As mudanças vivenciadas pelas gestantes podem impactar negativamente as atitudes corporais e variáveis associadas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência das atitudes alimentares, sintomas depressivos, autoestima, ansiedade e IMC na imagem corporal de gestantes. Este estudo quantitativo e transversal contou com 386 gestantes de todas as idades gestacionais, entre 18 a 46 anos de idade (média de 29,32 ± 6,04 anos) da cidade de Juiz de Fora-MG. Foram aplicados instrumentos para avaliar atitudes corporais, atitudes alimentares, sintomas depressivos, autoestima e ansiedade. Foram coletados dados antropométricos e obstétricos. Realizou-se análises estatísticas descritivas, comparativas e correlacionais. Os achados indicaram correlações significativas entre as atitudes corporais e: atitudes alimentares inadequadas (r=0,478), sintomas depressivos (r=0,387), baixa autoestima (r=0,431) e elevado IMC (r=0,339). Além disso, essas variáveis juntas exerceram influência de 41,4% sobre a imagem corporal negativa das gestantes. Assim, recomenda-se a avaliação e a orientação nutricional e psicológica a fim de detectar e prevenir psicopatologias, tendo em vista a saúde materna e infantil.
The changes experienced by pregnant women can negatively impact the body attitudes and associated variables. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the influence of eating attitudes, depressive symptoms, self-esteem, anxiety and BMI in body image of pregnant women. This quantitative and cross-sectional study included 386 pregnant women of all gestational periods, between 18 and 46 years old (mean 29.32 ± 6.04 years old) of the city of Juiz de Fora-MG. Instruments were applied to assess body attitudes, eating attitudes, depressive symptoms, self-esteem and anxiety. Anthropometric and obstetric data were collected. Descriptive, comparative and correlational statistical analyses were performed. The findings indicated significant correlations between body attitudes and: inadequate eating attitudes (r=0.478), depressive symptoms (r=0.387), low self-esteem (r=0.431) and high BMI (r=0.339). In addition, these variables together exerted influence of 41.4% on the negative body image of the pregnant women. Thus, it is recommended to assess and to inform nutritionally and psychologically pregnant women, in order to detect and prevent psychopathology, in view of the maternal and child health.
