CBT-based and Motivational Interviewing Supported Psychoeducation in Obese Individuals

The Effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Based and Motivational Interviewing-Supported Psychoeducation on Emotional Eating and Psychological Resilience in Individuals With Obesity

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Nov 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing-supported psychoeducation on emotional eating and psychological resilience in individuals with obesity. The study was conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design. The initial planned sample size was 102 individuals, with 51 participants allocated to each group. However, due to difficulties in participant recruitment, a subsequent power analysis was conducted, which indicated a minimum total sample size of 32 participants. Ultimately, 84 individuals who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into the experimental (n = 42) and control (n = 42) groups, and 81 participants completed the study (experimental: n = 40; control: n = 41). A cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing-supported psychoeducation program was applied to the experimental group. Participants were evaluated at three time points: pre-test (baseline), post-test (8 weeks), and follow-up test (2 months after the post-test). No intervention was applied to the control group. The Emotional Eating Scale and Psychological Resilience Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The study tested the hypothesis that the cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing-supported psychoeducation program would be effective in reducing emotional eating levels and increasing psychological resilience in individuals with obesity. The findings of the study may contribute to understanding the potential importance of psychological approaches in the treatment of obesity.
