Resumen

Es esencial considerar los trastornos alimentarios, como el trastorno por atracón, antes de proceder con una intervención bariátrica.  Sin embargo, la mayoría de las intervenciones psicológicas se centran en la conciencia de los estímulos del hambre en lugar de en la emoción detrás de ellos. El presente estudio explora la eficacia de una intervención de Terapia Cognitiva Basada en Mindfulness (MBCT) adaptada a una muestra mexicana y enfocada en la regulación emocional para reducir los síntomas del trastorno por atracón. En este estudio participaron seis pacientes con obesidad candidatos a cirugía bariátrica. Se evaluaron los niveles de atención plena, regulación emocional y episodios de atracones semanales, utilizando un diseño de línea de base múltiples entre los participantes. Los resultados mostraron un aumento en los niveles de atención plena y regulación emocional, así como una reducción significativa en la cantidad de atracones semanales, que se mantuvo en la evaluación posterior al tratamiento a los 3 y 7 meses. Se encontró que esta intervención, no sólo es efectiva, sino que también abre espacio a la posibilidad de que el MBCT enfocado a resolver el problema detrás de los atracones, específicamente la regulación emocional, pueda generar un cambio en menos tiempo
