Description

In order to obtain basic understanding of nursing intervention for people with body image changes, the interrelationship between body cathexis and personality was evaluated using a body image scale and mental test in middle-aged people and in patients with alopecia as a result of cancer chemotherapy. The following results were obtained: 1. Females were less satisfied about their own body than were males. Scores of physical function were higher than those of body appearance in both genders. 2. Personality assessment revealed that females were more disposed towards showing depression and feelings of inferiority than were males. Lack of agreeableness and feelings of superiority were predominant in males. 3. Personality represented by mentl stability, mental activity, and leadership correlated firmly with body image. 4. Patients with alopecia showed significantly low scores of body image when compared with normal male and female adults.
