Resum

Caring for an offspring with an Eating Disorder (ED) has negative consequences for caregivers, increasing their stress perception and deteriorating their quality of life. Informal caregivers of people with an ED show higher levels of anxiety and depression, and worst general health. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention program, oriented to the reduction of stress, anxiety and negative mood, in this population. The program was composed of 12 sessions, which were implemented over 6 months. Anxiety, negative mood, and afternoon cortisol levels before and after a 3 psychotherapeutic sessions (pre-intervention, mid-intervention and post-intervention) were assessed. Results showed a significant improvement in mood and anxiety after the intervention program. Furthermore, there was a significant reduction in afternoon cortisol levels in each of the evaluated sessions. In conclusion, the psychoeducational program applied was effective for improving mood and perceived stress. Future studies should replicate these results increasing the sample size, including a control group and analyzing the positive effects of this type of interventions in patients with EDs.
