Body image (BI) is a determinant of mental health and has a strong association with self-esteem and self-worth, core elements of resilience. The relationship between BI appreciation and resilience in health professionals (HPs) remains largely unexplored.
The aim of the study was to compare HPs' resilience and determine the relationship of resilience with BI appreciation.
A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted using an online questionnaire that was completed by 484 HPs that included a) demographic and occupational characteristics, b) the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), and c) the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Data was collected between January and March 2024.
Nurses reported significantly higher BI (3.96 ± 0.60 vs. 3.45 ± 0.73, p < 0.001) and resilience (3.25 ± 0.64 vs. 2.98 ± 0.55, p < 0.001) compared to physicians. Multiple regression analysis identified BI as a strong positive predictor of resilience for both nurses and physicians (p < 0.001). Nurses' resilience was also positively associated with increased working experience (p = 0.001) and negatively with the managerial position (p < 0.001) and higher level of education (p = 0.003). Physicians' resilience was also positively linked to cohabitation (p = 0.001) and the existence of children (p = 0.006) while negatively associated with working in internal departments (p = 0.001).
BI appreciation appears to play a significant role in HPs' resilience, while professional and personal factors influence each group differently. Interventions targeting in enhancing BI appreciation among HPs are suggested.
身体意象（BI）是心理健康的一个决定因素，并且与自尊和自我价值紧密相关，而自尊和自我价值是心理韧性的核心要素。健康专业人员（HPs）对身体意象的欣赏与心理韧性之间的关系在很大程度上仍未得到探索。
本研究的目的是比较健康专业人员的心理韧性，并确定心理韧性与对身体意象的欣赏之间的关系。
采用在线问卷进行了一项横断面比较研究，484名健康专业人员完成了该问卷，问卷内容包括：a）人口统计学和职业特征，b）身体欣赏量表-2（BAS-2），以及c）康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表（CD-RISC-10）。数据收集于2024年1月至3月之间。
与医生相比，护士报告的身体意象得分（3.96±0.60对3.45±0.73，p<0.001）和心理韧性得分（3.25±0.64对2.98±0.55，p<0.001）显著更高。多元回归分析确定，身体意象是护士和医生心理韧性的一个强有力的正向预测因子（p<0.001）。护士的心理韧性还与工作经验增加呈正相关（p=0.001），与管理职位呈负相关（p<0.001），与教育水平较高呈负相关（p=0.003）。医生的心理韧性也与同居（p=0.001）和有孩子（p=0.006）呈正相关，而与在内科工作呈负相关（p=0.001）。
对身体意象的欣赏似乎在健康专业人员的心理韧性中发挥着重要作用，而专业和个人因素对每组的影响各不相同。建议开展旨在增强健康专业人员对身体意象欣赏的干预措施。
