RESUMEN

Objetivo: Analizar la percepción de la imagen corporal y su impacto en la función sexual orgásmica en mujeres estudiantes de la educación superior de Chillán, 2021. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, analítico, de corte transversal. Se evaluaron cuatro variables: datos demográficos, imagen corporal, orgasmo y función sexual. Se utilizó un Google Formulario a mujeres estudiantes entre 18 y 44 años de edad, de la educación superior en la ciudad de Chillán. Posterior a ello, los datos obtenidos se recopilaron y tabularon en el programa estadísticos SPSS 23. Resultados: Las dimensiones del índice de función sexual femenino alteradas con mayor frecuencia fueron: satisfacción (80,6 %), excitación (73,8 %) y orgasmo (51,5 %). El 99,0 % de las encuestadas presentaron disfunción sexual. Con respecto a la relación entre la dimensión de excitación y la pobre imagen corporal producida por el propio cuerpo (p = 0,019 r = -0,223) presentó correlación estadísticamente significativa, no así entre los puntajes totales de ambos instrumentos (p = 0,34; r = 0,09). Finalmente, las correlaciones entre la dimensión de dolor al momento de tener relaciones sexuales y la autodesvalorización por la apariencia física correlacionaron positivamente (p = 0,049; r = 0,196). Conclusión: Se observó alterado el orgasmo por la percepción de cómo se sienten con su propio cuerpo las encuestadas, lo que crearía una imagen corporal negativa llevando a una insatisfacción corporal(AU)

Objective: Analyze the perception of body image and its impact on orgasmic sexual function in female higher education students in Chillán, 2021. Methods: Quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study. Four variables were evaluated: demographic data, body image, orgasm and sexual function. A Google Form was used for female students between 18 and 44 years of age, from higher education in the city of Chillán. Subsequently, the data obtained were compiled and tabulated in the statistical program SPSS 23. Results: The most frequently altered dimensions of the female sexual function index were: satisfaction (80.6%), arousal (73.8%), and orgasm (51.5%). 99.0% of the respondents had sexual dysfunction. Regarding the relationship between the arousal dimension and the poor body image produced by one's own body (p = 0.019; r = -0.223), there was a statistically significant correlation, but not between the total scores of both instruments (p = 0.34; r = 0.09). Finally, the correlations between the dimension of pain at the time of sexual intercourse and self-depreciation due to physical appearance were positively correlated (p = 0.049; r = 0.196). Conclusion: The orgasm was observed to be altered by the perception of how the respondents felt about their own body, which would create a negative body image leading to body dissatisfaction(AU)

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The high academic demands experienced by students will often have an impact on the quality of their mental and physical health. The most common health problems reported are gastrointestinal disorders. This condition tends to manifest in the emergence of generalized anxiety disorders (GADs) and reduces the quality of life and productivity. The population that experiences this disorder the most is female adolescents, and this condition occurs in both South African and Indonesian populations. The use of drugs, especially benzodiazepines, often causes psychological conditions as side effects. For this reason, it is necessary to have a solution in the form of a targeted and efficient approach to reduce psychological symptoms that arise from functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in the form of anxiety. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to produce and implement a counseling intervention model to assist female students with GADs caused by FGID factors using an approach combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), web-based counseling, and local wisdom in Indonesian and South African populations. METHODS: The research subjects will comprise 118 female adolescent students from Indonesia and 118 female adolescent students from South Africa, making a total sample of 236 participants, and the study will use a prospective, parallel randomized controlled trial design. The recruitment process will begin in July 2023, and the trial will begin in August 2023. The posttest assessment data gathering will take place by November 2023. Questionnaires that will be used in this study include the Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder Checklist (FGI-Checklist) to collect data related to FGIDs and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) to measure the anxiety conditions experienced by respondents. RESULTS: By adopting the intention-to-treat principle, there will be significant mean changes in GAD scores and FGID scores after exposure to this combined approach in the Indonesian and South African populations. Implementing this comprehensive intervention will improve the students' psychological symptoms related to FGIDs and ultimately enhance their overall well-being. CONCLUSIONS: This study will develop and implement a model of counseling intervention for female students with GADs obtained from FGIDs using a combination approach to CBT, web-based counseling, and local wisdom in both the Indonesian and South African populations. The trial findings will contribute to our understanding of the effects of CBT combined with local wisdom and web-based counseling approaches that mental health counselors can use to treat GAD-affected adolescent girls who have FGIDs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Body image relates to how people think and feel about their own body. In today's society, with the growing sense of ideal body image, adolescents try to lose or gain body weight to attain that perfect body. Body image perception is still naive, and this research will try to understand these unexplored areas, where there is paucity of body image-related studies. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study is to find out the proportion of girls dissatisfied about body image, and the association of various factors with body image dissatisfaction and to ascertain the weight control behaviors adopted by adolescent college girls. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was done among 1200 college girls in Coimbatore. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on various factors associated with body image dissatisfaction. Body mass index (BMI) of the participants was calculated. RESULTS: Body image dissatisfaction was there among 77.6% of the girls. It was found that factors such as higher BMI, sociocultural pressure to be thin and depression were all significantly associated with body image dissatisfaction. The most commonly followed weight control behaviors were eating small meals and skipping meals. Improving the appearance and body shape were the main reasons for weight control behaviors. CONCLUSION: This study establishes the fact that body image dissatisfaction is no longer a western concept and affects Indian adolescent girls to a great extent. Hence, effective interventions have to be planned to increase awareness on ideal body weight and protect our young generation from pressures of negative body image.
