Abstract

Group cognitive remediation and emotion skills training for patients with obesity. A pilot study. Cognitive remediation and emotion skills training was initially designed by the Tchanturia group for individual intervention in patients with eating disorders. The purpose of the present study is to present its adaptation to patients with obesity in group format. It is structured in 8 weekly sessions that work on central executive functions, the relation between emotion and thought, and emotion regulation in oneself and others. In addition, we present the preliminary results of its application to a group of 5 participants with morbid obesity to assess its possible efficacy. The results indicate that, after the intervention, the patients showed improvement in their cognitive and emotional skills, as well as in their behaviors related to eating and weight. This program can be a useful complementary intervention in the initial stages of obesity treatment.

Funding information

En este estudio nos planteamos que el programa CREST-O puede resultar de utilidad para mejorar la efi-cacia de los tratamientos habituales de reducción de peso en este tipo de pacientes, por lo que el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido desarrollar una adaptación del CREST (CREST-O) para la aplicación en grupo a pa-cientes con obesidad en el contexto sanitario público y valorar su eficacia mediante un estudio piloto con un grupo de pacientes con obesidad mórbida. El propósito del CREST-O es mejorar las funciones de flexibilidad cognitiva, el procesamiento global y la toma de decisio-nes reflexiva, la identificación de sentimientos y la regu-lación emocional, y relacionar todo ello con la ingesta de alimentos y la realización de ejercicio físico en su día a día. Gracias a este trabajo cognitivo y emocional, el pro-grama contribuirá a que los pacientes pierdan el peso necesario mediante su tratamiento habitual, y manten-gan el peso perdido una vez finalizado el tratamiento.
