Title: | Processes of change in quality of life, weight self-stigma, body mass index and emotional eating after an acceptance-, mindfulness- and compassion-based group intervention (Kg-Free) for women with overweight and obesity | Authors: | Palmeira, Lara Cunha, Marina Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Project: | info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/FCT/SFRH/SFRH/BD/84452/2012/PT | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Health Psychology | Abstract: | This study examined the effectiveness of Kg-Free: an acceptance-, mindfulness- and compassion-based group intervention for women with overweight and obesity at post-treatment and 3-month follow-up and explored the psychological processes that underlie changes in quality of life, weight self-stigma, body mass index and emotional eating at post-treatment. Overall, 53 women completed Kg-Free. At post-treatment and 3-month follow-up, participants reported increased quality of life, mindfulness and self-compassion abilities and decreased weight self-stigma, emotional eating, shame, weight-related experiential avoidance, self-criticism and body mass index. Shame and self-criticism reductions were important mediators of changes in health-related outcomes, whereas weight-related experiential avoidance, mindfulness and self-compassion mediated changes in weight and eating-related outcomes. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46744 | DOI: | 10.1177/1359105316686668 | Rights: | openAccess |
