Trainee’s Perspectives on Eating Disorder Training Delivered via Videoconference

Matthew Kelson & Leah Brennan

This study examines mental health professionals’ views on videoconference-delivered training for evidence-based eating disorder interventions. Using a qualitative research design (SRQR), six participants from diverse healthcare settings were recruited through research networks and social media. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis revealed both benefits - cost-effectiveness, accessibility, time efficiency, and global collaboration - and challenges, including reduced interpersonal interaction, screen fatigue, and technical difficulties.

​

Findings contribute to optimising videoconference training, improving its acceptability and accessibility while addressing barriers to engagement. This research informs strategies to enhance clinician education and expand access to evidence-based treatments for individuals with eating disorders in Australia.
