregiver burden favoured the workshop intervention rather than the web-based intervention [110]. | |||||||||
1 | randomized trial | not serious | not serious | not serious | not serious | none | 1 RCT with caregivers for AN, atypical AN, BN, atypical BN, and EDNOS emerging adults (n = 147 DVD video training intervention; n = 138 control) [111]. Caregivers’ accommodating behaviours (accommodation and enabling scale for EDs) were not reduced by the DVD intervention. | ⨁⨁⨁⨁ HIGH | CRITICAL |
Caregivers’ burden and psychological distress were more reduced by the DVD intervention than control [111]. |
