This study explored the relationships of maturity fears and appearance interest(interest in appearance, interest in weight) with self-concept among girls with precocious puberty.
The participants for this study were 120 elementary school students (8 to 10 years old) and their parents from two hospitals located in Chungcheong Province. Data were collected from January to February 2019 using self-reported questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis in SPSS for Windows version 23.0.
Statistically significant negative correlations were found between self-concept and maturity fears (r=-.34, <.001) and interest in weight (r=-.29, =.001). Maturity fears were identified as a factor affecting the self-concept of girls with precocious puberty (β=-.34, <.001). This variable explained 11.5% of the variance in the self-concept of girls who experienced precocious puberty.
This study confirmed that maturity fears had a major influence on self-concept in girls with precocious puberty. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the development of a psychosocial nursing intervention program for girls who experience precocious puberty.
本研究探讨性早熟女孩的成熟恐惧和外表兴趣（对外表的兴趣、对体重的兴趣）与自我概念之间的关系。
本研究的参与者为来自忠清道两所医院的120名小学生（8至10岁）及其父母。2019年1月至2月使用自我报告问卷收集数据。在Windows版SPSS 23.0中，使用描述性统计、独立样本t检验、曼-惠特尼U检验、单因素方差分析、皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归分析对收集的数据进行分析。
自我概念与成熟恐惧（r = -0.34，p < 0.001）和对体重的兴趣（r = -0.29，p = 0.001）之间存在统计学上显著的负相关。成熟恐惧被确定为影响性早熟女孩自我概念的一个因素（β = -0.34，p < 0.001）。该变量解释了性早熟女孩自我概念中11.5%的变异。
本研究证实成熟恐惧对性早熟女孩的自我概念有重大影响。本研究结果可作为为性早熟女孩制定心理社会护理干预计划的基础数据。
