抄録
Eating disorders are more socially stigmatized than other psychiatric disorders. In order to reduce social stigma and the stigma felt by patients themselves, awareness needs to be raised by people with eating disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the motives and influences of people with eating disorders who delivered a presentation in an online eating disorder campaign. Eight of the nine participants who made a presentation participated in this study. Results indicated that all the participants with eating disorders who made a presentation in the campaign felt positively about their participation. They cited positive reactions and empathy, new connections, opportunities to reach out to many people, and the opportunity for personal reflection as positive aspects. The only negative aspects were dissatisfaction and regret with the contents of the presentation given. Results revealed that people with eating disorders who talk about their own experiences in public are mainly motivated to help other people with eating disorders and to receive empathy and build connections for their own recovery.
