Body image involves perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs concerning one's body, while body schema involves the sensorimotor capacities to control movement and posture. A review study is needed to obtain sufficient data to determine the effect of body awareness on the normal development of children. This study is a systematic review of interventions related to body awareness among typically developing children. Studies focusing on interventions related to body awareness from 2010 to 2021 were analyzed and extracted from four major scientific databases, and the three that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Methods were analyzed by frequency, and the results were analyzed by calculating effect sizes. Two studies involved a nonrandomized two-group design and a single-case experimental study. Two studies targeted early childhood, and one study focused on middle childhood. This review indicates that determining the effectiveness of interventions related to body awareness is necessary for typically developing children because body awareness is a potential influencing factor in their development. Additional research is needed to determine the effectiveness of body awareness assessment tools and interventions.
身体意象涉及对自身身体的感知、态度和信念，而身体图式则涉及控制运动和姿势的感觉运动能力。需要进行综述研究以获取足够的数据，以确定身体意识对儿童正常发育的影响。本研究对正常发展儿童的身体意识干预进行了系统综述。从四大科学数据库中分析并提取了 2010 年至 2021 年与身体意识相关的干预研究，并对符合纳入标准的三项研究进行了分析。方法按频率进行分析，结果按计算效应大小进行分析。两项研究涉及非随机两组设计和单一案例实验研究。两项研究针对幼儿期，一项研究针对儿童中期。本综述表明，确定与身体意识相关的干预措施的有效性对于正常发展的儿童是必要的，因为身体意识是其发展的潜在影响因素。需要进一步研究来确定身体意识评估工具和干预措施的有效性。
