Resumo
A insatisfação com o peso é uma preocupação comum entre estudantes universitários. Muitos jovens confrontaram-se com o social e cultural para estarem nos padrões de beleza idealizados, o que pode levar a uma preocupação constante com a aparência. Além disso, o ambiente universitário muitas vezes promove uma cultura de comparação e competição, em que a aparência pode ser supervalorizada e idealizada. Ademais, a busca dos corpos “perfeitos” nas redes sociais e na mídia também pode influenciar a percepção do corpo dos estudantes, levando à insatisfação, que tem ocasionado uma percepção distorcida da imagem corporal, podendo estar associada ao surgimento de transtornos alimentares e ao consumo de medicamentos emagrecedores. Com base nisso, o estudo objetivou reunir na literatura fatores associados à busca por diminuição de peso corporal em acadêmicos da área da saúde. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de abordagem quantitativa. Identificou-se como resultado seis estudos na base de dados da Scielo, por meio da combinação dos descritores “Peso corporal (PC)”, “Uso de medicamentos (UM)”, ¨Redução de peso (RP)¨, “Área da saúde (AS)", no período de 2015 até 2023. Nesse contexto, evidencia-se três fatores: imagem corporal, transtornos alimentares e consumo de medicamentos, que influenciam a perda de peso corporal em universitários. Concluiu-se que durante o período de graduação os alunos enfrentam comparações relacionadas às suas imagens, o que culmina em diversos fatores disfuncionais para a busca do corpo ideal e diminui a qualidade de vida.
Weight dissatisfaction is a common concern among high school students. Many young people are confronted with social and cultural issues in order to meet idealized standards of beauty, which can lead to a constant preoccupation with their appearance. In addition, the academic environment often promotes a culture of comparison and contest, in which appearance can be overvalued and idealized. Furthermore, the search for “perfect” bodies on social networks and the media can also influence the perception of the students' bodies, leading to dissatisfaction, which has caused a distorted perception of body image, which may be associated with the emergence of eating disorders and consumption of weight-loss drugs. Based on this, the study aimed to gather in the literature factors associated with the search for a reduction in body weight in academics in the health area. Thus, this research is an integrative review with a quantitative approach. As a result, six studies were identified in the Scielo database, by combining the descriptors “Body weight (WP)”, “Use of medication (UM)”, ¨ Weight reduction (WR)¨, “Health area (AS)”, in the period from 2015 to 2023. In this context, three factors are evident: body image, eating disorders and medication consumption, which influence body weight loss in university students. It was concluded that, during the graduation period, students face comparisons related to their body images, which culminates in several dysfunctional factors for the search for the ideal body, as well as a decrease in life quality.
