Investigation Of The Relationship Between Body Appreciation And Sleep Quality

Abstract

Sleep causes many psychological effects in individuals. A person's body image, which is their subjective evaluation of their physical appearance, can have a significant impact on their emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. In order to investigate the effect of sleep on body image, 395 female participants aged between 18-27 years, who were evaluated subjectively and objectively using the sleep assessment and body image scale, were included. The primary outcome of the study are the determination of the relationship between objective and subjective results of sleep quality and body appreciation. Secondary outcome are the determination of the relationship between exercise and body appreciation, which is an effective factor in determining body appreciation. After missing data scanning, 34 participants were excluded from the study and analysis were performed on 361 people (Age 20,76+1,62; Height 163,65+5,81; Weight 57,78+ 10,42; Cronbach's Alpha ,92). Body Appreciation Scale-2 and Sleep Quality Scale were applied to the participants. While there was no statistical significance in the sleep hygiene values according to the subjective sleep evaluations of the participants, a significant difference was found between very poor sleep and very good sleep in the subjective sleep evaluations. In addition, a statistical significance was found between women's body image and subjective sleep evaluations (p<0.05). In line with these results, sleep is seen as a variable that affects body perception in women. Sleep, which has many psychological effects, negatively affects the body image of the person in its deficiency. Sleep hygiene trainings on this topic, women's sleep hygiene can help raise awareness.

Beden Değerinin Uyku Kalitesiyle İlişkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Uyku, bireylerde birçok psikolojik etkiye neden olmaktadır. Kişinin; duygularını, davranışlarını ve hayatını etkileyen bu durum kendine olan bedensel değerine karşı olan tutumunun etkilenmesine sebep olmaktadır. Çalışmaya, uykunun beden algısına etkisini araştırmak üzere, farklı bir bakış açısıyla, subjektif ve nesnel olarak uyku değerlendirilmesi ve beden algısı ölçeği kullanılarak yapılan, yaşları 18-27 arasında olan, 395 kadın katılımcı dahil edildi. Çalışmanın birincil sonuçları uyku kalitesinin objektif ve subjektif sonuçlarının beden değeri ile ilişkisinin tespitidir. İkincil sonuçları ise, beden değerini belirlemede etkili bir faktör olan egzersiz ve beden değerinin ilişkisinin tespitidir. Katılımcılara Beden Değeri Ölçeği-2 ve Uyku Kalitesi Ölçeği uygulanmış olup 34 katılımcıdan alınan verilerin noksanlığı sebebiyle araştırmaya dahil edilmemiş olup, 361 kişi üzerine analizler yapıldı (yaş 20,76+1,62; boy 163,65+5,81; kilo 57,78+ 10,42; cronbach's alpha ,92).Katılımcıların, subjektif uyku değerlendirmelerine göre uyku hijyeni değerlerinde herhangi bir istatistiksel anlamlılık bulunmazken(p>0,05), subjektif uyku değerlendirmelerinde çok kötü uyku (14,48+1,65)ile çok iyi uyku (15,14+2,48)arasında istatistiksel bir anlamlılık(p<0,05) tespit edilmiştir. Ek olarak, kadınların beden algısı ile subjektif uyku değerlendirmeleri arasında istatistiksel bir anlamlılık bulunmuştur(p<0,05). Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda uyku, kadınlarda beden algısını etkileyen bir değişken olarak görülmektedir. Pek çok psikolojik etkiye sahip olan uyku, noksanlığında kişinin beden algısını da negatif olarak etkilemektedir. Bu konuda verilecek uyku hijyeni eğitimleri, kadınların uyku hijyeni farkındalığını arttırmada yardımcı olabilir.
