A review of the literature finds that everything concerning the body is a source of self-questioning. However, if a feeling of comfort or of discomfort is perceived within the body, it is difficult to quantify and to define this perception. This is because this feeling is multifactorial and characterized by behaviors and symptoms that are not explicit.
To resolve this perception, we created a self-reported questionnaire allowing for the estimation of "body satisfaction and global self-perception".
We present here the normative values collected with 788 subjects: 541 "non clinical" subjects and 247 "clinical subjects" consisting of inpatients hospitalized for major depressive disorder. In the "non clinical" group, the results show a good stability of scores. However, the female participants of this group have values (39.1) significantly (p<0.03) lower than the male participants (44.8). The evolution according to age showed a peak in physical satisfaction and of global self-perception between the age of 30 and 50. The score of this QSCPGS is very significantly (p<0.0001) higher in the "non clinical" group (43) than in the "clinical group" (-2); this confirms the good validity of the criterion. Finally, the average gains in the total score of the QSCPGS after a relaxation session with 34 depressed subjects are 23.7 (-12.2 before and 11.5 after).
This very significant advantage indicates that this questionnaire is sensitive to changes connected with a therapeutic intervention. The QSCPGS can thus be useful for the evaluation of body satisfaction or dissatisfaction as well as the mood associated with it; thus, it permits one to clarify the concept of well-being within "non clinical subjects" and to record the modifications provided by therapy, both at a physical level and a level of global self-perception. Future studies must now be submitted in different study groups such as: diverse pathologies, high level sportsmen, (etc.), this will allow us to gather information that will help establish specific therapies or effective preventative measures.
文献综述发现,与身体相关的一切都是自我审视的来源。然而,如果在身体内部察觉到舒适或不适的感觉,就很难对这种感知进行量化和定义。这是因为这种感觉是多因素的,其特征是行为和症状并不明确。
为了解决这种感知问题,我们创建了一份自我报告问卷,用于评估“身体满意度和整体自我认知”。
我们在此呈现了对788名受试者收集的常模值:541名“非临床”受试者和247名“临床受试者”,后者为由因重度抑郁症住院的患者组成。在“非临床”组中,结果显示分数具有良好的稳定性。然而,该组女性参与者的值(39.1)显著(p<0.03)低于男性参与者(44.8)。根据年龄的变化显示,身体满意度和整体自我认知在30至50岁之间达到峰值。这份QSCPGS的分数在“非临床”组(43)中非常显著地(p<0.0001)高于“临床组”(-2);这证实了该标准的良好效度。最后,34名抑郁症患者在进行一次放松训练后,QSCPGS总分的平均增益为23.7(训练前为-12.2,训练后为11.5)。
这一非常显著的优势表明,该问卷对与治疗干预相关的变化敏感。因此,QSCPGS可用于评估身体的满意或不满意程度以及与之相关的情绪;这样,它有助于阐明“非临床受试者”的幸福感概念,并记录治疗在身体层面和整体自我认知层面所带来的变化。现在必须在不同研究群体中开展进一步研究,如:各种病理情况、高水平运动员等,这将使我们能够收集有助于制定特定治疗方法或有效预防措施的信息。
