primer ortoreksije

Abstract

V svojem diplomskem delu sem raziskovala ločnico med motnjami hranjenja - konkretneje ortoreksijo in zdravim načinom prehranjevanja. V teoretičnem uvodu sem opisala zasvojenosti (motnje hranjenja spadajo mednje), nato sem na splošno opisala motnje hranjenja, opredelila vzroke za nastanek, nato pa opisala različne vrste motenj hranjenja. Izpostavila sem tudi, kako promoviran zdrav način življenja vpliva na posameznikovo samopodobo, nazadnje pa sem opredelila, kako je socialno delo povezano s sodelovanjem z osebami z motnjami hranjenja. V empiričnem delu sem analizirala in predstavila ugotovitve, do katerih sem prišla z intervjuvanjem ljudi na neslučajnostnih priložnostnih vzorcih iz štirih različnih populacij. Izbrala sem dvanajst ljudi. Tri posameznice izmed njih so prebolele ortoreksijo, tri posameznice so prebolele druge vrste motenj hranjenja, tri so bile socialne delavke (dve od njih zaposleni na področju motenj hranjenja) in trije drugi strokovnjaki, ki so zaposleni ali so bili zaposleni na področju motenj hranjenja. Z vprašanji, ki sem jih zastavljala, sem raziskovala, kakšne so razlike v dojemanju motenj hranjenja (prvo zaznavanje znakov motenj hranjenja, ločnica, kje se začnejo motnje hranjenja, potrebe, izzivi) vseh štirih skupin (osebe, ki so prebolele ortoreksijo, osebe, ki so prebolele druge vrste motenj hranjenja, socialne delavke s področja motenj hranjenja in drugi strokovnjaki s področja motenj hranjenja). Ugotovila sem, da se prve znake motenj zaznava zelo pozno, praktično tam, kjer je ločnica. Pomembno je, da smo pozorni že prej, saj na ta način lahko delamo na preventivi. Prav tako je potrebno, da kot strokovni delavci bolj poslušamo in s posamezniki sodelujemo, saj so se pokazale razlike v dojemanju izzivov in potreb posameznic, ki so prebolele motnje hranjenja, ter strokovnjakov na tem področju. Poznavanje izzivov je nujno potrebno za ustrezno podporo osebam z motnjami hranjenja. Potrebe oseb z ortoreksijo v primerjavi z osebami z ostalimi vrstami motenj hranjenja se ne razlikujejo bistveno, ostaja pa ortoreksija tudi med strokovnjaki še nepoznana, zato je pomembno ozaveščanje o tej motnji. Pokazalo se je tudi veliko pomanjkanje organizacij za podporo osebam z motnjami hranjenja, kar je povezano s tem, da še vedno veliko posameznikov ne išče pomoči. Za uspešno podporo je bolj kot sama izobrazba strokovnjaka pomemben njegov pristop, to, da se oseba počuti sprejeta, slišana in varna. Motnje hranjenja so zelo kompleksno področje, zato je do posameznika potrebno imeti celosten pristop, se osredotočati na vsa področja njegovega življenja, ne le na enega samega. Rezultati raziskave so zame koristni, prav tako pa bodo prišli prav tudi ostalim strokovnjakom, ki delajo na področju motenj hranjenja.

Secondary title: Line between eating disorder and healthy eating habits: case of orthorexia
Secondary abstract: In my thesis I explored the boundary between eating disorders - specifically orthorexia and healthy eating habits. In the theoretical part, I first described addictions (eating disorders are one of them). Secondly, I described eating disorders in general, defined their causes and origins, and described the characteristics of each eating disorder individually. Furthermore, I emphasised how promoting a healthy lifestyle affects an individual's self-image. Finally, I ended my theoretical part by describing the relationship between working with individuals who have recovered from eating disorders and social work. In my empirical part, I analysed and presented what findings I came to during my research. I interviewed twelve individuals. Three of them are individuals who have recovered from orthorexia, three of them have recovered from another type of eating disorder, three of them are social workers (two of them work with individuals who struggle with eating disorders), and three of them are other professionals who work (or have worked) with individuals who struggle with eating disorders. I explored the differences in perceptions of eating disorders (recognising the first signs of eating disorders, where to draw the line, where an eating disorder begins, its necessity, challenges) between all four groups (individuals recovering from orthorexia, individuals recovering from another type of eating disorder, social workers, and other professionals). I have found that the first signs of an eating disorder are recognised very late, practically where the line between eating disorder and healthy eating habits runs. It's important to stay alert, because that's how we can work on prevention. I also want to emphasise that we as experts need to listen more and work together with users. Research has shown that there are differences in perceptions of needs and challenges between individuals who have recovered from an eating disorder and experts in the field. The needs of individuals struggling with orthorexia are not significantly different from the needs of individuals struggling with other types of eating disorders. In addition, research has shown that orthorexia is not well known even among experts, so it is important to promote awareness of this disorder. I have also found that in Slovenia there is a lack of organisations working with people struggling with eating disorders and there are still many people who do not seek help. In addition, research has shown that what approach the expert has when working with people (that the individual feels accepted, safe and heard) is more important than their profession. Eating disorders are a very complex area, so we need to take a holistic approach when working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, focusing on all aspects of their lives, not just one. The results of the research are useful to me and I think they will also be useful to professionals working in this field.
