Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigated whether focusing on one's body functionality (i.e., everything the body can do, rather than how it looks) would lead to improvements in body image, self-esteem, and self-kindness among women who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Investigators

Participants are randomised to group by the online research system. The investigator does not know what group participants have been assigned to. Participants are aware whether they have been assigned to the intervention or comparison (waitlist) group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Participants in the intervention group completed the Expand Your Horizon programme (Alleva et al., 2015).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Expand Your Horizon

Intervention Type OTHER

Expand Your Horizon is an online programme, comprising three 15min writing exercises delivered over the course of 1 week. In each writing exercise, participants are asked to describe the functions of their body, and why those are personally meaningful to them.

Comparison Group

Participants in the comparison group did not complete any intervention (i.e., this was a waitlist comparison group).

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
