Recovery has been described as beginning with renewed self\u2010esteem.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative interview study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fourteen women were invited to participate; five women, between 23\u201326\u00a0years of age, who assessed themselves as healthy for at least 2\u00a0years agreed to take part in narrative interviews. Tape\u2010recorded interviews lasting 45\u201360\u00a0minutes (median 49\u00a0minutes) were conducted from February\u2013April 2010 and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The interviews revealed four themes in recovery from bulimia nervosa: feeling stuck in bulimia nervosa, getting ready to change, breaking free of bulimia nervosa and grasping a new reality, each comprising two or more subthemes. The process of recovery was not linear, but rather went back and forth between progress and relapse. The women expressed strong ambivalence about leaving the illness behind. An important part of their recovery was their ability to accept themselves. It was essential for their recovery to be supported in developing a unique explanation of the cause of their illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Women's ability to recover from bulimia nervosa and take control over their lives is based on their self\u2010efficacy. Effective care should therefore strive to strengthen women's beliefs in their own abilities, to instil hope for recovery and thus to bolster their self\u2010efficacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.12554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]],"date-time":"2014-10-23T04:29:14Z","timestamp":1414038554000},"page":"860-869","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["A qualitative study of young women's experiences of recovery from Bulimia Nervosa"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Britt\u2010Marie","family":"Lindgren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annika","family":"Enmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Bohman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mats","family":"Lundstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Ume\u00e5 University Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4278\/0890-1171-12.1.8"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"52","volume-title":"Advances in Psychological Science: Social, Personal and Cultural Aspects","author":"Bandura A.","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07399330802269543"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2004.03262.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/erv.400"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","first-page":"51","volume-title":"\u00c4tst\u00f6rningar [Eating Disorders]","author":"Clinton D.","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2850.2007.01055.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.20447"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2004.03284.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.627"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2003.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7748\/ns2004.02.18.22.33.c3546"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.10222"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-006-0123-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2850.2004.00712.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"881","DOI":"10.1017\/S003329170100407X","article-title":"Long term outcome of anorexia nervosa in a prospective 21\u00a0years follow\u2010up study","volume":"31","author":"Loewe B.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Psychological Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","volume-title":"Facilitating Transition after Child Sexual Abuse","author":"Loon A.","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4159\/9780674041141","volume-title":"Research Interviewing \u2013 Context and Narrative","author":"Mishler E.","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10640260600796234"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1800.2009.00436.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-2081(00)80008-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10640260802016696"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-108X(200005)27:4<428::AID-EAT7>3.0.CO;2-Y"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10640260008251227"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_26_1","volume-title":"Interpretation Theory.
