Turkey (Türkiye)81 participantsStarted 2024-11-25

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of cognitive-behavioral and motivational interview-supported psychoeducation on emotional eating and psychological resilience in obese individuals. The study will be conducted with a randomized controlled experimental design. The sample of the study will consist of 102 obese individuals in total, 51 in the experimental group and 51 in the control group, who meet the inclusion criteria. A cognitive-behavioral and motivational interview-supported psychoeducation program will be applied to the experimental group. All patients will be evaluated at three time points: pre-test (baseline), post-test (8 weeks), and follow-up test (3 months after the post-test). No intervention will be applied to the control group. The Emotional Eating Scale and Psychological Resilience Scale will be used as data collection tools in the study. As a result of the study, the hypothesis that the cognitive-behavioral and motivational interview-supported psychoeducation program is effective in reducing the emotional eating levels of obese individuals and increasing their psychological resilience levels will be tested. The findings of the study will contribute to the importance and effectiveness of psychological approaches in the treatment of obesity.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
