| Aim: This study was aimed at the evaluation the body image and self-esteem in Behcet’s Syndrome (BS).Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at a hospital’s rheumatology outpatient clinic in Eskişehir between June 1 and July 31, 2015. The study population consisted of 225 subjects who presented with BS (n= 136) and healthy subjects (n= 89). The research instruments used were Individual Information Form, Body Image Scale and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale. The data was analyzed using the program SPSS 21.00.Results: For the BS patients participating in the study, the mean age was 42.89±11.56, the mean disease duration was 10.90±9.04 and mean treatment duration was 9.48±8.83 years. For the healthy, control group subjects, mean age was 35.64±8.57 years. Results indicated that the BS patients reported median body image score and self-esteem scores significantly lower than healthy control subjects (p= 0.002, p< 0.001 respectively). There was a positive correlation between body image and self-esteem scores in both of groups (r= 0.302; p< 0.001, respectively).Conclusion: Our preliminary findings indicate that negative body image and self-esteem are affected by BS. Therefore, it is important for health professionals to assess the body image and self-esteem issues of BS patients. |
