Imagen corporal en universitarios extremeños de la Facultad de Educación tras la COVID-19 (Body image in university students from Extremadura of the Faculty of Education after COVID-19)

Abstract

La imagen corporal es un factor multidimensional importante en la adherencia a la actividad física, así como para el bienestar psicológico y social, sin embargo, generalmente no se le da la importancia que merece, especialmente después de la pandemia que se ha producido en los últimos años. Se presentó un cuestionario utilizando la herramienta Google Forms para conocer la opinión de los estudiantes universitarios sobre su manejo de la autopercepción de la imagen corporal. Se utilizó una estrategia de selección no probabilística basada en el muestreo por coexistencia para escoger a 288 estudiantes para el estudio. Se utilizó la prueba U de Mann-Whitney para determinar los vínculos entre los distintos ítems y dimensiones en función del género y la especialidad educativa, y la prueba Rho de Spearman para comprobar si existía relación entre la edad y el índice de masa corporal y sus respuestas en las distintas dimensiones. Los resultados mostraron que, a pesar de una aceptable percepción de su imagen corporativa por parte de la muestra analizada, existen diferencias de género y entre especialidades. Así, se puede concluir que las organizaciones públicas deberían desarrollar líneas de actuación para mejorar y mantener una buena percepción de la imagen corporal en esta población. Palabras clave: estudiantes universitarios, imagen corporal, género, especialidad educativa, edad, índice de masa corporal, salud. Abstract.
