Aim. We aimed to determine the effect of external apple vinegar application on the symptoms and social appearance anxiety of varicosity patients who were suggested conservative treatment.Method. The study was planned as an experimental, randomized, and controlled study. 120 patients were randomly selected and then were randomly allocated to either experimental or control group by simple blind random sampling method. In the collection of research data, a questionnaire questioning sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, and the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) were used. The patients in the study group were suggested to apply apple vinegar to the area of the leg with varicosity alongside the treatment suggested by the doctor. The patients in the control group received no intervention during the study.Results. The sociodemographic and clinic characteristics of both groups were found to be similar (p>0.05). The patients were evaluated with regard to cramps, pain, leg fatigue perception, edema, itching, pigmentation, and weight feelings in the leg, VAS, and SAAS averages in the second evaluation; the control group had a decrease in such symptoms (p>0.05) although the decrease in the application group was higher and statistically meaningful (p<0.05).Conclusion. We determined that the external application of apple vinegar on varicosity patients, which is a very easy application, increased the positive effects of conservative treatment.

Background:Appearance anxiety means discomfort in social interactions due to changes in appearance. Also this anxiety; it is the fear of being evaluated negatively and worry about the changes in appearance, and it is not only apparent. Body image is the emotions, thoughts and perceptions of the individual about his or her own body and directly affects self-esteem. The Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) was developed to assess social appearance anxiety, and this scale was found to be a valid and reliable scale in scleroderma (SSc) patients. It was also thought to be related to the severity of the disease. The literature shows that appearance concerns are strongly related to depression in patients with rheumatic disease and should be evaluated routinely.Objectives:The first aim of the study is to determine the level of social appearance anxiety in rheumatology patients, and our last goal is to investigation of the relationship between social appearance anxiety and disease duration, self-esteem, depression and anxiety.Methods:129 rheumatology patients with a mean age of 42.96 ± 11.33 years (51 men, 78 women) were included in the study. 55% of patients were ankylosing spondylitis (AS), 15.5% of patients were sjögren syndrome (SS), 11.6% of patients were rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 7.8% of patients were fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), 6.2% of patients were SSc, 2.3% of patients were Behçet’s disease (BD) and 1.6% were diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS) was used to evaluate patients’ social appearance anxiety, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was used to evaluate self-esteem, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate depression and anxiety.Results:The disease duration was found to be 6.82 ± 5.22 years. The SAAS average was found to be 43.23 ± 20.53 points. It was found that the SAAS values of patients with PsA and SSc were higher than patients with AS, RA, FMS, SS, BD. A moderate positive correlation was found between SAAS and disease duration, depression and anxiety (p: 0.048, r: 0.545; p: 0.007, r: 0.638; p: 0.014, r: 0.749, respectively).Conclusion:As a result of the study, it was observed that rheumatology patients had moderate and high level social appearance anxiety. We thought that they have a higher level of social appearance anxiety because of skin involvement in patients with with PsA and SSc. In addition, as a result of the study, we found that as the social appearance anxiety increased, disease duration, depression and anxiety increased. According to this study, in which the preliminary results are given, we thought that it is necessary to determine patients’ appearance anxiety in routine evaluation and to reduce social appearance anxiety by collaboration with multidisciplinary areas in rheumatological diseases.References:[1]Mills SD, Kwakkenbos L, Carrier ME, Gholizadeh S, Fox RS, Jewett LR, Gottesman K, Roesch SC, Thombs BD, Malcarne VL.

Abstract Purpose Body image has a significant impact on the outcome of obesity surgery. This study aims to perform a semantic evaluation of body shapes in obesity surgery patients and a group of controls. Materials and Methods Thirty-four obesity surgery (OS) subjects, stable after weight loss (average 48.03 ± 18.60 kg), and 35 overweight/obese controls (MC), were enrolled in this study. Body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, and body perception were evaluated with self-reported tests, and semantic evaluation of body shapes was performed with three specific tasks constructed with realistic human body stimuli. Results The OS showed a more positive body image compared to HC (p < 0.001), higher levels of depression (p < 0.019), and lower self-esteem (p < 0.000). OS patients and HC showed no difference in weight bias, but OS used a higher BMI than HC in the visualization of positive adjectives (p = 0.011). Both groups showed a mental underestimation of their body shapes. Conclusion OS patients are more psychologically burdened and have more difficulties in judging their bodies than overweight/obese peers. Their mental body representations seem not to be linked to their own BMI. Our findings provide helpful insight for the design of specific interventions in body image in obese and overweight people, as well as in OS.
