Why GSH?
Ability to reach more clients Earlier intervention Cost effective Group benefits
Social support Reduction of shame
Evidence based practiceMaintain gains

Now to our NZ study!
![Page 6: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How was this study different?
Mixed age groups
Support person
Investigated motivation

What it is not!
Not a RCT
Large sample size
Did not use the EDE to assess features of the ED
No medium or long term follow up
![Page 8: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Overview of the project 39 Participants (BN and EDNOS)
All women between 13-39 years of age
Majority identified as New Zealand European
77% of the women had co-morbid diagnoses
All participants were asked to attend with a support person
![Page 9: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Overview of the project cont.
All participants attended one of five consecutively run GSH groups Initially a 8 x 90 min session programme,
supported by a take-home manual. Based on Fairburn’s (1995) GSH model
Extended to a 10 week programme, preceded by three weeks of psycho-education and three follow-up sessions
GSH facilitated by two clinical psychologists
28 completed the programme

How did we measure change?
Key symptoms were assessed pre- and post-treatment by the SEED (Bauer Winn, Schmidt & Kordy,2005)
Motivation to change was assessed by an adapted version of the ‘To change or Not to Change’ Questionnaire (Rollnick, Morgan& Heather, 1996).
![Page 11: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What were we hoping to find out?
Main aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the programme
And answer some key questions
![Page 12: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What were we hoping to find out? Some of our Key Questions:
Is there a reduction in BN and EDNOS symptoms at the end of the programme?
And is there a difference depending on age?
Will the presence of a support person impact on the BN and EDNOS symptoms?
Will motivation change as a result of completing the GSH programme?
Can we detect any difference between those who completed the programme vs. non-completers?

Changes in SEED scores
Overall the BN score reduced from 2.22 1.57 p= .0001
For participants 19 and over 2.30 1.72 p=.001
For participants 18 and under 2.05 1.25 p=.0001

Effects of having a support person
BN index on the SEED with support person 2.21 1.59 p=.0001
Motivation scores with a support person 19.08 22.82 p=.0001
![Page 15: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Differences in motivation
Overall, the total sample made improvements in their motivation
Age discrepancies in Q1(How motivated are you to change?)
No significant improvement in either sub-group for Q3 (How ready are you to change?)

Completers vs. Non-Completers
Mean durationCompleters 64.07 months vs. Non-
Completers 82.36 months (p=0.04)
Support person 82% Completers vs. 46% Non-completers
(p=0.02)
Medication 57% Completers vs. 82% Non-Completers
(p=0.02)

Group Evaluation
87% found the format of the GSH suited their needs
Qualitative feedback Like to talk more about effects on siblings and
family and triggers More dietary advice More time for group discussions More one-to-one help GSH has given me the confidence to change GSH has given me a more positive outlook on life
![Page 18: Evidence based practice in New Zealand; an evaluation of the effectiveness of a GSHprogramme, Maria Sampson](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062707/5585e3a5d8b42a7c428b5350/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Practical Implications Significant improvements from GSH!
Consider who GSH is most useful for (age, duration, meds etc)
Impact of the support person and mixed age groups.

Possibilities for future GSH research in NZ
Larger sample
Medium and long term follow up
RCT
Qualitative work
