The aim of the present study was to determine the association between body image and psychological wellbeing during pregnancy.
This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 320 pregnant women who were referred to health centers in Isfahan, Iran, during 2016 and had the inclusion criteria. They were selected by nonprobability convenient sampling. Data were gathered using standard psychological wellbeing and body image satisfaction questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software by descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
The results showed that the mean (SD) score of psychological wellbeing among participants was 77.50 (10.10) and their mean (SD) score of satisfaction with body image was 89.30 (14.60). Moreover, the results revealed a positive and significant relationship between the scores of psychological wellbeing and body image satisfaction (r=0.354, <0.001). The results of regression analysis showed that the two variables of self-acceptance ( = 5.6, <0.001) and personal growth ( = 2.06, = 0.04)) can predict body image in pregnant women.
The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between body image satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. Therefore, the training of positive attitude with respect to body image or increasing the level of knowledge on psychological wellbeing can create a positive cycle for these variables, and thus, make the pregnancy more enjoyable and acceptable.
本研究的目的是确定孕期身体意象与心理健康之间的关联。
本描述性相关性研究对2016年期间转诊至伊朗伊斯法罕健康中心且符合纳入标准的320名孕妇进行。采用非概率方便抽样法选取研究对象。使用标准的心理健康和身体意象满意度问卷收集数据。采用社会科学统计软件包通过描述性和推断性统计方法对数据进行分析。
结果显示，参与者心理健康的平均（标准差）得分为77.50（10.10），其身体意象满意度的平均（标准差）得分为89.30（14.60）。此外，结果显示心理健康得分与身体意象满意度之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.354，P < 0.001）。回归分析结果表明，自我接纳（β = 5.6，P < 0.001）和个人成长（β = 2.06，P = 0.04）这两个变量可预测孕妇的身体意象。
研究结果显示身体意象满意度与心理健康之间存在显著正相关。因此，培养对身体意象的积极态度或提高心理健康知识水平可为这些变量创造一个积极的循环，从而使孕期更加愉快且易于接受。
