Synthesis Table
Introduction
The literature review summarizes the facts of the increasing eating disorders in young children that results in the emergence of various harmful diseases. The studies are prepared by different researchers to determine the intensity of eating disorders in young girls. It also synthesizes the responsibility of different types of professionals and practitioners working in nursing fields. The information collected from the previous studies is relevant for identifying the increasing trend in young girls, and also recommendations are provided those helpful for controlling this major issue.
Literature Review
Burton (2014) stated that eating disorder in the young adolescents is the major issue that may result in the mental disease such as Anorexia. The problem is not related to the specific class of people, but it is observed in different types of people living in different societies having respective cultural backgrounds. The issue is severe that should be addressed by practice nurses along with the professionals so that the chances or risks of the mental disease can be minimized immediately. The major problem is the lack of knowledge in the nurses who are entitled to serve medical guidance to young children. The disease is extensively found in young people having an age between 14 to 29 years. It is also observed that they may observe the effect after few years, but the disease had attacked them in early age (Burton, 2014). Girz, Robinson, & Tessier (2014) suggest that eating disorder is common in adolescents that need to control and managed by the physicians. The addition training and education are required for the treatment of the disease caused by the bad habit of eating harmful products. It has been observed through the survey that many physicians have provided training for less than five hours on this big issue. Although the provided training was effective in dealing with the situation, there is a need for additional training for creating the opportunities for treatment of this habit in girls’ adolescence (Girz, Robinson, & Tessier, 2014).
Milan & Acker (2014) state that there is a relationship between psychology and health as most of the adolescent girls became the victim of early attachment security due to the absence of their father or other security issues. The problem is the lack of security and knowledge in the early childhood that leads to the increasing habit of eating disorders in young girls. The survey provides evidence that many adolescents have this bad habit due to the problems of security and guidance in the early age (Milan & Acker, 2014). Snyder (2014) states that cases of mental disorder in young girls may increase due to the rising factor of eating disorder. The problem is not solely attributed to the physical health, but it put a direct impact on the mental health of girls. The habit can create different types of disorders in young adolescents who are unaware of the consequences of this habit. However, it can be controlled by providing effective training and knowledge to girls who are willing to maintain their physical and mental fitness (Snyder, 2014)
Herpertz-Dahlmann, Dempfle, Konrad, Klasen, & Ravens-Sieberer (2015) state that symptoms of eating disorders can be seen in young adolescents in their early age. It is noticed that these symptoms may result in the mental disorder of young adults and children. The problem requires tackling at the early age because of its adverse effects on the physical and mental health of a person. The concerned physicians should diagnose the problem at the early age to save adolescents from the big loss in future. Better treatment and immediate action can resolve the issue and also helpful in minimizing the risks of mental disorder in future (Herpertz-Dahlmann, Dempfle, Konrad, Klasen, & Ravens-Sieberer, 2015). Snyder (2014) explains that it is the problem that can spread to generations due to the genetic transfers from mother to children. It is noticed that the problem is severe in young women who are at the stage of giving birth to the child. There are numerous socio-cultural factors that put a direct impact on young children along with the mental and physical problems in young girls. There is a need of attention towards the issue, and optimal treatment should be provided by interdisciplinary team and family to resolve the issue (Snyder, 2014).
Summary
The above-provided literature shows that the problem is common in every society, and there is a need to address it at every forum. The issue of eating disorder relates to the childhood of girls and they need to acknowledge the solutions for getting rid of this bad habit. It is the responsibility of medical and health providers to minimize the risk of increasing disease for the sake of securing the future of young adults and coming generation. Physicians and medical teams are required to tackle the problems that can cause a big disease for young girls and their unborn children. The reproductive system should be protected by hospitals and healthcare institutions to fulfill their general responsibilities.
