PHYSICAL SELF CONCEPT AMONG YOUNG WOMEN WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS : is regular physical activity essential ?

Résumé

Introduction/Background: The aim of this study is to assess and compare the physical self-concept score of women with endometriosis performing a regular PA and not performing any regular PA. As endometriosis affects the quality of life in women (1,2), they tend to have a negative image of their body (3). This relates closely to the physical self-concept which refers as the perception or evaluation of a person's physical abilities and physical appearance (4). The physical self-concept could be increased by physical activity (PA) (5). Methods/Methodology: French women with endometriosis were asked to respond to a questionnaire over physical perception. The questionnaire was passed online through a link and on paper at the endometriosis clinic of Paris Saint Joseph hospital to increase the number and diversity of respondents. The short form of the physical self-description questionnaire was used to measure physical self-concept. In total, 418 women completed the questionnaire. Among them, 289 women stated performing a regular PA (at least once a week), and 129 stated not performing any regular PA. Results: The physical self-concept score was significantly higher in the regular PA group compared to the group not performing any regular PA (p<0.05). All the scores for the physical self-concept sub-domains were significantly higher in the regular PA group compared to the group not performing any regular PA (p<0.05). Conclusions/Discussion: Performing a regular PA might increase the overall physical self-concept of women with endometriosis and all its subdomains. Therefore, it should be recommended to women with endometriosis to perform a regular PA to increase their body perception and the image they have of their body. References: 1.
