“…The perception of the disease through negative emotional states, such as depression and anxiety, are expressed through automatic thoughts, and this information process can be objective or distorted, which leads to thinking errors defined as cognitive distortions [8,9]. It has been proposed that depression and anxiety symptoms are often mediated by distorted thoughts which lead to a negative emotional state [7,10]. Additional psychological factors associated with depression in these patients are cognitive appraisal and coping process [11].…”

“…Resilience consists of personalized skills to cope to adversity situations and even emerge stronger from them. In chronic disease, resilience can be associated with adherence to treatment and well-being [10,11,[14][15][16][17][18][19]. Although there is evidence that psychological resilience acts as a protective factor against depression and anxiety, resilience has been scarcely evaluated in ESRD patients [15,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent psychological disorders in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that have a negative clinical impact. The purpose of our study was to identify factors associated with the presence of depression and anxiety, in a sample of ESRD patients treated with hemodialysis. We included 187 patients from two dialysis facilities, age 18–65 years. Beck’s depression and anxiety inventories, KDQOL36 questionnaire, the cognitive distortion scale and the Mexican scale of resilience were used. Socio-demographic and clinical information was obtained from medical records. Depression was present in 143 (76.4%) patients. Patient with depression were older (33 (26–52) years vs. 30 (24.43) years, p = 0.025), had a lower education level (36% vs. 9%, p = 0.001), used more medications (67% vs. 36%, p = 0.001), had a comorbidity (75% vs. 41%, p = 0.001), and a higher proportion were waiting for a kidney transplant. Anxiety was present in 112 (59.8%) cases. By multivariate analysis, depression was independently associated with lower education, absence of previous kidney transplant, anxiety, higher cognitive distortion, lower psychological resilience, and lower quality of life scores. In conclusion, lower psychological resilience, lower education level, and higher cognitive distortions are factors associated with depression and anxiety in ESRD patients.

“…The phenomenon of “thought–shape fusion” (TSF) describes an ED‐specific cognitive process (Shafran, Teachman, Kerry, & Rachman, ) characterized by a tendency to experience body‐related cognitive distortions, triggered by the imagination of eating high caloric food (TSF; Coelho, Carter, McFarlane, & Polivy, ; Wyssen et al, ) or by the imagination of thin ideals (TSF‐B; Loeber et al, ; Munsch et al, in preparation; Wyssen, Coelho, Wilhelm, Zimmermann, & Munsch, ; Wyssen et al, ). Validation of a trait version of the “thought–shape fusion body” questionnaire (TSF‐B) resulted in two concept subscales (“imagination of the thin ideal” and “striving for own thin ideal”) and a clinical impact scale (i.e., extent of impairment).…”

“…Moreover, it goes along with a decrease in mood and body image satisfaction. TSF and TSF‐B have been observed in healthy women and more pronounced in female patients suffering from EDs (Coelho et al, ; Coelho et al, ; Coelho, Roefs, & Jansen, ; Wyssen et al, ; Wyssen et al, ; Wyssen, Coelho, et al, ).…”

Etiological models of eating disorders (EDs) describe body dissatisfaction (BD)as one of the major influences fostering dysfunctional body‐related behaviour and disordered eating behaviour. BD is influenced by repeated exposure to thin ideals that evoke high self‐ideal discrepancy and result in body‐related cognitive distortions such as thought–shape fusion body (TSF‐B). The aim of this study was to investigate the covariation of daily media exposure and the experience of TSF‐B in a naturalistic setting. It was further analysed whether TSF‐B is associated with self‐ideal discrepancy, dysfunctional body‐related behaviour, and disordered eating behaviour. Moreover, person‐related predictors of TSF‐B were explored. Altogether, 51healthy female students (mean age 21.06years, SD = 1.76) participated in an ecological momentary assessment study with four daily surveys during 10consecutive days. Exposure with thin ideals in contrast to exposure to unspecific media contents went along with the experience of TSF‐B. TSF‐B was associated with higher self‐ideal discrepancy and dysfunctional body‐related behaviour as well as more pronounced disordered eating behaviour, suggesting that TSF‐B is a common phenomenon in young healthy females' everyday life. A main effect of trait measures (e.g., pre‐existing BD) on TSF‐B was observable but has no moderating effect. Thus, a specific vulnerability has not been detected.

“…Several studies show that these factors influence the perceived discrepancy between one’s own and the thin ideal body in healthy females (Mussweiler et al, 2000; Myers & Crowther, 2009). Nevertheless, cognitive distortions (i.e., consistent, false, and skewed patterns of thinking often related to psychopathology) have hardly been investigated in eating disorders, until the concept of the food-related Thought Shape Fusion (TSF) gained researchers’ interest (Coelho et al, 2015; Radomsky et al, 2002; Wyssen et al, 2016; Wyssen et al, 2018). The original TSF concept includes irrational beliefs about the closeness of the relationship between thoughts about food and the physical world.…”

This study examined the consequences of media exposure to thin ideals compared to pictures of landscapes in healthy young women and women with eating and mixed mental disorders and investigated whether appearance-related cognitive factors and cognitive distortions moderate the effects. Two hundred seventy-five women in a multisite laboratory trial (174 in- or outpatients and 101 healthy women; M age 22.87 years, SD = 3.94) were exposed to either thin ideals or to landscape pictures and guided through a vivid imagery of these pictures thereafter. Changes in body image dissatisfaction, mood, eating behavior, and physiological markers were assessed. After thin ideal exposure and even more after guided imagery, women’s body image dissatisfaction increased and mood declined. The effect on mood was most pronounced in women with eating disorders, less in women with mixed disorders, and smallest in healthy controls. No effects were found on physiological measures. Higher values of appearance-related cognitive factors moderated the effect of thin ideal exposure and guided imagery on all psychological outcomes. Cognitive distortions moderated the effect of thin ideal exposure and guided imagery on mood. Findings indicate an overall susceptibility to viewing thin ideal pictures in magazines in young and especially in women with eating disorders. Though exposure in the laboratory resulted in psychological effects, it did not lead to a physiological stress response. The impact of thin ideal exposure on mood is in line with affect-regulation models in eating disorders, with appearance-related cognitive factors and cognitive distortions potentially accelerating such effects.
