Article Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of emotional eating and the influencing factors among clinical nurses in China.
Background: Emotions are closely associated with eating behaviours, and individuals' coping mechanisms for various emotions may manifest in their eating habits. Emotional eating may harm nurses' physical and mental health, ultimately affecting the quality of care.
Design: This is a cross-sectional survey study.
Methods: An online survey was conducted among clinical nurses in a tertiary hospital in China from September to November 2023 using a convenience sampling method. A basic demographic questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 were used.
Results: A total of 785 nurses participated and reported an overall emotional eating score of 12.08 (standard deviation = 4.63); 296 (37.7%) were in the high emotional eating group. Female gender, age 20-30 years, higher body mass index, work in the intensive care unit, family financial contribution ≤ 10 000 RMB, poor sleep quality and anxiety were risk factors for emotional eating among clinical nurses.
Conclusion: The study highlights a prevalent issue of emotional eating among clinical nurses, indicating a pressing need for timely intervention to improve physical and mental health.

Many Americans report having a concealable stigmatized identity (CSI) - when one belongs to a group that is devalued by society, but membership can be hidden - which is linked with poor health outcomes. One factor consistently linked with poor health among people with CSIs is anticipated stigma. The current study uses structural equation modeling to examine how responses to anticipated stigma (shame, spontaneous self-affirmation) explain the relationship between anticipated stigma and poor health.

Introduction: Emotion dysregulation is common in many different psychiatric disorders and it can be effectively treated with the well-established Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Despite its clinical relevance and increasing scientific interest, emotional dysregulation (ED) is sometimes conflated with emotional lability (EL). However, these constructs differ: ED involves top-down neurobiological processes, while EL involves bottom-up processes.

Parental psychological distress and accommodating and enabling behaviors may represent maintaining factors of anorexia nervosa (AN). However, very few studies included both parents; their interdependence is unknown. Using a dyadic approach, this study aimed to examine the relationship between parental psychological distress and accommodation at the admission of their child to specialized eating disorder programs, and their observation of their child's eating disordered behaviors 1 year later.
