Objectives This study aims to compare body image concern, self-compassion and emotion regulation strategies in obese women with and without applying for metabolic weight-loss surgery.
Methods In this causal-comparative study, two groups of obese women with applying (n=80) and without applying (n=80) for metabolic surgery participated match for age and marital status, who were selected using a purposive sampling method from Milad Hospital in Tehran, Iran in 2023. The Body Image Concern inventory (BICI), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were used to collect data. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.
Results The BICI score was significantly higher in applicant women (F=215.129, df=160, P≤0.001). The applicant women had significantly lower SCS score in total (F=176.488, df=160, P≤0.001) and in domains of self-kindness (F=130.415, df=160, P≤0.001), human commonality (F=160.596, df=160, P≤0.001), and mindfulness (F=215.129, df=160, P≤.001), and higher score in domains of self-judgment (F=23.775, df=160, P≤0.001), isolation (F=51.530, df=160, P≤0.001) and over-identification (F=67.353, df=160, P≤0.001). In terms of CRQ score, there was no significant difference between the two groups in cognitive reappraisal domain, but a significant difference in expressive suppression was reported (F=438.531, df=160, P≤0.001).
Conclusion Obese women applying for metabolic surgery have more body image concern and lower self-compassion than non-applicants. Also, they mostly use expressive suppression strategy to regulate their emotions. Considering these factors before applying for metabolic surgery can be effective in increasing the efficiency of selective weight loss treatments.
