Research suggests that body image is related to health behaviors and health care use, but possible mechanisms for this relationship remain unclear. The current study examined the presence of a relationship between body appreciation and avoiding the doctor to avoid being weighed, using a diverse sample of women (N = 499). Controlling for body size and determinants of health care utilization, logistic regression results suggested that women with higher body appreciation were less likely to avoid health care to avoid being weighed (odds ratio = 0.38, p < .001). In addition, differences in avoiding the doctor to avoid being weighed were found for the covariates (that is, age, race, body mass index, and socioeconomic status). These results inform knowledge regarding barriers to health care use and the relationship between body image and health care use. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications for future research, social work interventions, and social work education to promote women's health and well-being.

身体欣赏和避免医疗保健:简要报告。

研究表明,身体形象与健康行为和医疗保健使用有关,但这种关系的可能机制仍不清楚。当前的研究使用各种各样的女性样本(N = 499)检查了身体欣赏与避免医生避免称体重之间的关系。通过对身体大小和卫生保健利用率的决定因素进行控制,逻辑回归结果表明,具有较高身体欣赏度的女性不太可能避免卫生保健以避免体重过重(优势比= 0.38,p <.001)。此外,在协变量(即年龄,种族,体重指数和社会经济地位)方面,在避免医生避免体重方面存在差异。这些结果为有关保健使用障碍以及身体形象与保健使用之间的关系提供了知识。本文最后讨论了对未来研究,社会工作干预以及促进妇女健康和福祉的社会工作教育的意义。
