. This study investigated whether women experience self-presentational concerns related to rehabilitation settings and explored preferences for characteristics of the social and physical treatment environment in relation to women's Social Physique Anxiety (SPA). . Two cross-sectional studies were conducted. In Study 1, female undergraduate students ( = 134) completed four questionnaires (Social Physique Anxiety Scale; three bespoke questionnaires assessing self-presentation in rehabilitation and social and physical environment preferences) with respect to hypothetical rehabilitation scenarios. Study 2 recruited injured women who were referred for physiotherapy ( = 62) to complete the same questionnaires regarding genuine rehabilitation scenarios. . Women with high SPA showed less preference for physique salient clothing than women with low SPA in both hypothetical ( = 0.001) and genuine settings ( = 0.01). In Study 2, women with high SPA also preferred that others in the clinic were female ( = 0.01) and reported significantly greater preference for private treatment spaces ( = 0.05). . Self-presentational concerns exist in rehabilitation as in exercise settings. Results indicated inverse relationships between women's SPA and preference for the presence of men, physique-enhancing clothing, and open-concept treatment settings. Future studies to determine the effect of self-presentational concerns on treatment adherence are needed.
本研究调查了女性是否存在与康复环境相关的自我呈现方面的顾虑，并探讨了与女性社交体型焦虑（SPA）相关的社会和物理治疗环境特征的偏好。进行了两项横断面研究。在研究1中，134名女性本科生就假设的康复场景完成了四份问卷（社交体型焦虑量表；三份定制问卷，评估康复中的自我呈现以及社会和物理环境偏好）。研究2招募了被转介接受物理治疗的受伤女性（62名），就真实的康复场景完成相同的问卷。在假设场景（p = 0.001）和真实场景（p = 0.01）中，高SPA女性比低SPA女性对凸显体型的服装的偏好更低。在研究2中，高SPA女性还更希望诊所里的其他人是女性（p = 0.01），并且报告对私人治疗空间的偏好明显更高（p = 0.05）。与运动环境一样，康复中也存在自我呈现方面的顾虑。结果表明，女性的SPA与对男性在场、凸显体型的服装和开放式治疗环境的偏好之间存在负相关关系。未来需要开展研究来确定自我呈现方面的顾虑对治疗依从性的影响。
