sintomi di disturbi alimentari, Ansia, depressione, rischio suicidario e autostima in Studenti universitari italiani
Abstract. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the interconnections among symptoms of eating disorders (EDs), suicidal ideation, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and the perceived quality of family functioning in a cohort of university students aged 19 to 67 years (N = 211). Methodology: Symptom assessment was conducted using the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire‐Revised, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales Short Version, and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire. We employed network analysis to explore the relationships between these domains. Results: Within the current network, Shape Concern, Weight Concern, Stress, and Depression symptoms exhibited the highest centrality. Discussion: Our findings underscore the significant roles played by stress and depression symptoms in the manifestation of EDs symptoms among university students. These results offer novel insights to enhance early interventions aimed at mitigating symptoms and risk factors associated with EDs. A deeper comprehension of these intricate associations and the influence of familial variables could bolster the efficacy of interventions, both in clinical and educational settings.
