BACKGROUND Obesity is an exponentially increasing public health problem all over the world. When obesity is treated, many healing states begin to occur in obese individuals. Stomach Botox is also frequently used among non-surgical treatment methods. This prospective study examined the relationship between psychological symptoms and self-esteem levels before and after stomach Botox treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS We administered a survey to gather baseline information, and used the form, Brief Symptoms Inventory and Rosenberg Self-Esteem scales. In total, 406 patients, including 369 females (90.9%) and 37 males (9.1%), participated in the research during February to August 2020. RESULTS Anxiety, negative personality, somatization, and hostility levels before Botox treatment were higher than after Botox treatment. Depression levels were higher after Botox treatment. Anxiety, somatization, and hostility increases were statistically significant (P<0.05). Depression and negative personality differences were insignificant (P>0.05). Before Botox treatment, all psychological symptom and self-esteem level correlations were insignificant (P>0.05). After Botox treatment, correlations between anxiety, negative personality and hostility levels with self-esteem level were statistically and negatively significant (P<0.05). Anxiety after Botox treatment had a significant effect on self-esteem level on multivariate level (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obesity treatment methods positively affect physical health and mental health. While there are many confusing scientific studies on stomach Botox treatment, none of these studies seem to have had strict diet and movement monitoring. Stomach Botox treatment not only positively affects the physical appearance and mental health of individuals, but also their self-perception during the obesity treatment process.
肥胖是全球范围内呈指数增长的公共健康问题。当肥胖得到治疗时，肥胖个体开始出现许多康复状态。胃 Botox 注射也经常被用于非手术治疗方法中。本前瞻性研究调查了胃 Botox 治疗前后心理症状与自尊水平之间的关系。
我们采用问卷调查的方式收集基线资料，使用症状自评量表和罗森伯格自尊量表。共有 406 名患者参与了 2020 年 2 月至 8 月期间的研究，其中 369 名女性（90.9%），37 名男性（9.1%）。
Botox 治疗前的焦虑、消极人格、躯体化和敌意水平高于 Botox 治疗后。治疗后抑郁水平升高。Botox 治疗后焦虑、躯体化和敌意水平升高具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。抑郁和消极人格差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。Botox 治疗前，所有心理症状与自尊水平之间的相关性均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。Botox 治疗后，焦虑、消极人格和敌意水平与自尊水平之间的相关性具有统计学意义且呈负相关（P<0.05）。Botox 治疗后焦虑对自尊水平有显著影响（P<0.05）。
肥胖治疗方法对身体健康和心理健康都有积极影响。虽然胃 Botox 治疗有许多令人困惑的科学研究，但这些研究似乎都没有严格的饮食和运动监测。胃 Botox 治疗不仅对个体的外貌和心理健康产生积极影响，还对肥胖治疗过程中的自我认知产生积极影响。
