Healthy Body

Community care nurses educate adolescents about body image, but their interventions appear to be ineffective. Body dissatisfaction predicts unhealthy behaviors among adolescents. This study aimed to understand the meanings and factors that influence the concept of body image through a systematic review and meta-ethnography of qualitative studies from the perspective of adolescents. Ten studies published from 2009–2019 were identified by a search of relevant systematic databases between September and December 2019. The review followed the seven steps of meta-ethnography developed by Noblit and Hare, including a line-of-argument. The synthesis revealed six themes: self-perception of body image; opinions of friends and colleagues; opinions of family; specific features of the school environment; expectations perceived across the mass-media; and strategies, practices, and self-management of body image. An explanatory model was developed that showed adolescents’ development of body image and the path towards its establishment. In conclusion, these results should be considered to implement strategies to promote a healthy body image in adolescents by community health and mental health nurses.

Physical appearance has long been documented to influence almost every aspect of an individual's life. The importance placed on physical attractiveness, combined with the pervasiveness of idealised bodies and appearances in Western societies, may result in dissatisfaction with appearance. Subsequently, individuals may explore methods and ways to alter their appearance in line with societal beauty ideals. An increasingly popular method of body modification is via aesthetic procedures. Thus, with the ever-rising exposure, popularity and affordability of such procedures, the associations between body image, aesthetic procedures and mental health are worthy of exploration.

AbstractSharing and viewing photos on social networking sites (SNSs) have been identified as particularly problematic for body image. Although correlational research to date has established that SNS use is associated with increased body dissatisfaction, only experimental studies can enhance confidence in the conclusions drawn. For this reason, this systematic review synthesizes data from 43 experimental studies (N = 8637; %F = 89.56; mean age = 21.58 ± 1.78) examining the effect of viewing idealized images (i.e., attractive, thin, and fit) and body positive content on SNSs on body image. Two studies were conducted on adolescents. Each study had slight variations in how the images were presented for each category (e.g., selfies and photos taken by others). The wide variability in experimental stimuli and psychological moderators used in the published research make a systematic review more feasible and meaningful than a meta-analysis. Findings indicate that viewing idealized images on SNSs lead to increased body dissatisfaction among young women and men. State appearance comparison (i.e., engaging in social comparison while viewing images) significantly mediated the effect, whereas trait appearance comparison (i.e., the relatively stable general tendency to engage in social comparison) was a significant moderator. Mixed results were found regarding the exposure to body positive images/captions. Viewing images on SNSs depicting unattainable beauty ideals leads young people to feel dissatisfied about their bodies, with appearance comparison processing playing an important role. More research is required to assess the long-term effects.

Background/Aims: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are at an increased risk of suicidal ideation and suicide, compared to the overall population. This article provides an insight into the identifiable risk factors and protective determinants that can impact on these increased risks. The aim of this study was to ascertain the protective determinants of suicide ideation in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population based on the extant published evidence base surrounding this issue in the context of health care generally and mental health nursing practice, specifically. Methods A systematic review of five articles pertaining to suicidal ideation in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community was undertaken, in accordance with the 2009 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Implementation Framework Guidelines. Results Datasets were synthesised using an inductive thematic analysis. Five core themes emerged from the data: (1) resilience (2) specific personality traits (3) mindfulness and self-esteem (4) social support and positive role modelling and (5) the need for culturally competent healthcare provision, of which mental health nurses are an integral part. Conclusions The findings of the systematic review revealed the need for mental health nurses and adjunct healthcare staff to reflect on their interactions with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population, particularly where suicidal ideation or tendency is either directly articulated or suspected. Helping and supporting vulnerable members of society could potentially be driven by increasing awareness of these specific vulnerabilities in clinical practice.

Shortage of nurses and declining interest in becoming a mental health nurse are often attributed to workplacedistress and violence. These have become global issues and believed that shortage of nurses decreases the qualityof health care services. It leads distress among nurses, which is exposure to violence and traumatic experiences.In addition, nurses are also accused of seizing the rights of patients and committing violence against a patient.This paper focuses on the violence that occurred in mental health nurses during working in unpredictablesituation. A literature search of systematic review through the CINAHL, Medline, Google scholars and PsycInfodatabases, the empirical report using a nursing sample includes data on rates of violence exposure includingviolence, aggressive behavior, bullying, and sexual harassment. The result, a total of 400 articles provide dataon 2742 publications indicates near all of nurses in mental health experienced verbal abuse in the past month,furthermore, most of respondents’ ever experienced psychological abuse, and less of respondents experiencedphysical violence and sexual harassment. Rates of exposure vary by world region (Developed countries, Asia,Europe and Middle East), with the highest rates for physical violence and sexual harassment in the USA,Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand region, and the highest rates of psychological violence and bullyingin the Middle East. The presence of violence signals an "alarm" that violence against nurses calls for specialattention in many countries. Essentially, the world must give a "priority" to handling violence against nurses.
