Sienkiewicz ME, Iverson KM, Smith BN, et al. - Studies have suggested a negative influence of eating disorders (EDs) on occupational functioning and their possible association with employment status. Researchers herein examined female veterans, who tend to have high rates of EDs and unemployment, for the correlation between transdiagnostic ED symptoms and occupational functioning and employment status. A total of 198 female veterans (M_age = 54.09) in the New England region who participated in a larger study, were assessed in this study. Researchers herein analyzed participants' completed survey that included the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, employment status (employed vs. unemployed and out of the workforce), and the Inventory of Psychosocial Functioning to assess occupational functioning. High levels of being out of the workforce and ED symptomatology were described by the female veterans. No impact of ED symptoms on employment status was observed among female veterans. Findings revealed a negative correlation of ED symptoms with occupational functioning. Depression was identified as mediating the correlations between ED symptoms and employment outcomes.
