- Internet-based aftercare program for patients with bulimia nervosa in Mexico - A pilot study Claudia Unikel Marisol Sánchez Eva Trujillo Stephanie Bauer Markus Moessner Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) ACTUA Mexico Aftercare Internet based Eating disorders High rates of relapses are common in eating disorder patients after achieving the status of remission. The lack of support after completing a treatment can contribute to relapse. Therefore aftercare programs are needed to maintain the benefits of treatment, to reduce the risk of relapse, and to stabilize patients’ well-being. This paper describes the Internetbased aftercare program ACTUA (Continued Support for Eating Disorders) developed to support patients with bulimia nervosa in Mexico. ACTUA is an adaptation of the program EDINA (Internetbased maintenance treatment for eating disorders) which was developed and evaluated in Hungary. In this paper we first describe the intervention which consists of different modules including a monitoring and feedback tool, forums, and counseling chat with a clinician. In the second part, we report on first experiences following the introduction of the program in two treatment centers in Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City). Fifteen patients participated in a semi-structured interview assessing perceived benefits of participating in ACTUA as well as barriers that prevented patients from joining the program. Implications for the implementation of Internet-based interventions in Mexico are discussed. 2015 artículo científico 2007-1523 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=425741623008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4257 Revista Mexicana de Trastornos Alimentarios application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Trastornos Alimentarios (México) Num.1 Vol.6
