Evidence shows interventions can improve positive body image in adult women. This systematic review examined the evidence of efficacy of interventions that aimed to increase positive body image in children and young people aged under 18 years. The authors followed PRISMA guidelines for the review. Searches of CINAHL Plus, Medline, PsychINFO, Wiley Online Library, SCOPUS and grey literature were conducted up to February 2021 and identified 4171 papers. Thirteen studies evaluating 12 interventions, designed for children/adolescents aged 9-18 years, were eligible and evaluated using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool. The studies evaluated body appreciation, body-esteem, and embodiment. Studies using cognitive dissonance, peer support, and psychoeducation had evidence of improving body appreciation and body-esteem in adolescent girls. However, evidence of efficacy for younger children and boys was lacking and the studies ranged in methodological quality. Further research should rigorously evaluate positive body image interventions using second-generation measures that assess specific components of positive body image and consider how to promote positive body image in young children and boys.
证据表明,干预措施可以改善成年女性的积极身体形象。本系统评价考察了旨在增加 18 岁以下儿童和青少年积极身体形象的干预措施的有效性证据。作者遵循 PRISMA 指南进行了综述。截至 2021 年 2 月,对 CINAHL Plus、Medline、PsychINFO、Wiley Online Library、SCOPUS 和灰色文献进行了检索,共发现 4171 篇论文。评估了 12 项干预措施的 13 项研究符合条件,这些研究针对 9-18 岁的儿童/青少年设计,并使用有效公共卫生实践项目 (EPHPP) 质量评估工具进行了评估。这些研究评估了身体欣赏、身体自尊和体现。使用认知失调、同伴支持和心理教育的研究有证据表明可以提高青春期女孩的身体欣赏和身体自尊。然而,对于年幼的孩子和男孩的证据缺乏,而且研究的方法质量参差不齐。进一步的研究应该使用第二代措施严格评估积极身体形象干预措施,这些措施评估积极身体形象的特定组成部分,并考虑如何促进幼儿和男孩的积极身体形象。
