Summary
This study looks at factors like treatment expectations, sense of autonomy, and patient participation in 100 people with difficult-to-treat anorexia nervosa receiving inpatient care. Researchers will also examine caregivers' attitudes toward autonomy. The goal is to gather knowledge that could improve how severe eating disorders are treated in hospital settings.
