    Author: Doumit R, Zeeni N, Sanchez Ruiz MJ, Khazen G.
    Journal: Perspect Psychiatr Care; 2016 Oct; 52(4):254-264. PubMed ID: 26031192.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To examine three indicators of psychopathology (stress, anxiety, and depression) as potential moderators of the relationship between body image dissatisfaction (BID) and restrained, emotional, and external eating, while controlling for family-related variables (i.e., household income, living situation, and psychopathology in the family) and individual variables (i.e., body mass index, physical activity, and major life events). DESIGN AND METHODS: A descriptive, correlational cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 894 female undergraduates aged between 18 and 25 completed a self-reported questionnaire. FINDINGS: Moderation analyses indicated that anxiety significantly moderated the relationship between BID and restrained eating, whereas depression and stress did not. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Findings may be used in the development and implementation of education and prevention programs for disordered eating in college campuses. The usefulness of these findings for nursing practice is discussed.
