- Abstract: Objective: The involvement of families in the treatment of adults with eating disorders is recommended as a core component of comprehensive care, yet little is known about the optimal way to implement or routinely facilitate this. This article evaluates the recent evidence on the inclusion of families in treatment programs for adults with eating disorders. Method: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify evidence of family inclusive treatment approaches for adults with eating disorders. A scoping review framework was applied to assess and synthesize findings. Results: Sixty‐eight studies were identified. Substantial conceptual research contributing to the theoretical basis of current practice with families of adults with eating disorders and clinical applications in current use were identified. Most research used uncontrolled studies with few experimental designs, reflecting the standing of the extant literature. Common elements of existing approaches have been distinguished and shared core components of interventions identified. Discussion: Results confirmed that family members of adults were willing to be involved with eating disorder treatment services and appeared to respond to interventions of varying intensity and duration. The impact on individual patients, and effect on treatment outcomes, are yet to be established.

The impact on individual patients, and effect on treatment outcomes, are yet to be established. The localized settings of existing studies, the homogenous nature of interventions used, and the limited diversity in research subjects, make it difficult to generalize from the results to the wide range of adult eating disorder presentations seen in practice. Suggestions for future research and further clinical developments are discussed. Resumen: Objetivo: La participación de las familias en el tratamiento de adultos con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria se recomienda como un componente central de la atención integral, sin embargo, se conoce poco sobre la 13 forma óptima de implementarlo o facilitarlo de manera rutinaria. Este artículo evalúa la evidencia 14 reciente sobre la inclusión de familias en programas de tratamiento para adultos con trastornos 15 alimentarios. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática para identificar evidencia de 16 enfoques de tratamiento inclusivo familiar para adultos con trastornos alimentarios. Se aplicó un marco de revisión del alcance 17 para evaluar y sintetizar los hallazgos. Resultados: Se identificaron 68 estudios 18. Se identificaron investigaciones conceptuales sustanciales que contribuyen a la base teórica de la práctica actual con familias de adultos con trastornos alimentarios y aplicaciones clínicas en 20 usos actuales. La mayoría de las investigaciones utilizaron estudios no controlados con pocos diseños experimentales, lo que refleja la posición de la literatura existente. Se han distinguido los elementos comunes 2 de los abordajes existentes y se han identificado componentes centrales compartidos de 3 intervenciones. Discusión: Los resultados confirmaron que los miembros de la familia de los adultos 4 estaban dispuestos a participar en los servicios de tratamiento de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria y parecían responder a intervenciones de intensidad y duración variables. Aún no se ha establecido el impacto en 6 pacientes individuales y el efecto en los resultados del tratamiento. Los 7 contextos localizados de los estudios existentes, la naturaleza homogénea de las intervenciones utilizadas y la diversidad limitada de los sujetos de investigación hacen que sea difícil generalizar de los resultados a la amplia gama de presentaciones de trastornos alimentarios en adultos observadas en la práctica. Se discuten sugerencias para investigaciones futuras y desarrollos clínicos adicionales. … (more)
