Background: Stoma surgeries are increasing in Sweden each year. Colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, and trauma are some conditions that might lead to an ostomy. Having an ostomy could bring changes to the body and the person’s body image, leaving the person feeling imprisoned in his or her own body. Aim: The aim was to illuminate people’s experiences of getting and living with an ostomy. Method: A literature-based study was conducted in which nine qualitative articles were studied and analysed. Three new themes and eight sub-themes arose from the analysed articles. Results: The main themes of the study were: ”Changes in close relationships and sexual life”, where it was found to be difficult to start a new sexual relationship after the surgery and that the stoma also had effects on family relations and friendships. ”Limitations in social and physical activities”, where the result showed that persons with ostomies were constantly worried about leakage and odour, and had difficulties performing physical activities such as work or exercise. ”A new self”, people who had had stoma surgery were found to experience difficulties in adapting to their new body and accepting the stoma as part of their body. Common for all themes was the importance of support from family and friends. Conclusion: Persons who have had colostomy or ileostomy surgery all have different needs and challenges. It is important to see to their individual needs.

Orientador: Sandro Caramaschi / Banca: Silvia Aparecida Fornazari / Banca: Alessandra de Andrade Lopes / Resumo: Nas sociedades atuais, a importância da imagem corporal está diretamente relacionada a transtornos alimentares e sua distorção interfere na auto estima, promovendo adoecimento psíquico, na maioria das vezes associada à depressão, quando há obsessão pela magreza, estimulada pela mídia, pelas relações sociais e pela família. A obesidade é um aspecto da imagem corporal de grande importância para pacientes com depressão. Interfere na auto-estima e na manutenção do tratamento farmacológico que pode causar ganho de peso. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo contribuir com as pesquisas sobre imagem corporal, verificando se a percepção da imagem corporal de mulheres com depressão fazendo uso de antidepressivos apresenta alteração/distorção, verificando se as participantes estão satisfeitas com a imagem corporal, avaliando o percentual de obesos/sobrepeso, verificar hábitos de vida que contribuem para o aumento de peso, comparar com pessoas que não fazem uso de antidepressivos. Participaram do estudo trinta mulheres de 21 a 53 anos em tratamento com antidepressivos em CAPs III (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial) e trinta mulheres de 21 a 60 anos que não realizam tratamento, funcionárias de um CAIS (Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde) de uma cidade do interior de São Paulo. As participantes responderam uma entrevista da caracterização da amostra e hábitos de vida em relação à prática de atividade física, controle alimentar e mudanças corporais. Responderam um questionário de forma corporal (BSQ) que apresenta 34 questões autoaplicáveis. Preencheram uma escala de figuras (FRS) que apresenta nove figuras de imagens corporais (1 baixo peso; 2-5 euforia; 6-7 sobrepeso; 8-9 obesidade) e solicita que participante escolha uma figura que acredita representar a si mesma (EU) e uma figura que representa o que gostaria de ser (IDEAL).

The obesity is an aspect of body image that is very important to patients with depression. It interferes on self-esteem and on the maintenance of pharmacological treatment, which may cause gain of weight. The present study aimed to contribute with researches about body image, to verify if the body image perception presents distortion, to verify if the participants are satisfied with their body image, to evaluate women in depression treatment to verify the percentage of odese/overweight people, and to verify life habits which contribute to weight gaining. Thirty women from 21 to 53 years old in treatment with antidepressives at CAPs III (Social-Psychological Attention Center) and thirty women from 21 to 60 years old who are not in treatment and work at CAIS (Center of Whole Health Attention) participated in the study in a country city from São Paulo State. The participants answered an interview to characteriza the sample and to define life habits in relation to the practice of physical activities, eating control and body changes. They answered a questionnaire about shape (BSQ) which presents 34 self-administered questions. They fulfilled a figure scale (FRS) that presents nine figures of body images (1 - low weight; 2-5 eutrophia; 6-7 overweight; 8-9 obesity) and asks the participant to choose one figure that she believes that represents herself (SELF) and one figure that represents what she would like to be (IDEAL). The interview reports presented by the participants showed that there is a tendency of not practicing physical activities and spending most of the time on diets, concerning ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Ett samhällsproblem i dagens Sverige är att fler individer i större utsträckning påverkas negativt av sociala medier. Instagram är ett av de största sociala medier som används idag och de bilder som publiceras på Instagram är oftast inriktade på kroppen. Denna kvalitativa fenomenologiska studie har som syfte att utforska och förstå unga individers upplevelse av kroppen vid användandet av Instagram. Studien använder kroppsuppfattning, utseendeideal, social jämförelser, social påverkan och kritiskt tänkande som teoretiska utgångspunkter för att skapa en djupare förståelse kring studiens fenomen och essens. Studien bidrar till en förståelse för det socialpsykologiska perspektivet gällande individens subjektiva upplevelse av kroppen utifrån Instagram-användning. Tio informanter i åldrarna 18–25 år deltog i semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades utifrån en tematisk analysmetod. Resultatet visade att majoriteten av informanterna upplevde den egna kroppen negativt vid användandet av Instagram då de upplevde att kroppen som framställs på Instagram är snyggare, smalare och mer vältränad. Jämförelse mellan den egna kroppen och kroppen på Instagram visade sig därför vara av stor betydelse för hur informanterna upplevde kroppen. Resultatet visade även att kritiskt tänkande är en viktig del i hur informanterna upplevde deras kroppsuppfattning vid användandet av Instagram.

This diploma thesis deals with self-concept of a maturing individual in dancing. We look into the way of self-perception of a dancer during their commitment to dancing as a leisure time activity in their process of growing up. In the theoretical part, the thesis deals with defining the terms related to movement, dancing and its various psychological and pedagogical aspects, especially expression and expressivity. The theoretical part also focuses on particular components of self-concept. The practical part contains case studies based on qualitative research, which stem from data achieved by in-depth interviews and introspection and retrospection done by the author of the thesis.

Bakgrund: Behandling mot bröstcancer medför olika biverkningar för kvinnor, bland annat torra slemhinnor, klåda och smärta vid samlag, samt deformation av ett eller båda brösten. Sammantaget kan dessa biverkningar inverka på kvinnors upplevelse av sin sexualitet. Mer kunskap krävs kring kvinnors upplevelser av sin sexualitet, för att utifrån det kunna ge god vård och stärka kvinnors sexuella hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av sin sexualitet under och efter avslutad bröstcancerbehandling. Metod: En litteraturöversikt som är baserad på tre kvantitativa och sex kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Kvinnorna upplevde förändring av sin kroppsbild samt sin sexualitet under och efter bröstcancerbehandling. Ångest och depression var vanligt relaterat till viktuppgång. Det fanns dock kvinnor som upplevde förändring i en positiv riktning. Oro fanns över att inte vara tillräcklig i sin sexuella relation med sin partner. Brist på information gällande behandlingar och dess biverkningar, upplevdes av kvinnorna. Diskussion: Kvinnor upplever både fysiska och psykiska besvär vid bröstcancer. Kvinnor behöver mer information innan, under och efter behandling för bröstcancer. Det är viktigt att sjuksköterskor fångar upp varje kvinna för att kunna ge en individanpassad omvårdnad. Konklusion: Kommunikation mellan sjuksköterskor, kvinnor och deras partner kan stärka kvinnor i sin sexuella hälsa. / Background: Treatment against breast cancer can cause women various side effects, including dry mucous membranes, itching, as well as deformation of one or both breasts.

Women experienced lack of information about treatments and their side effects. Discussion: Both physical and mental disorders were experienced by women with breast cancer. Women needed more information before, during, and after treatment for breast cancer. In order to provide personalized care, nurse´s need to see the whole woman and meet her individual needs of caring. Conclusion: Communication both between nurses, women and their partners could strengthen women in their sexual health.

xi, 81 p. : ill. / The purpose of my choreographic research is to challenge traditional tendencies in Western culture that objectify the dancing body and instead suggest different ways of understanding and seeing the body. My research strategized ways in which the choreographer might create opportunities to validate body image experiences of female dancers in a collaborative choreographic endeavor rooted in feminist pedagogy practices. Qualitative methodology included improvisation, journaling, and group discussions to enable the dancers to express themselves subjectively through words and movement. Insights from choreographers and scholars of feminist pedagogy in dance informed the collaborative creative process. Participants in this study identified validation of the personal body experience as a source of knowledge and utilization of the voice in dance as significant components leading towards empowerment and subjectivity for female dancers. / Committee in charge: Shannon Mockli, Chairperson; Dr. Jenifer Craig, Member; Rita Honka, Member

Bakgrund: I Sverige diagnostiseras 9400 kvinnor av bröstcancer varje år och högre ålder är en betydande riskfaktor.

A insatisfação corporal é o desejo de que o corpo seja diferente da forma como o percebe, gerando uma avaliação negativa sobre o mesmo. A adolescência é a fase onde os indivíduos estão vulneráveis a distorções na autopercepção da imagem corporal e estas podem estar relacionadas à autoestima. O presente estudo possui como objetivo analisar a associação entre a autopercepção da imagem corporal e o nível de autoestima de adolescentes e jovens de um município da Bahia. Trata-se de estudo transversal, aninhado à pesquisa intitulada “Avaliação dos hábitos de vida e acessibilidade aos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde da população entre 15 a 24 anos”, com dados obtidos através de inquérito domiciliar, realizado entre os meses de outubro de 2011 e janeiro de 2012. A variável dependente foi a imagem corporal e a independente a autoestima, sendo ajustadas por variáveis socioeconômicas, demográficas, de condição de saúde e familiares. Para análise foi utilizada a regressão logística multinível com correção para amostragem complexa. A prevalência de insatisfação corporal foi de 80,5%. Entre as meninas, 47,3% desejavam ter um corpo mais magro, 54,1% dos meninos desejavam aumentar a silhueta e 77,9% dos indivíduos não estimavam bem o seu tamanho corporal. Após ajuste, por todas variáveis do estudo, a autoestima mostrou-se associada positiva e significativamente (OR:1,72; IC(95%): 1,20-2,48) com a imagem corporal. As variáveis faixa etária, sexo, autopercepção de saúde, estado nutricional, trabalho do responsável pela família e relacionamento com os pais também foram associadas significativamente após ajuste. Conclui-se que a autoestima está associada significativamente a imagem corporal. Sugere-se incorporação desta temática nas políticas públicas de saúde e o fortalecimento das políticas já existentes, a exemplo do Programa de Saúde na Escola.
