Relationship between need for adornments, body image satisfaction and professional self-concept of nursing team

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Objective:

To explore the relationship between the feeling of missing not wearing adornments and body image satisfaction and the professional self-concept of the members of the nursing team.

Methods:

Quantitative analytical study. Professionals from a nursing team (n = 46) responded to a Professional Self-Concept Scale, Body Image Satisfaction Assessment Scale and a characterization questionnaire.

Results:

The total mean score for the Professional Self-Concept Scale was 111.6 (± 13.3) and for the Body Image Satisfaction Assessment Scale it was 81.6 (± 14.1). There were statistically significant differences in the comparison of the feeling of missing not wearing adornments in the dimensions of Realization (p-value = 0.0074), Self-confidence (p-value = 0.0386) and Health (p-value = 0.0109) of the Professional Self-Concept Scale.

Conclusion:

Individuals who are more realized, more self-confident, more perceive the influence of work on own health and more satisfied with their appearance do not miss wearing adornments in the hospital environment.
