背景。对于面临口腔癌治疗的患者来说，身体形象是一个关键的社会心理问题，但在这方面的研究有限。本研究采用多维度的方法来评估身体形象，并评估身体形象、人口统计、健康和社会心理变量之间的关系。新诊断的口腔癌患者完成自我报告问卷和结构化的临床访谈。大多数参与者认为当前和/或未来的身体形象问题主要与即将进行的手术有关。充分的心理测量特性被证明在一系列身体形象测量。抑郁是身体形象结果的最强和最一致的预测因子。初步证据支持在手术干预前评估口腔癌患者身体形象问题的重要性，我们的研究结果对开发有效的身体形象工具具有重要意义，并可用于指导针对身体形象障碍的心理社会干预。(C) 2009 Wiley期刊公司中国生物医学工程学报（英文版），2010
Background. Body image is a critical psychosocial issue for patients facing treatment for oral cancer, yet there is limited research conducted in this area. This study uses a multidimensional approach to body image assessment and evaluates relationships between body image, demographic, health, and psychosocial variables,Methods. Newly diagnosed patients with oral cancer completed self-report questionnaires and a structured clinical interview.Results. Most participants identified current and/or future body image concerns primarily related to impending surgery. Adequate psychometric properties were demonstrated on a range of body image measures. Depression was the strongest and most consistent predictor of body image outcomes.Conclusions. Preliminary evidence supports the importance of evaluating body image concerns in oral cancer patients prior to surgical intervention, Our findings have implications for developing validated body image tools and can be used to guide psychosocial interventions targeting body image disturbance.
