Optimizing treatment outcomes in adolescents with eating disorders: The potential role of cognitive behavioral therapy

BACKGROUND Interactive mobile technologies (IMB) are viewed as a promising opportunity to provide support in treatment for patients’ with eating disorders. The authors analyzed papers to find out the patterns of research domains in cognitive-behavioral therapy using interactive mobile technologies and eating disorder treatments. The development of interactive mobile technologies in eating disorder treatments was enhanced significantly during the last decade. Therefore this emerging research field has been found interesting and attractive to keep it in the research agenda. Consequently, the author planned various research settings for current and further studies. OBJECTIVE This research aims to explore the scientific patterns of interactive mobile technologies for cognitive-behavioral treatment for individuals with eating disorders in scholarly publications and analyze the findings to suggest further studies in an emerging research field. METHODS The bibliometric analysis employed such as identifying publication patterns, most important keywords, and trends for the subjects and fields for the period of the last decade (2010 to 2021). In this study, research questions were formed based on the relevant literature. The author concentrated on highly ranked sources, the data retrieved from the known databases, and the study conducted with the proven bibliometric approach, RESULTS A total of 875 studies were found concerning the research domains and retrieved from the LENS database. The vast majority of the papers were written in the English language by 100 authors/co-authors from 70 different countries, leading with the United Kingdom, then followed by the USA, Australia, Spain, Germany and Sweden. Descriptive characteristics The vast majority of the papers were written in the English language by 100 authors/co-authors from 70 different countries, leading with the United Kingdom, then followed by the USA, Australia, Spain, Germany and Sweden. CONCLUSIONS The research revealed that, although the early years of publication record shown as low, recent years (from 2016) represent an overall increase in research domains. The main contribution of the findings indicates that IBM, in combination with in-person cognitive-behavioral therapy for eating disorders, increases the efficiency of health intervention, including reducing essential symptoms and improving life quality. Besides, IBM can be used as a supportive tool in managing diet, body dissatisfaction, stress, and sleep disturbance. This paper would be useful for researchers to obtain an overview of the publication trends on research domains to be concerned for further studies and shows the potential gaps in those fields.
