Exposición a contenido fitness en redes sociales y su relación con las conductas alimentarias: Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This degree project addresses the issue of eating behaviors in adolescents and young adults, which were detected during clinical psychology practicums. Based on these observations, a research question was formulated, and an evidence-based systematic review was developed to analyze the relationship between exposure to fitness content on social media and eating behaviors. The reviewed studies provided partial evidence of this association, with two of the five included studies reporting a link between exposure to fitness content and eating behaviors. Based on these findings, a clinical case study of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with restrictive-type anorexia nervosa, was presented, including identifying data, the reason for consultation, assessment, and psychological treatment plan. The correlation between both variables facilitated the adaptation of the case from an integrative approach. This work fostered the integration of theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, grounding the intervention in an ethical and rigorous approach toward the psychosocial factors that impact the mental health of the young population.
