Introducción: La malnutrición por exceso causa sobrepeso y obesidad, siendo un problema de salud pública, que se ha presentado en los primeros años de vida. Investigaciones realizadas han informado la existencia de insatisfacción corporal relacionada con el peso, debido a los estándares de belleza establecidos en la sociedad. Objetivo: asociar el índice de masa corporal con la insatisfacción corporal y percepción de la imagen corporal de los escolares. Materiales y métodos: estudio transversal con 610 escolares. El estado nutricional se clasificó según el puntaje z del IMC. Para determinar la insatisfacción corporal y la percepción de la imagen corporal, se aplicó una escala de imagen corporal infantil de siete fotografías, con un valor del 1 al 7 de acuerdo con el tamaño creciente, y el rango final del IMC. Se calculó la diferencia entre la figura que los participantes consideraron ideal y la forma corporal percibida. Resultados: el 47,3% presentaron sobrepeso y obesidad. La insatisfacción corporal fue mayor en las niñas con sobrepeso y obesidad (p = 0,013). El IMC correlacionó con la insatisfacción corporal (rho(608) = 0,480; p < 0,001) y la percepción de la imagen corporal (rho(608) = 0,433; p < 0,001). Conclusiones: El IMC se relacionó positivamente con la insatisfacción corporal y la percepción de la imagen corporal; esto podría elevar el riesgo de presentar trastornos alimentarios, contribuir al mantenimiento del exceso de peso corporal, al no percibirse con exceso de peso, es menos probable que realicen acciones para controlarlo.

Background: Body image concerns during pregnancy can lead to a number of problems. Understanding these concerns can help health professionals improve health care for pregnant women. Objective: Translate, adapt, and validate the Body Image Concerns During Pregnancy Scale for the Portuguese population (Escala de Preocupação com a Imagem Corporal Durante a Gravidez - EPICDG). Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 231 pregnant women. The psychometric properties of the EPICDG were assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The fit indices of the Portuguese 21-item version were identical to those of the original scale. The four-dimension model had the best fit (X2(176) = 446.320; p < 0.001, X2df = 2.536; CFI = 0.91; TLI = 0.89; GFI = 0.86; RMSEA = 0.077, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The results show that the EPICDG has adequate psychometric properties for assessing body image concerns during pregnancy in the Portuguese population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Body image is a plural and probabilistic concept that has been investigated from different perspectives in an interdisciplinary literature. This study argues that the plural history of body image definitions and assessments contributed to the emergence of a solid scientific literature on the topic, without divergent definitions preventing the dialogue concerning methods and conceptual models of research. Additionally, it points out possible paths for integrating body image literature based on theoretical models of body representation and technological advances in the area. One possible path for advancing body image research involves specifying the concept at different levels of evidence and/or awareness related to satisfaction, perception and attention toward bodies.

This article aimed to understand the therapeutic process provided by a short-term interventional practice centered on people with body self-esteem and self-image problems. Following a qualitative methodological design, the research and therapeutic interventions took place under the influence of the action research design. The following stages were used: planning the therapeutic process in light of the necessary and sufficient conditions for personality change and the therapeutic process phases; development of aid practice; action monitoring based on supervision, service review and semi-structured interviews with the participants; empirical phenomenological analysis of the affective impacts of therapy from the perspective of the clients assisted; understanding of this from the Rogerian framework. The following thematic axes related to the therapeutic process were elaborated and discussed: factors that led to the search for psychological help and constituted the therapeutic atmosphere; negative meaning of bodily experience; real meaning of the self-esteem experience in relation to the body; changes in attitudes towards self-perception and self-care. It was concluded that person-centered therapy produces significant affective impacts that helped these clients to deal with their body image and self-esteem experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the role of the body and body image in the phenomenon of physical pain from J.-D. Nasio and Sylvie Le Poulichet. It addresses the status of the body through a phenomenon very present in contemporary subjectivities, as the problem of pain, such as the problem of pain. The affect of pain is little studied in psychosomatic schools, as well as in psychoanalysis. Nasio and Le Poulichet present their own perspectives on the process of pain and understanding of the body and image. They incorporated, each one in their own way, the legacies of the Freudian thought, as well as the Lacanian referential. For one of the authors, the body is more connected to the image and the identifications of the self, while for the other, the body is the place of an excess of sexual and narcissistic order.

This study aimed to investigate perceptions about attitudes related to self-acceptance of adolescents with visual impairment, with special attention to the context of Physical Education classes. Sixteen adolescents with visual impairment, of both genders, with a mean age of 17.31 years (standard deviation [SD] = 2.06) participated in this research. Participants were selected from schools in Rio de Janeiro, Ceará, Paraná, São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Paraíba. Data collection was performed with semi-structured online interviews. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Three categories emerged and were discussed: (1) self-acceptance it was identified that the acceptance of disability is an important aspect related to the construct; (2) school environment and selfacceptance - situations such as bullying were evidenced, which are related to visual impairment; (3) school Physical Education and self-acceptance - self-acceptance is not an attitude commonly addressed in classes. The approach to self-acceptance in the school environment, especially in Physical Education classes, is essential for the integrated development of the body identity of visually impaired adolescents.

La institución escolar y su profesorado están integrando de forma acrítica y masiva materiales curriculares digitales en su praxis docente. Este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar si las imágenes de las apps, utilizadas para la mejora de la salud y el fitness, transmiten o legitiman estereotipos asociados al cuerpo: de género, raza, somatotipo o relacionados con la práctica de actividad física. También analizar las apps son adecuadas a la edad recomendada por los desarrolladores web o si están diseñadas por profesionales del ámbito de la educación físico-deportiva. Para ello, diseñamos un estudio descriptivo, comparativo, basado en el análisis de contenido, realizado sobre una muestra de 373 imágenes pertenecientes a 128 apps elegidas tras un proceso de selección PRISMA y una prueba piloto. Los resultados informan que los cuerpos que aparecen en las imágenes de las apps reproducen diversos estereotipos: de género, edad, raza o relacionados con la actividad física. También que las apps estudiadas no son diseñadas por personal especializado. Este trabajo puede orientar y sensibilizar a la comunidad educativa sobre la perspectiva de género y sobre los valores y los estereotipos que los materiales digitales, que introducimos en las aulas, pueden estar normalizando

In the interface between body and health, the body image expresses an instrumental conceptual notion of great value for the professional treatment with the subjects, since it comprises the multidimensional formation of the perception that they have about the constituent elements of their bodies. Thus, subjects dissatisfied with their body image present the need for assistance from health professionals equipped to deal with factors associated with this condition. Among such factors, unhealthy eating behaviors stand out, considered risk factors for the development of related disorders. Thus, the objective of this essay is to propose reflections that intend relationships between the process of building body image, eating behaviors and health education. For that, we started from a survey of data produced in the last decade on these themes for an analysis of cross- cutting themes that enable the discussion around risk factors associated with this situation. Therefore, the essay proposes itself as an invitation to reflection and instrumentalization about how each subject constitutes their body image, what relationships it establishes with eating behavior and how these themes are presented in the training context of health professionals. With this, the aim is to contribute to a basic understanding of the issues that pervade these themes, in order to raise awareness and support the action of these professionals in the face of identified cases, as well as incite further study on the theme.

La imagen corporal es un constructo complejo que consta, fundamentalmente, de tres dimensiones: perceptiva, cognitiva-afectiva y conductual. Los estudios psicológicos actuales estiman que la imagen corporal comienza a formarse en edades tempranas, y lo hace de formas diferentes en función del género, la etnia, la sexualidad y el grado de (dis)capacidad, entre otras variables. La importancia del concepto de imagen corporal estriba en su gran relevancia en la autoestima y en la génesis de problemáticas, muy incapacitantes y generadoras de gran sufrimiento, de la relación con el cuerpo y con la comida. Ello no incluye únicamente los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, como la anorexia o la bulimia nerviosas, u otras entidades nosológicas como el trastorno dismórfico corporal, sino un rango mucho más amplio y prevalente de problemas psicológicos causantes de gran malestar en la población y que tienen en común sentimientos de desagrado hacia el propio cuerpo y alteraciones en la relación emocional con la comida y con el propio cuerpo. La psicología ha demostrado la eficacia de determinadas intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales para la modificación en positivo de la imagen corporal, que además se ha logrado mantenido a largo plazo. Se discute el concepto de imagen corporal en relación con posturas ontológicas y epistemológicas diversas, incluyendo postulados (pos) construccionistas. Se propone una aproximación al intervencionismo en imagen corporal caracterizado por la normalización e higienización la relación que se tiene con el propio cuerpo, lo cual es entendido como una fuente de empoderamiento en el plano sociopolítico.

La (in)satisfacción corporal se enmarca en el componente subjetivo valorativo de la imagen corporal. Su estudio tiene una gran importancia en la actualidad dadas las numerosas y prevalentes manifestaciones psicológicas y somáticas de la relación disfuncional con el propio cuerpo. Se analiza aquí el fenómeno de la (in) satisfacción corporal desde una perspectiva sociocultural, cognitivoconductual y feminista. Se pone en relación con los conceptos de atractivo físico y deseabilidad, y se señala la superposición y contaminación mutuas entre el saber médico y los imperativos estéticos, subrayando las connotaciones económicas y políticas de los sistemas de producción y decodificación de significados. Se apunta a un análisis interseccional en el cual el cuerpo funciona como símbolo de pertenencia y adscripción a las normas, privilegios y restricciones. Se discuten variables psicológicas, producto de complejas interacciones entre mecanismos psicobiológicos y derivados de aprendizajes vitales, que son clave para la comprensión de la génesis de la (in)satisfacción corporal en el plano subjetivo individual. Se aborda la (in)satisfacción corporal desde una perspectiva feminista de la mano de conceptos como la conciencia de objetificación corporal o la identidad heterodesignada, y se conceptualiza la relación de la presión estética con otros tipos de opresión machista, proponiéndola como metáfora de lo que ocurre en el espacio público. Se conceptualiza la vivencia de la satisfacción corporal como una experiencia de plenitud y se subraya el inmenso, crucial y tangencial potencial sociopolítico que entraña la relación con el propio cuerpo y con los cuerpos de las demás personas.

Este artículo aborda un tema contemporáneo, pero con ecos del pasado. En efecto, los tatuajes que vemos hoy en los cuerpos que se exhiben en las calles y en las pantallas pertenecen tanto a la cotidianidad más reciente, que participa de un furor que algunos vinculan con los fenómenos de la moda en la sociedad de masas, como a un registro que se podría denominar arcaico en tanto remite a prácticas asociadas a contextos lejanos respecto de las metrópolis industrializadas. Situar al tatuaje entre el arcaísmo y la moda constituye una hipótesis de trabajo que se abordará por medio de un análisis conceptual de tipo ensayístico y recurriendo también a algunos dichos obtenidos en entrevistas con personas tatuadas y profesionales del tatuaje.

El objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer las relaciones existentes entre la práctica de Actividad Física y Deportiva, el Autoconcepto, la Imagen Corporal y los Hábitos Alimentarios en niños. Los participantes en este trabajo han sido n=209 (n=101 varones y n=108 mujeres) estudiantes de 5º y 6º de educación primaria matriculados en centros públicos del Principado de Asturias. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios C-PSQ y MBSRQ. Se han realizado pruebas estadísticas Descriptivas, Análisis de Fiabilidad, Estadístico de Levene, Pruebas t de Student, Análisis de Varianza y Correlación de Pearson. Los resultados obtenidos indican que realizan algún tipo de actividad física un alto porcentaje de niños, el 93%. El 67% realizan cuatro o cinco ingestas diarias. Las mujeres presentan valores más altos que los varones en la preocupación por el aspecto físico y muestran más diferencia que ellos entre cómo se ven y cómo les gustaría ser, considerando que se verían mejor con menos peso. Además, aquellos que realizan más actividad física se sienten más acordes con la idea de una buena imagen corporal y obtienen mayores puntuaciones en la mayoría los factores.

Objective: To reveal the meanings of illness due to laryngeal cancer of patients suffering from total laryngectomy. Methods: Case study supported by Clifford Geertz's Interpretation of Cultures, carried out from the High Complexity outpatient clinic in Oncology located in the city of Belém, Pará, Brazil, with a group of 11 men. Later visits were made to the participants' homes. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews, with subsequent inductive content analysis. Results: They were divided into two macro categories: "Experiences with the disease" and "Changes in social life, experiences with body image and enunciation". The first was related to signs, symptoms and seeking treatment for the disease, religious faith, the family as a support and the second to changes in social life, enunciation and body image. Conclusion: Forms of evaluation for hoarseness, the search for home remedies, support in religion and family and a feeling of incompleteness were revealed. In addition, conduct for vocal and social rehabilitation involves stimulating, adapting and combating anxiety and insecurity regarding the esophageal voice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabajo examina tres poemarios de Dulce María Loynaz, Versos, 1920-1938 (1938), Juegos de agua (1947) y Poemas sin nombre (1953) para pensar en una posible vigencia corporal y ver cómo hay poemas de Loynaz que se nutren de lo opuesto; o sea, una ausencia del cuerpo. La hablante lírica hace suya la idea para esbozar imágenes de cuerpos que tienen, como característica repetitiva, la referida ausencia corpórea. Como zócalo crítico, se sopesará una de las múltiples observaciones formuladas por Michel Foucault sobre el tema, con lo propuesto por Julia Kristeva acerca del dialecto resultante dentro de los límites textuales, tanto de significados como de significantes, y el establecimiento de un ritmo dentro de este límite. Estas ideas apoyan un análisis que intenta aproximarse a algunas composiciones de la poeta cubana.

The article is part of an empirical research about practices and meanings of the body in urban youth belonging to middle socioeconomic groups, residents in the Chilean cities of Santiago and Concepción, covering the years 2016 and 2017. The objective is aimed at problematizing results derived from fieldwork, fundamentally associated with the use of digital technologies that rectify and enhance the body image in front of others, in the context of what we call corpo-sphere here. The methodology corresponds to a cyberetnography; and the main findings discuss the tensions imposed by a new morality of aesthetic purity in social networks, identifying styles of corporal normalization and vanishing lines for the current juvenile worlds.

Body image is a widely studied construct and research in this area has grown in recent years. Nevertheless, adolescents with visual impairment need to be investigated. This systematic review aims to investigate studies that seek scientific evidence on the body image of adolescents with visual impairment. A systematic search of articles was carried out in four databases: Scopus, PsycInfo, PubMed and Web of Science. The recruitment of studies, without time restriction, was completed on June 8th, 2019. A total of 32 articles were included, which were carefully analyzed and classified into 4 categories: (1) psychosocial aspects of the body, (2) body concept, (3) physical activity/health (4) instruments for assessing body image and body dissatisfaction. Most of the studies included in this review demonstrated through scientific evidence that there are negative implications for the body image of adolescents with visual impairment, however, some findings are based on the limitations of the impairment, valuing the organic deficit. Studies that seek a biopsychosocial approach in the formation of positive body image in this population are necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are several studies focused on the analysis of body image in patients with eating disorder, however the role of the satisfaction with the body itself in non- clinical samples has been little studied. Objective: Describe the perception of body image in adolescents and young people between fifteen and twenty years old, without latent psychiatric diagnosis. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach based on the Grounded Theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to seventeen women. Results: The results are grouped into four descriptive categories: (1) Printing and meanings associated with body image; (2) Body image attitudes; (3) Body image preoccupation; (4) Body perception and demand for change. From all these, data analysis suggests an explanatory model for body dissatisfaction. Conclusions: We conclude that dissatisfaction is a common aspect between the two age groups. Nevertheless, the adolescent group evidenced a greater dissatisfaction, because their speeches indicate that general body dissatisfaction is a normalized aspect among people of their same age range. These conclusions could lead to the development of disease preventive guidelines in normal population.

Las condiciones de vida en las ciudades han traído oportunidades y espacio s de desarrollo, pero también han generado riesgos cotidianos. En ocasiones nos enfrentamos a eventos naturales que tienen un carácter de devastación. Pueden ser, por ejemplo: incendios, inundaciones, así como sismos, que son impredecibles y amenazantes. Estas situaciones las viven los niños/as con impotencia, se sienten desvalidos e incapaces, de ahí surge la importancia de proponer indicaciones para intervenciones psicológicas frente a eventos catastróficos. Este trabajo es fundamental para que los niños/as aprendan, en primer lugar, a preservarse a sí mismos y ayudar a otros y, en un segundo momento, generar acciones que les permitan significar estos eventos, intentando que puedan aprender sobre sus capacidades y esto devenga en una experiencia transformadora para el desarrollo de estrategias cognoscitivas, así como de recursos emocionales. El objetivo será, por tanto, evitar que la experiencia se constituya en algo traumático. Presentamos en este artículo la recuperación de dos experiencias de intervención con niños y niñas, incorporando la dimensión del cuerpo simbolizado hacia la expresión vía el arte y la palabra y considerando el eje de participación como un tema transversal en toda intervención. Se narra el trabajo con aquellos niños/as que sufrieron un gran incendio en Chile y a continuación las vivencias de los sismos en México.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi traduzir e adaptar culturalmente o Questionário de Atitudes Socioculturais em Relação à Aparência-4 (SATAQ-4) para a língua portuguesa e avaliar sua validade e confiabilidade quando aplicado a estudantes brasileiros. Realizou-se a validação de face, de conteúdo e pré-teste. Para a avaliação do índice de incompreensão, participaram do pré-teste 91 estudantes de três países de língua portuguesa (25 brasileiros, 37 portugueses e 29 moçambicanos). A validade de construto foi estimada utilizando-se estratégia confirmatória com os índices razão de qui-quadrado pelos graus de liberdade (χ²/gl), comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) e root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). A confiabilidade foi estimada. A invariância foi estimada para amostras independentes, para o sexo e presença/ausência de sobrepeso/obesidade. Todos os itens do SATAQ-4 foram compreendidos pelos estudantes do pré-teste. No estudo principal, participaram 1.051 universitários brasileiros (idade = 20,9 anos; DP = 2,4; 66,4% mulheres). O SATAQ-4 apresentou adequada validade (χ²/gl = 8,39; CFI = 0,98; TLI = 0,98; RMSEA = 0,08) e confiabilidade (alfa de Cronbach = 0,84-0,95) na amostra. O modelo apresentou invariância entre amostras independentes e foi não invariante segundo sexo e presença/ausência de sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclui-se que o SATAQ-4 é um instrumento válido e confiável para amostra de universitários brasileiros, sendo uma alternativa para a avaliação das atitudes socioculturais em relação à aparência nesta população.

Resumo Atualmente verifica-se uma alteração no perfil de morbimortalidade brasileiro. Diminuem as mortes por doenças infectocontagiosas e aumentam as mortes por doenças crônico-degenerativas, como o câncer. O diagnóstico de câncer representa a possibilidade de morte, que para alguns configura-se como realidade, não sendo raro que pacientes oncológicos estejam sob Cuidados Paliativos (CP). CP são uma abordagem que busca melhorar a qualidade de vida de pacientes e famílias que enfrentam uma doença ameaçadora da vida. Adoecimento e tratamento oncológico trazem intensa mudança no corpo e vida do paciente. Considerando que tais modificações podem ser causa de sofrimento, este estudo investiga efeitos psicológicos das modificações corporais decorrentes do adoecimento oncológico em pacientes sob CP. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter qualitativo. Foram entrevistados quatro pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer internados numa enfermaria de CP. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas, a análise dos dados baseou-se na análise do discurso. O discurso dos sujeitos evidencia que as mudanças corporais são potenciais geradoras de sofrimento, configurando-se também como disparadores para o tema da finitude. O estigma negativo ligado ao câncer também aparece, sendo que os CP recebidos contribuíram para o resgate da subjetividade dos entrevistados. Assim, este estudo sugere que a vivência do câncer no corpo repercute numa perda para além da física, numa perda de si. Sendo que, a incorporação das modificações corporais possibilita a reconstrução da visão que o paciente tem de si e este processo é facilitado pelo encontro intersubjetivo do paciente com os profissionais que cuidam singularmente dele.

Adolescence is a time marked by physical, psychological and behavioral changes, which may affect the perception of body image, besides being associated to an increased dissatisfaction towards the body image. The objective of this study was to verify the association between the perception and dissatisfaction towards the body image, and the nutritional status of teenagers in the state school. A cross-sectional study has been performed on female adolescents between 15 and 19 years old. Two instruments were used: the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Stunkard's Silhouette Scale, aside from an anthropometric evaluation. The study has analyzed 120 adolescents with an average age of 16±1,1 years old, showing a prevalence of dissatisfaction with the body image in 83,3%. Now, towards the perception of body image, 60% of the teenagers presented some degree of distortion. Given the discoveries, it has been concluded that most of the adolescents presented a Body Mass Index (BMI) within the ideal parameters, nevertheless, many of them considered themselves as dissatisfied with their own body image, that is, they presented a negative and distorted image of their own bodies, which may lead to the development of eating disorders.

In this paper we analyze the life history of a woman, as told in first person by herself and in third person by her partner, focusing on her worries about body image and how they affect various important aspects of her everyday life through the life cycle. Our materials are the respective biographic interviews to a 33-year-old woman and her partner, a 40-year-old man, where they storied her life paying special attention to body image and dissatisfaction issues. The analysis is structured into six emerging themes along both stories: “The gaze of the other and body exposure”, “Pregnancy”, “Modifying the body”, “Socio-cultural pressure”, “Masculine desire”, and “The silence dilemma”. We pay special attention to changes in positioning, feelings and habits with respect to the body along the life cycle, with key moments in teenage, and before, during and after a pregnancy. The analysis of biographies of non-diagnosed persons may help us understand various ways of positioning in the socio-cultural context of Western culture with respect to the body. At the same time, it may facilitate the development of actions to construct a critical view on context, contributing to women’s free elaboration of their identity and body experience.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o excesso ponderal em adultos jovens escolares a partir da dimensão individual da vulnerabilidade, especificamente de seus marcadores interpessoais e subjetivos. Método: delineou-se um estudo analítico, quantitativo, realizado com 560 adultos jovens de 26 escolas de uma capital do nordeste brasileiro. Após obtenção dos dados pela aplicação de questionários específicos, utilizou-se a regressão logística para identificação dos marcadores de vulnerabilidade individual. Resultados: na análise bivariada, o excesso ponderal apresentou associação estatística significativa com autopercepção de saúde, satisfação corporal e autopercepção de excesso ponderal, esta permanecendo no modelo final da regressão. Conclusão: conclui-se, sobremaneira, que a autopercepção de excesso ponderal sofre distorções em relação à real situação corporal e por isso torna o adulto jovem vulnerável a estados disfuncionais de saúde. No entanto, ratifica-se que o agravo deve ser compreendido numa perspectiva individual e contextual.

RESUMEN Este estudio exploró la correlación entre el bienestar subjetivo y la imagen corporal de las estudiantes mujeres en una universidad de Arequipa. La muestra estuvo constituida de 155 estudiantes mujeres entre los 17 y 24 años de las tres carreras profesionales. Las participantes fueron evaluadas en sus respectivos salones. La validación del Cuestionario de la Imagen Corporal (BSQ) fue calculada con Alfa de Cronbach y se obtuvo un valor de 0.92. Los resultados indicaron que existe una correlación negativa significativa entre el bienestar subjetivo y la imagen corporal (r = -0.478; p < 0.001). Asimismo, se indicó que no existe diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las carreras de administración y derecho con respecto al bienestar subjetivo (t = 0.201; p > 0.05) y a la imagen corporal (t = -0.606; p > 0.05). Esto muestra que la distorsión de la imagen corporal tiene un impacto negativo en el bienestar subjetivo de las estudiantes universitarias mujeres. ABSTRACT This study explored the correlation between subjective wellbeing and body image of female students at a university in Arequipa. The sample consisted by 155 female students between 17 and 24 years old from the three professional careers. The participants were evaluated in their respective classrooms. The validation of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha and obtained a value of 0.92. The results indicated that there is significant negative correlation between the subjective wellbeing and body image (r = -0.478; p < 0.001). It was also noted that there is no statistical significant difference between management and law careers with respect to the subjective wellbeing (t = 0.201; p > 0.05) and body image (t = -0.606; p > 0.05). This shows that the distortion of body image has a negative impact on the subjective wellbeing of women university students.

Resumo Objetivo: Relacionar a sensação de falta de adornos com a satisfação da imagem corporal e o autoconceito profissional dos membros da equipe de enfermagem. Métodos: Estudo analítico quantitativo. Profissionais da equipe de enfermagem (n = 46) responderam a Escala de Autoconceito Profissional, a Escala de Avaliação da Satisfação da Imagem Corporal e um questionário de caracterização. Resultados: O escore médio total da Escala de Autoconceito Profissional foi de 111,6 (± 13,3) e da Escala Avaliação da Satisfação com a Imagem Corporal foi de 81,6 (± 14,1). Houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas na comparação da sensação de falta de adornos nas dimensões Realização (valor de p = 0,0074), Autoconfiança (valor de p = 0,0386) e Saúde (valor de p = 0,0109) da Escala Autoconceito Profissional. Conclusão: Indivíduos mais realizados, mais autoconfiantes, que mais percebem a influencia do trabalho na própria saúde e mais satisfeitos com a aparência não sentiram falta de adornos no ambiente hospitalar.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal em sujeitos com cegueira, congênita e adquirida. Participaram da pesquisa 45 sujeitos com deficiência visual. Foi usado o questionário BSQ para verificar o grau de insatisfação com a imagem corporal e constatado que 24,4% das pessoas com deficiência visual apresentaram alguma insatisfação com a imagem do corpo. Esses dados não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas significativas. Conclui-se que os indivíduos cegos apresentam menos problemas de insatisfação corporal quando comparados com os resultados de estudos com videntes.

Resumo O estudo objetivou analisar a validade de construto, consistência interna e reprodutibilidade do Questionário de Mudança Corporal (QMC). Foram avaliados 439 meninas e meninos (13 a 22 anos). A validade de construto foi avaliada por meio da análise fatorial exploratória e correlações entre os escores do QMC, Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) e Escala de Silhuetas (ES). A confiabilidade foi acessada usando-se a consistência interna, e a reprodutibilidade pelo teste-reteste e pela correlação intraclasse. A escala apresentou estrutura fatorial composta por seis fatores, os quais representaram quase em sua totalidade as subescalas do instrumento. As correlações para a amostra total entre o QMC e as outras escalas variaram de 0,37 a 0,46. A consistência interna apresentou valores entre 0,78 e 0,96 para cada um dos fatores, e a correlação intraclasse foi condizente com uma boa reprodutibilidade. Os escores do teste-reteste não apresentaram diferenças significantes para a amostra total e entre os sexos. Conclui-se que o QMC apresenta boas qualidades psicométricas para os adolescentes brasileiros.

ResumoObjetivo:Conhecer a percepção da pessoa obesa sobre a imagem do corpo.Métodos:Pesquisa qualitativa realizada em ambulatório para acompanhamento de pessoas com excesso de peso, em Salvador - BA. Foram entrevistadas 19 pessoas com diagnóstico de obesidade. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de conteúdo temática.Resultados:Da análise emergiram 3 categorias: Ter um corpo depreciado revelando-o com feições deformadas, deterioradas, modulado fora dos padrões estéticos e morais; Sofrer o peso de viver um corpo obeso expressou o padecimento a interação com o corpo desfigurado e o mundo social; Ter identificação com o corpo revelou a sua aceitação, não havendo abatimento pelas pressões sociais sobre o padrão ideal de corpo.Conclusão:A percepção do corpo refletiu, sobretudo, uma imagem negativa acompanhada de tristeza, vergonha e isolamento. A obesidade afeta o bem-estar e, viver um corpo obeso demanda o exercício da aceitação em um meio que a considera um fracasso moral.

Body dissatisfaction can contribute to social, occupational and recreational losses, constituting a risk factor to health. This study aimed to evaluate the predictors of body dissatisfaction regarding demographic variables, media and life satisfaction among university students. The sample consisted of 321 participants older than 18 years. Body dissatisfaction, life dissatisfaction and media messages internalization were evaluated by Escala de Silhuetas para Adultos Brasileiros, Subjective Well-Being Scale and Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3, respectively. Data were collected by an online survey tool (SurveyMonkey®) and were analyzed using multiple linear regression. It was found that body dissatisfaction was positively related to inaccuracy in the perception of body size, Body Mass Index, life dissatisfaction, media messages internalization and television exposure. These findings evidence the importance of these predictors in the dynamics of body dissatisfaction, which support the development of preventive and treatment interventions.
