Background/Objectives: Eating disorders, characterized by severe disturbances in eating behavior, are a public health concern, particularly among young women. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the relationship between disordered eating attitudes and mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and somatization, among individuals with eating disorders. Methods: A total of 471 young German women hospitalized with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa participated in this study. Assessments were conducted at two points over a two-month interval using the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2) and the Patient Health Questionnaire. Regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of depression, anxiety, and somatization. The study controlled for socio-demographic segmentation using Sinus-Milieus, a social classification system, as a covariate. Results: Regression analyses revealed that interpersonal distrust and impulse regulation were significant predictors of subsequent depression. Impulse regulation strongly predicted subsequent anxiety, while both impulse regulation and social insecurity were strong predictors of subsequent somatization. The Neo-Ecological Milieu emerged as the most prevalent socio-demographic group (34.4% of participants). The Sinus-Milieus segmentation, however, did not significantly impact the health outcomes, suggesting consistent mental health issues across socio-demographic groups. Conclusions: This study’s findings underscored the role of disordered eating attitudes in predicting mental health outcomes among young women with eating disorders. Addressing these attitudes in therapeutic settings may help mitigate symptoms of not only the primary condition but also depression, anxiety, and somatization.

Background/Objectives: This study examines the attitudes of German hospice professionals toward physician-assisted suicide (PAS), focusing on ethical conflicts, emotional challenges, and institutional readiness within an unregulated legal context. Methods: A 2023 survey of 558 hospice workers used 13 closed-ended items to assess perspectives on PAS. Results: Latent class analysis identified subgroups based on shared response patterns. Three latent classes were identified, reflecting how hospice professionals might respond to the implementation of PAS in Germany: (1) “Low Conflict, Supportive Attitude”, referring to professionals likely to accept and support PAS with minimal ethical or emotional resistance; (2) “Moderate Conflict, Balanced Perspective”, describing professionals cautiously open to discussion but harboring notable ethical reservations; and (3) “High Conflict, Low Support”, encompassing professionals anticipated to face significant opposition and emotional challenges. Additionally, organizational readiness was reported as low (51.4%), alongside widespread concerns about increased workload and mental strain. Conclusions: Hospice professionals exhibit varied attitudes toward PAS, underscoring the importance of proactive measures should policymakers move toward its implementation. Ethical training, emotional support, and robust institutional frameworks will be essential to equip professionals for the challenges ahead.
