Abstract

Objectives: Body dissatisfaction is a public health concern, prevalent among women. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a 2-week online functionality-focused intervention combined with psychoeducation on improving body image among young women at both high and low risk of Body Image Disorders (BIDs).

Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among young women at high risk and low risk of developing BIDs.

Methods: In total, 231 young women (n = 64 at high risk of BIDs) were randomized into: experimental (n = 113) and waitlist (n = 118) groups. The experimental group underwent the intervention at baseline (T0) for 15 days (T1), while the waitlist group started the intervention at T1 for 15 days (T2). Participants completed questionnaires about body and functionality appreciation, eating disorders (EDs) risk and extreme body dissatisfaction at baseline, 15 days from baseline and 30 days from baseline.

Results: Mixed linear models revealed enhancements in body and functionality appreciation post-intervention for women at both high risk and low risk of BIDs. Reductions in EDs risk and body dissatisfaction were observed in participants at high risk.

Conclusions: The intervention proves to be useful in promoting a positive body image (i.e. body and functionality appreciation) in women at both high and low risk of BIDs, while the results concerning the risk of developing EDs and extreme body dissatisfaction are more nuanced.

不仅仅是身体外观！通过功能性干预与心理教育相结合改善年轻女性的身体形象：随机对照试验

目的：身体不满意是一个公共健康问题，在女性中普遍存在。本研究旨在调查为期两周的在线功能性干预与心理教育相结合对改善身体形象障碍（BIDs）高风险和低风险年轻女性身体形象的效果：设计：在身体形象障碍高风险和低风险年轻女性中开展随机对照试验：总共有 231 名年轻女性（64 名身体形象障碍高危女性）被随机分为实验组（113 人）和候选组（118 人）。实验组在基线（T0）接受为期 15 天（T1）的干预，而候补组在 T1 开始接受为期 15 天（T2）的干预。参与者分别在基线期、基线期后 15 天和基线期后 30 天填写了有关身体和功能评价、饮食失调（ED）风险和身体极度不满意度的问卷：混合线性模型显示，高风险和低风险女性在干预后对身体和功能的评价都有所提高。在高风险参与者中观察到，EDs 风险和身体不满意度有所降低：事实证明，干预措施有助于促进高危和低危女性树立积极的身体形象（即对身体和身体功能的欣赏），而对罹患 ED 的风险和对身体的极端不满意度的影响则更为微妙。
