Att leva nära en person med en ätstörning är förknippat med känslor av frustration, börda och skuld. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva familjens upplevelse av att leva nära en person med en ätstörning. Litteraturstudien var av kvalitativ ansats där författarna använde sig av en manifest innehållsanalys. Efter analysen framkom fem slutkategorier: att tvivla på och skuldbelägga sig själv som familjemedlem, att anpassa sig och omprioritera inom familjen till följd av sjukdomen, att känna behov av mer information och stöd kring sjukdomen, att uppleva förändringar i relationer mellan familjemedlemmar och att uppleva en emotionell berg- och dalbana till följd av sjukdomen. Det var vanligt att som förälder beskylla sig själv för sjukdomen.

Suicide research has a long tradition within sociology. Parallel to the Durkheimian tradition, seeking the causes of suicide in societal factors, a more cultural understanding of suicide has been emphasized. Attitudes to suicide have been stressed as important for the understanding of suicide mortality levels in different societies. For Russia, where suicide mortality levels are among the highest in the world, an understanding of this kind might be of particular importance.Based on a survey study from Moscow 2004, attitudes to suicide were studied in relation to social, economic and demographic factors as well as to attitudes to other morally disputable behaviors. Suicide attitudes in different age and sex groups in the sample were further compared to suicide mortality levels in the corresponding groups in the population.
