Abstract

Objective: The incidence of skin cancer is increasing worldwide every day. This study was conducted to evaluate body image perception and self-esteem in patients with skin cancer.

Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, relationship-seeking, and descriptive research design study was carried out with 320 patients diagnosed with skin cancer to assess their body image perception and self-esteem levels. Data were collected between December 2023 and September 2024 at a city hospital. The data collection tools used in the study included the Patient Information Form, Body Image Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES).

Results: The average age of the patients participating in the study was found to be 63.9 ± 18.4 years. The average scores of the patients on the Body Image Scale and the RSES were 129.6 ± 26.1. It was found that the patients had a low body image perception. The average score on the RSES was 2.6 ± 1.5, indicating that the self-esteem level of the patients was at a moderate level. A statistically significant relationship was found between the scores on the Body Image Scale and the RSES (P<.01). As the patients' positive body image perception increased, their self-esteem also improved.

Conclusions: It was determined that patients with skin cancer had a low body image perception and moderate self-esteem levels.

皮肤癌患者身体形象感知与自尊的评价。

目的：世界范围内皮肤癌的发病率日益上升。本研究旨在评估皮肤癌患者的身体形象知觉与自尊。方法：本研究采用前瞻性、横断面、关系寻求和描述性研究设计，对320例确诊皮肤癌患者进行身体形象感知和自尊水平评估。数据于2023年12月至2024年9月在一家城市医院收集。本研究使用的数据收集工具包括患者信息表、身体形象量表和罗森博格自尊量表（RSES）。结果：患者的平均年龄为63.9±18.4岁。患者身体形象量表和RSES的平均得分为129.6±26.1。结果发现，患者的身体形象感知能力较低。RSES的平均得分为2.6±1.5，表明患者的自尊水平处于中等水平。身体形象量表得分与RSES得分之间存在显著的统计学意义(p)。结论：皮肤癌患者的身体形象感知水平较低，自尊水平中等。
