STUDY OF BODY IMAGE IN FERTILE AND INFERTILE MEN

Pages

  295-298

Abstract

 Background: BODY IMAGE as a multidimensional entity is related to both physical and psychological aspects of the image one has of his or her own body. Lack/absence of an acceptable BODY IMAGE is one of the reasons of mental distress in infertile individuals.Methods: In this study, an equal number (No=120) of fertile and infertile men attending Avicenna INFERTILITY Clinic (AIC) were enrolled. The participants were compared in regard to BODY IMAGE variables based on the "Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ)" consisting of 10 subscales. Data was analyzed by SPSS, version 11.5, using Chi square and independent t-tests.Results: Fertile men had a more positive BODY IMAGE as compared to infertile individuals.Significant statistical differences were observed when BODY IMAGE subscales were compared in both groups; in other words appearance evaluation, appearance orientation, Novy, health evaluation, health orientation, illness orientation, body satisfaction, overweight preoccupation and self-classified weight showed differences, while no significant difference was observed in regard to fitness orientation.Conclusion: It seems that the ability and efficiency of BODY IMAGE is affected by INFERTILITY leading to dissatisfaction of one’s BODY IMAGE.
