This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an online support program for caregivers of teenagers with anorexia nervosa. The program combines two evidence-based approaches: Family-Based Treatment, which teaches you how to support your loved one's recovery, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, which help you manage stress and communicate better. You'll attend 12 weeks of online group sessions to learn practical tools for reducing caregiver burden and emotional distress.
Caring for a teenager with anorexia nervosa is extremely demanding and often leaves caregivers feeling exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed. While caregivers play a crucial role in recovery, there are very few programs designed specifically to support their wellbeing—especially in China. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether combining these two therapeutic approaches can meaningfully reduce the stress caregivers experience.

You'll join an online support group that meets weekly for 12 weeks. You'll learn practical skills and strategies to manage stress, support your loved one's recovery, and improve communication with your family. The study will ask you to complete questionnaires at the start, at 4 and 8 weeks, at the end of the program (week 12), and again at 1 month and 3 months after the program ends to measure whether you're feeling less burdened and stressed.
