Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Instagram kullanan gebelerde sosyal karşılaştırma ile beden imajı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel nitelikteki bu çalışma, Mayıs-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında bir tıp fakültesi hastanesinin gebe polikliniğinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 238 gebe katılmıştır. Veriler, Katılımcı Bilgi Formu, Gebelikte Beden İmajı Ölçeği (GBİÖ) ve Instagram’da Sosyal Karşılaştırma Ölçeği (ISKÖ) ile elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Gebeler orta düzeyde olumsuz beden imajı algısına sahiptir (91.37±14.01). Gebelerin aşağı doğru sosyal karşılaştırma puanı (yani kendisinden daha kötü durumda olanlarla karşılaştırma) (7.99±4.29), yukarı doğru sosyal karşılaştırma puanından (yani kendisinden daha iyi durumda olanlarla karşılaştırma) (5.38±2.85) daha yüksektir. GBİÖ alt boyutlarının sosyal karşılaştırma puanları ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir (p 0.05). Sosyal karşılaştırma puanlarının, gebelik durumu (p=0.013), gebelikte alınan kilo (p=0.004), gelir durumu (p=0.023) ve Instagram’daki paylaşımlara beğeni veya yorum (p<0.001) yapma değişkenleri ile anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma, Instagram kullanan gebelerde sosyal karşılaştırma ile beden imajı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sosyal karşılaştırma puanlarının çeşitli sosyodemografik faktörler ve Instagram kullanım alışkanlıklarına bağlı olarak farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, hemşirelerin gebelere sosyal karşılaştırma ve Instagram kullanımının beden imajı üzerindeki etkilerini yönetmelerinde rehberlik edebilir.

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between social comparisons and body image among pregnant women who use Instagram. Method: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted in the obstetrics clinic of a medical faculty hospital between May and June 2024. A total of 238 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Data were collected using a Participant Information Form, the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS), and the Social Comparison on Instagram Scale (SCIS). Results: Pregnant women reported a moderate level of negative body image perception (91.37±14.01). The downward social comparison score of pregnant women (i.e., comparison with others who are in a worse situation) (7.99±4.29) was higher than the upward social comparison score (i.e., comparison with others who are in a better situation) (5.38±2.85). The subdimensions of the BIPS were associated with social comparison scores (p 0.05). However, social comparison scores differed significantly by pregnancy status (p=0.013), weight gain during pregnancy (p=0.004), income level (p=0.023), and frequency of liking or commenting on Instagram posts (p<0.001). Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between social comparisons and body image among pregnant women using Instagram. It was also determined that social comparison scores varied according to sociodemographic factors and Instagram usage habits. The study results can guide nurses in helping pregnant women manage effects of social comparison and Instagram use on body image.
