This article reports on a study of the perceived body image of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the relationship between body image and the severity of physical disability. Second and Jourard's Body-Cathexis Scale and Self-Cathexis Scale were used to measure satisfaction or dissatisfaction each person had with his body and self. Kurtzke's Status Disability Scale was used to determine each person's degree of physical disability. The sample consisted of 20 male veterans between 34 and 70 years of age (mean 47.6), who had MS for 7 to 44 years (mean 20.8) and a physical disability score of two to nine (mean 4.65). On the Body-Cathexis Scale, 55% (N = 11) were satisfied and 45% (N = 9) were dissatisfied with their bodies. Whereas on the Self-Cathexis Scale, 45% (N = 9) were satisfied and 55% (N = 11) were dissatisfied with self. Seven subjects (35%) were satisfied with both body and self and seven (35%) were dissatisfied with body and self. Subjects who were satisfied with body and self were older (mean 50.43 years), had MS longer (mean 22.57 years) and were more disabled (mean score 5.0). Implications for further nursing research are identified.
本文报道了一项关于多发性硬化症（MS）患者的身体意象认知以及身体意象与身体残疾严重程度之间关系的研究。使用了西科德和朱拉德的身体投入量表以及自我投入量表来测量每个人对自己身体和自我的满意或不满意程度。使用库尔茨克的残疾状态量表来确定每个人的身体残疾程度。样本包括20名年龄在34至70岁之间（平均47.6岁）的男性退伍军人，他们患MS的时间为7至44年（平均20.8年），身体残疾得分在2至9分之间（平均4.65分）。在身体投入量表上，55%（N = 11）的人对自己的身体感到满意，45%（N = 9）的人不满意。而在自我投入量表上，45%（N = 9）的人对自我感到满意，55%（N = 11）的人不满意。7名受试者（35%）对身体和自我都感到满意，7名（35%）对身体和自我都不满意。对身体和自我都感到满意的受试者年龄更大（平均50.43岁），患MS的时间更长（平均22.57年），残疾程度更高（平均得分5.0）。确定了对进一步护理研究的启示。
