This study investigated the comparison of abuse experiences and mindful eating in women with high body mass index with and without binge eating disorder and women with normal weight. This study was descriptive with comparative design. The study population consisted of women referring to two nutrition counseling centers in Rasht in ۱۴۰۰. The sample consisted of ۱۷۹ women who were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected using Stice's Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (۲۰۰۰), Bernstein's Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (۲۰۰۳), and Framson's Mindful Eating Questionnaire (۲۰۰۹). Results of univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance showed that the abuse experiences in overweight and obese women with binge eating disorder were higher than overweight and obese women without the disorder and in both groups were more than normal weight women. Women in the binge eating group had lower scores in mindful eating than women without the disorder, and both groups had lower scores than normal-weight women, even when controlling for age. According to the findings, abuse experiences and mindful eating have important role in the pathology of obesity, overweight and binge eating disorder. Designing educational/therapeutic programs aimed at reducing the psychological consequences of abuse and teaching mindful eating techniques can be helpful.
