Associations Between Approach and Avoidance Coping, Psychological Distress, and Disordered Eating Among Candidates for Bariatric Surgery
2019
Background
Individuals seeking bariatric surgery evidence risk for binge and disordered eating behaviors, which can lead to poorer post-surgical weight loss outcomes. Use of avoidant coping strategies to manage stress, along with symptoms of depression, are associated with disordered eating in the general population. However, the role of coping has not been examined among candidates for bariatric surgery, and coping and depression have rarely been considered in combination. Given the emerging standard that psychologists are involved in evaluations and treatment before and after surgery, consideration of these variables is clinically relevant.
