This cross-sectional study described prevalent body image (BI) concerns among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with neoplasms who received treatment at a quaternary care children's hospital. Thirty-two AYAs, aged 15–39 years, completed questionnaires assessing BI within six months of diagnosis. The most frequently endorsed questionnaire items included the following: desire for increased physical fitness (62.5%), self-consciousness about hair (45.2%), weight dissatisfaction (40.6%), lack of strength (37.5%), wearing loose clothing to hide one's body (37.5%), decreased agility (34.4%), shape dissatisfaction (32.2%), and self-perception of too much body fat (31.3%). Awareness of AYA BI concerns during treatment may generate early intervention targeting this complex issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
