Abstract

Background: Genital self-image may influence women's psychological well-being and attitudes toward genital aesthetic surgery. However, the relationships among genital self-image, happiness, and psychological resilience remain insufficiently understood.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationships between women's genital self-image, happiness, and psychological resilience and to determine whether happiness mediates the association between genital self-image and psychological resilience.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 360 women. Data were collected using the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), Happiness Scale (HS), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), together with a demographic information form. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, correlation analysis, logistic regression, and mediation analysis.

Results: FGSIS scores differed significantly according to age, education, income, and number of children. Number of children was negatively correlated with FGSIS (r = -0.409, p < .001) and HS (r = -0.344, p < .001). FGSIS was positively correlated with HS (r = 0.252, p < .001) and BRS (r = 0.231, p < .001), while HS was positively correlated with BRS (r = 0.434, p < .001). Mediation analysis demonstrated a significant direct effect of FGSIS on BRS (β = 0.152, p = .006) and an indirect effect through HS (β = 0.119, p < .001), with a significant total effect (β = 0.271, p < .001).

Conclusions: Genital self-image was positively associated with happiness and psychological resilience, with happiness mediating this association.

快乐在女性生殖器美容手术态度对心理健康影响中的中介作用。

背景：生殖器自我形象可能影响女性的心理健康和对生殖器美容手术的态度。然而，生殖器自我形象、幸福感和心理弹性之间的关系仍然没有得到充分的了解。目的：本研究旨在探讨女性生殖器自我形象、幸福感和心理弹性之间的关系，并确定幸福感是否在生殖器自我形象和心理弹性之间起中介作用。方法：这项描述性横断面研究包括360名妇女。数据收集采用女性生殖器自我形象量表（FGSIS）、幸福量表（HS）和简短恢复量表（BRS），以及人口统计信息表。数据分析采用方差分析、相关分析、逻辑回归和中介分析。结果：FGSIS评分根据年龄、教育程度、收入和子女数量有显著差异。儿童数量与FGSIS （r = -0.409, p < .001）、HS （r = -0.344, p < .001）呈负相关。FGSIS与HS呈正相关（r = 0.252, p < 0.001），与BRS呈正相关（r = 0.231, p < 0.001）， HS与BRS呈正相关（r = 0.434, p < 0.001）。中介分析显示，FGSIS对BRS有显著的直接影响（β = 0.152, p = 0.006），通过HS有间接影响（β = 0.119, p < 0.001），总影响显著（β = 0.271, p < 0.001）。结论：生殖器自我形象与幸福感和心理弹性呈正相关，幸福感在其中起中介作用。
