Sažetak

The causes of eating disorders are associated with biological, psychological and
sociocultural factors which lead to changes in patterns of behavior that can get
out of control. In people with eating disorders usually occurs dissatisfaction
with their appearance and personal dissatisfaction in general. Eating disorders
appear gradually, the person enters a vicious circle of overeating, starvation, vomiting
and abuse of pills. The biggest problem in eating disorders is in not recognizing
the above difficulties or denying the existence of the problem which
leads to impaired physical and mental condition with a poor disease outcome.

treatment and prevention options from a nursing perspective. The paper
presents specific eating disorders - anorexia, bulimia and overeating, as well
as the most common nonspecific eating disorders: pregorexia, orthorexia, diabulimia
and drunkorexia. The role of the nurse is important in educating and
preventing eating disorders, raising awareness of the problem, educating about
possible risk factors associated with eating disorders and harmful habits, providing
psychological support and assistance in resolving fears and problems,
assessing and monitoring the health of patients. These eating disorders most
often occur in adolescents, younger women although its occurrence is also possible

of eating disorders negatively affect the health of patients. Cooperation

the wider community. Eating disorders require long-term treatment. There are
various reasons for the occurrence of eating disorders, and accordingly, it is necessary
to approach each patient individually and holistically. Eating disorders
