摘要
背景:考虑到全球化的快速步伐，以及阿曼苏丹国正在经历社交媒体对该国青年外表规范的重大影响，研究年轻人的积极身体形象和自尊已成为国家的优先事项。虽然身体形象在不同文化中得到了很好的研究，但阿曼年轻人的积极身体形象以及积极身体形象与自尊之间的关系都被忽视了。本研究旨在探讨阿曼大学生积极身体形象与自尊及相关社会人口学因素之间的关系。方法:采用横断面调查方法，采用身体欣赏量表-2和罗森博格自尊量表两份问卷进行在线调查。共有237名学生从苏丹卡布斯大学的不同学院招募。结果:积极身体形象与自尊(β = 0.122, t = 2.197, p=0.038)、累积平均绩点(cGPA) (β = 0.140, t = 2.306, p=0.022)、身体质量指数(BMI) (β = -0.414, t = -6.930, p < 0.001)、家庭月收入(β = -0.129, t = 2.467, p=0.029)、社交媒体账户数(≥2，β = -0.132, t = -2.232, p=0.027)有显著相关。此外，自尊与个人的cGPA (β = 0.231, t = 3.592, p < 0.001)、母亲的受教育程度(β = -0.130, t = -2.065, p=0.040)、身体欣赏(β = 0.160, t = 2.491, p=0.013)显著相关。结论:本研究结果揭示了阿曼大学生积极身体形象的现状。鉴于这些新知识，我们提出了包括家庭参与等策略在内的健康干预措施，以维持和/或促进年轻人对身体形象的积极看法，并随后促进对身体外表和自尊的健康欣赏。
The Relationship between Body Appreciation and Self-Esteem and Associated Factors among Omani University Students: An Online Cross-Sectional Survey.
Background: Given the rapid pace of globalization and the fact that the Sultanate of Oman is experiencing a significant impact of social media on specifying appearance norms among youth in the country, research into positive body images and self-esteem among young individuals has become a national priority. Whilst body image has been well studied across cultures, both positive body image and the relationship between positive body image and self-esteem among Omani youth have been neglected. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between positive body image and self-esteem and associated sociodemographic factors among Omani university students based on gender.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used an online survey consisting of the two questionnaires that are Body Appreciation Scale-2 and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale. A total of 237 students were recruited from Sultan Qaboos University's different colleges.
Results: The results indicated that positive body image has a significant relationship with an individual's self-esteem (β = 0.122, t = 2.197, p=0.038), Cumulative Grade Point Average (cGPA) (β = 0.140, t = 2.306, p=0.022), body mass index (BMI) (β = -0.414, t = -6.930, p < 0.001), monthly household income (β = -0.129, t = 2.467, p=0.029), and the number of social media accounts (≥2, β = -0.132, t = -2.232, p=0.027). In addition, an individual's self-esteem was significantly associated with an individual's cGPA (β = 0.231, t = 3.592, p < 0.001) and mothers' educational level (β = -0.130, t = -2.065, p=0.040) besides body appreciation (β = 0.160, t = 2.491, p=0.013).
Conclusions: The findings of this study shed light on the current status of positive body image among university students of Oman. In light of the new knowledge, we propose health interventions that include strategies such as involvement of family, to maintain and/or promote positive body image perceptions among young individuals and subsequently promote healthy appreciation of the physical appearance and self-esteem.
