This study aimed to examine current scientific production regarding sexuality-related issues in the context of eating disorders (ED). Searches were performed on PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL and PsycINFO, including papers published between 2008 and 2018, using the following descriptors: eating disorders, femininity, sexuality and sexual behavior. Nineteen studies were selected. Findings were systematized into two main thematic categories and showed, in general, that femininity can be a risk factor to the development of ED. Studies indicated that endorsing a gender role that is socially considered discrepant from biological sex, despite feminine or masculine, is related to ED symptomatology. Moreover, body dissatisfaction is positively correlated to sexual dysfunction. Interventions targeting prevention of ED should include sexuality-related issues by approaching probable negative consequences of adhering to female gender role social requirements and stereotypes, especially those related to body weight and body shape.

However, their personality traits impaired the quality of these relationships, engendering feelings of loneliness, undervalue, and lack of support.…”

This study aimed to investigate emotional meanings assigned to eating disorders (ED) through the narratives of women affected with these psychopathological conditions. Participants were patients in a Brazilian service specialized in treatment of ED. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection. Recruitment continued until data saturation was reached. The verbatim transcription of interview data was analyzed through thematic content analysis, which was employed by two researchers. Results showed that, after the occurrence of ED, participants began to experience feelings of distress, anxiety, and loneliness, which were related to lowered self-esteem and social isolation. Family dynamics was characterized as confrontational, but in contrast, was considered as participants' primary social support network. These data underlined that the emotional meanings attributed to ED need to be addressed and explored by health care professionals to gain a detailed understanding of patients' illness experiences.

RESUMENLa finalidad fue investigar los significados emocionales atribuidos a trastornos alimentarios (TA) en las narrativas de mujeres con esas condiciones psicopatológicas. Los participantes fueron pacientes en un servicio brasileño especializado en TA. Fue utilizada entrevista semiestructurada para la recolecta de datos. El reclutamiento continuó hasta alcanzar la saturación de los datos. La transcripción literal de las entrevistas fue analizada mediante el análisis temático de contenido por dos investigadores. Los resultados mostraron que, tras TA, los participantes empezaron a vivir sentimientos de desesperanza, ansiedad y solitud, relacionados al autoestima inferior y aislamiento social.

“…Apesar de ainda não existir um consenso a respeito da origem desses quadros, reconhece-se que a etiologia envolve a interação dinâmica de vários fatores, tanto intrínsecos quanto extrínsecos ao indivíduo (King, Gerish & Schreiber, 2019;Oliveira-Cardoso & Santos, 2012). Tais fatores combinados dão início, precipitam e/ou mantêm o transtorno, gerando alterações em vários aspectos da vida pessoal, dentre eles os relacionamentos interpessoais e afetivo-sexuais -uma vez que a vulnerabilidade emocional dificulta o estabelecimento e a preservação de vínculos (Leonidas & Santos, 2015a).…”

Resumo O estudo investigou a configuração da rede social significativa de uma mulher com anorexia nervosa, buscando articular a percepção do apoio social recebido e o curso do transtorno. Utilizou-se como estratégia metodológica o estudo de caso e o enfoque das redes sociais para análise dos dados. Participou do estudo uma jovem de 24 anos com diagnóstico de anorexia nervosa do tipo compulsivo-purgativo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada, Genograma, Mapa de Rede e consulta ao prontuário hospitalar. O conteúdo da entrevista foi transcrito na íntegra e literalmente, e o material coligido constituiu o corpus da pesquisa. O Genograma e o Mapa de Rede foram analisados de acordo com as recomendações da literatura e o referencial teórico utilizado. Os resultados apontaram dificuldades no estabelecimento de vínculos e sofrimento decorrente da percepção de falta de suporte da rede familiar. Certos aspectos da dinâmica de personalidade da participante resultavam em afastamento das pessoas e consequente isolamento social, o que restringe o potencial de apoio da rede e suscita vivências de solidão e desamparo. Enfatiza-se a necessidade de aproveitar o potencial das redes de apoio na assistência em saúde para fortalecer os laços sociais de jovens com diagnóstico de anorexia.
