Özet

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün kronik hastalık olarak kabul ettiği obezite, tüm dünyada prevalansı hızla artan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Obezitenin hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik olumsuz etkileri bulunmaktadır. Obez bireylerin toplum tarafından damgalanmaları, ön yargı veya ayrımcılığa maruz kalmaları psikolojik sorunlar yaşamalarında büyük rol oynamaktadır. Bu derlemede obez bireylerin damgalanmaları sonucunda yaşadıkları olumsuzlukların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
