Title: | Gender differences in inflammatory bowel disease: Explaining body image dissatisfaction | Authors: | Trindade, Inês A. Ferreira, Cláudia Duarte, Cristiana Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Project: | This research is supported by the first author’s (Inês A. Trindade) Ph.D. Grant (SFRH/BD/101906/2014) sponsored by FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology). | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Health Psychology | Abstract: | The aim of this study was to examine the role of body image problems in the context of inflammatory bowel disease and to explore gender differences in these associations. A sample of inflammatory bowel disease patients (60 males and 140 females) was collected. Findings from a multi-group analysis show that inflammatory bowel disease symptomatology may impact on body image in both male and female patients through the effect of body-image-related cognitive fusion. Body image difficulties in the context of inflammatory bowel disease should not be a neglected dimension in research aiming at understanding the psychosocial effects of inflammatory bowel disease and by health professionals working with these patients. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46830 | DOI: | 10.1177/1359105317742958 | Rights: | openAccess |
