The aims of the service evaluation were to examine the effectiveness of multi-family therapy for anorexia nervosa (MFT-AN) on family relationships, as well as to understand families' experiences of MFT in a specialist child and adolescent eating disorders service between 2013-2021. Mixed-methods were used (t-tests and reflexive thematic analysis). Delivery was in-person in 2013-2019, and moved online from 2020 due to COVID-19. Responses from a total of 57 families and 190 people were analysed. MFT improved family functioning from pre-to post MFT as measured by the Systemic Clinical Observation in Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15). Sub-group analysis by family roles showed that at four-month follow-up, the effects were no longer significant among parents. On the contrary, preliminary analysis showed that although young people did not report any improvement at post-intervention, family functioning was reported to increase at follow-up. Four themes were constructed: being together as a family and as a group; individuality: everyone's recovery is different; MFT as an emotion 'hotpot', and in-person versus virtual groups: not a one-size-fits-all. More robust follow-up data are needed to ascertain the effects of online MFT-AN.

2013 年至 2021 年儿童和青少年饮食失调专业服务中厌食症群体多家庭治疗的服务评估。

服务评估的目的是检查神经性厌食症多家庭治疗 (MFT-AN) 对家庭关系的有效性，以及了解 2013 年至 2013 年期间家庭在儿童和青少年饮食失调专业服务中接受 MFT 的经历。 2021 年。使用混合方法（t 检验和反思主题分析）。2013 年至 2019 年期间，送货方式为面对面送货，但由于新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情，从 2020 年起改为在线送货。总共分析了 57 个家庭和 190 人的回应。根据常规评估中的系统临床观察 (SCORE-15) 的测量，MFT 从 MFT 之前到之后改善了家庭功能。按家庭角色进行的亚组分析表明，在四个月的随访中，父母的影响不再显着。相反，初步分析表明，尽管年轻人在干预后没有报告任何改善，但据报告家庭功能在后续行动中有所改善。构建了四个主题：作为一个家庭和一个团体在一起；个性化：每个人的恢复情况不同；MFT 作为一种情感“热点”，以及面对面与虚拟团体：不是一刀切的。需要更可靠的后续数据来确定在线 MFT-AN 的效果。
