چکیده

هدف از پژوهش حاضر بررسی نقش میانجی تصویر بدن در ارتباط پیوند والدینی با اختلالات خوردن در دانش‌آموزان دختر بود. طرح پژوهش حاضر از نوع توصیفی و همبستگی بود . بدین منظور نمونه‌ای به حجم 215 نفر از دانش‌آموزان دختر متوسطۀ دوم شهرستان بابلسر در زمستان سال تحصیلی 02-1403 به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی خوشه‌ای چندمرحله‌ای انتخاب شد. جهت اندازه‌گیری متغیرها از پرسش‌نامه‌های پیوند والدینی پارکر (Parker, et al., 1979)، ترس از تصویر بدن (Littleton, et al., 2005) و مقیاس تشخیص اختلال خوردن (Stice, et al., 2000) استفاده شد. جهت تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از ماتریس همبستگی و مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری بر روی نرم‌افزارهای SPSS24 وAMOS24 استفاده شد. یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد که پیوند با مادر به‌صورت مستقیم (0/19-=P<0/05, β) و با میانجی تصویر بدن اختلالات خوردن را پیش‌بینی نموده است (0/11-=P<0/01, β). اثر مستقیمی برای پیوند با پدر با اختلالات خوردن یافت نشد، اما پیوند با پدر نیز به‌صورت غیرمستقیم اختلالات خوردن را پیش‌بینی نموده است (0/09-=P<0/01, β) . بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش می‌توان برنامه‌های مداخله‌ای و توانمندسازی برای والدین و افراد در خطر به‌منظور اصلاح تصویر بدن و پیشگیری از اختلالات خوردن طراحی کرد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction
During adolescence, individuals experience significant changes in behaviors related to eating and body weight, often accompanied by concerns about weight, body shape, and dissatisfaction with body image. These changes, which commonly manifest during puberty, may indicate the onset of eating disorders. Eating disorders encompass a complex category of clinical conditions characterized by abnormal eating patterns, excessive concerns about body shape, and distorted perceptions of body image, significantly impairing both physical and psychological functioning. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) categorizes these disorders into three diagnostic classifications: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, providing a deeper description and understanding of each. These disorders primarily affect adolescent girls and young women, typically impacting individuals aged 13 to approximately 25-30 years. Non-clinical samples indicate that eating disorders affect 7.5% of adolescent girls and 2.1% of adolescent boys. Therefore, examining risk factors associated with eating disorders, particularly during the sensitive adolescent period, is of paramount importance for preventive interventions. Among these, parent-child relationships play a crucial role, influencing the psychological and social well-being of adolescents, often explored through attachment theory or parental bonding framework. The aim of the current study was to investigate the mediating role of body image in the relationship between parental bonding and eating disorders among female students.

Method
The present research was descriptive and correlational in nature. For this purpose, a sample of 215 female second-year high school students was selected from Babolsar city in the winter of the academic year 1403-02 using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. To measure the variables, the following questionnaires were employed: Parker Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker et al., 1979), Body Image Questionnaire (Littleton et al., 2005), and Eating Disorder Diagnosis Scale (Stice et al., 2000). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24 and AMOS version 24 software.
Results
The findings of the research indicated that maternal bonding can predict eating disorders both directly (β = -0.19, p < 0.05) and through the mediating role of body image (β = -0.11, p < 0.01). No direct effect was found for paternal bonding on eating disorders; however, paternal bonding can indirectly predict eating disorders (β = -0.09, p < 0.01).

Discussion
Based on the research findings, it appears that weak maternal bonding can independently predict eating disorders. Additionally, weak bonding with both mother and father can create vulnerabilities in body image development, thereby setting the stage for the onset of eating disorders. Therefore, from a practical standpoint, intervention and empowerment programs can be designed for parents and at-risk individuals to improve body image and prevent eating disorders.
