Patient education program (PEP) aims to help the patient acquire the skills necessary to manage a chronic disease. A multidisciplinary TPE program for adolescents with anorexia nervosa was developed in a daycare hospital setting. This qualitative study, exploring the experience of the caregivers involved in this program, reports the benefits but more so the difficulties linked to the clinical specificities of anorexia nervosa, as well as the numerous requirements, constraints and necessary adjustments linked to this innovative practice.
