0052/2022 - Relação entre insatisfação corporal e saúde mental dos adolescentes brasileiros: um estudo com representatividade nacional Relationship between body dissatisfaction and mental health of Brazilian adolescents: a study with national representativeness
A insatisfação com a imagem corporal é considerada uma variável relevante na compreensão da saúde mental dos adolescentes. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto dessa insatisfação sobre variáveis associadas à saúde mental dos estudantes brasileiros matriculados no 9º ano. Para isso, utilizou-se os dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar de 2015 e a metodologia empregada baseou-se no Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Os resultados apontaram que a insatisfação com o próprio corpo tem impacto sobre a saúde mental dos adolescentes, apresentando efeito positivo na probabilidade de o estudante reportar sentimento frequente de solidão, relatar insônia por motivo de preocupação e ter dificuldade de socialização. Esse impacto foi crescente conforme o grau de insatisfação com a imagem corporal, sendo as meninas mais afetadas do que os meninos. Assim, verifica-se a importância da elaboração de estratégias visando reduzir a insatisfação corporal entre os adolescentes contribuindo para o aumento do bem-estar desse público frente as diferenças corporais existentes.

Abstract:

In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of this dissatisfaction on variables associated with the mental health of Brazilian students enrolled in the 9th year. For this, the datathe 2015 Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar was used and the methodology used was based on the Propensity Score Matching (PSM). The results showed that dissatisfaction with their own body has an impact on the mental health of adolescents, with a positive effect on the probability of the student reporting a frequent feeling of loneliness, reporting insomnia for reasons of concern and having difficulty socializing. This impact was increasing according to the degree of dissatisfaction with body image, with girls being more affected than boys. Thus, there is the importance of developing strategies for a more positive perception of body image among adolescents, contributing to the increase in the well-being of this public in the face of existing body differences.
