The Draw-A-Person (DAP) test has been the center of a long-lasting debate regarding its validity. This study investigated the DAP indices of height, width (size), and inclusion/omission of details and their relation to body image as measured by a self-report scale (Gray’s body image scale) and manifested by the diet behaviors and body mass index of 55 healthy female students. Although the drawings of the diet group were smaller, there was no significant relationship between figure size and diet behaviors. However, body image as measured by a self-report scale did result in significant differences between groups. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the size of the figure drawn and body image as measured by a self-report scale (larger figures correlated with better body image). No significant results were found for the omission/inclusion indices of the DAP. These results are discussed in light of previous findings regarding the DAP.

Abstract INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) on body image using the validated Body Image Scale (BIS) as a parameter of surgical quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted an observational descriptive study. Patients who underwent scheduled LCS between June 2015 and December 2019 by a General Hospital Coloproctology Unit were included. RESULTS The sample included 180 patients, 115 men (63.9%) and 65 women (36.1%) with a median age of 67 years. Right hemicolectomies (31.7%) and sigmoidectomies (28.3%) were the main procedures performed. In most patients, a suprapubic (69.4%) or transverse (19.4%) incision was made. 21.9% suffered some type of postoperative complication (13.9% wound complication, 10.6% incisional hernia). The general result of the BIS questionnaire was satisfactory, with a median of 0 in the responses (no alteration of body image). We found that 46.2% of the women had some alteration in body image, compared to 28.7% of the men (p = 0.018) and low and ultra-low anterior resection were the surgeries that obtained worst scores, with 13,5% and 12,5% respectively of patients with a BIS score above 5 (p = 0.044). Patients with a stoma also obtained worst punctuation (25% above 5 vs 6,1%, p = 0.001). No statistically significant differences were found regarding type of incision, presence of complications and anxiety or depression. CONCLUSION Study results show, in general, good post-surgical body image after LCS. However, patients with stoma and women were more dissatisfied. Interestingly, there is no worse body image due to type of incision, so we recommend the least iatrogenic one.

La obesidad infantil es uno de los factores de riesgo clave para el desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas. La prevención de ésta y su tratamiento se han convertido en una de las políticas sanitarias comunes en muchos países. Por ello, el estudio de la obesidad infantil y de sus características psicológicas debe ser un objetivo prioritario. El presente trabajo es un estudio transversal que tiene como objetivo general el análisis del sobrepeso y obesidad en una muestra de población infantil y la medida en que tales circunstancias pueden afectar a su imagen corporal. Fue llevado a cabo con 62 niños y niñas, estudiantes de dos colegios públicos de localidades de la Comunidad de Madrid, con una media de edad de 11,53 (DT .73). Como instrumentos de evaluación han sido utilizados la Escala Breve de Insatisfacción Corporal Infantil (EBICI), The Children’s Body Image Scale (CBIS) y un cuestionario antropométrico autoinformado por los propios sujetos de la muestra. Según los resultados obtenidos, aproximadamente el 18 % de la muestra tiene sobrepeso u obesidad, además se ha comprobado que el sobrepeso y la obesidad inciden negativamente en la percepción social y actitudinal que tienen los niños y niñas sobre su propio cuerpo.
