Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome (dissatisfaction with body image) is measured at the beginning of the study (pre-test), 4 months after the start of the intervention (post-test) and 3 months later as follow-up. Timepoint: The primary outcome variable (dissatisfaction with body image) is measured at the beginning of the study (pre-test), 4 months after the start of the intervention (post-test) and 3 months later as follow-up. Method of measurement: The Body Image Concern Questionnaire (BICI) is a tool used by Littleton et al. in 2005 to investigate dissatisfaction and concern about appearance. It has 19 questions. which questions 1-3-5-8-9-14-15-16-17-18-19 person's dissatisfaction and embarrassment with his appearance, checking and hiding perceived defects and questions 2-4-6-7-10 11-12-13 measures the level of interference of concern about appearance in a person's social performance.Participants indicate their answer on a 5-point scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The total score of the questionnaire varied between 19 and 95, and a higher score indicates a high level of dissatisfaction with the person's body image or appearance. Littleton et al. (2005) have shown that this tool has a very desirable validity and reliability. The validity of this questionnaire was checked by internal consistency method and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.93.The correlation coefficient of each question with the total score of the questionnaire was from 0.32 to 0.72 with an average of 0.62. Also, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the first and second factors was reported as 0.92 and 0.76, respectively, and the correlation coefficient between the two factors was 0.69. In Iran, in Mohammadi et al.'s study, the reliability coefficient of the two halves of this questionnaire was 0.66, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire was reported as 0.84. In the factor of dissatisfaction with appearance, 0.84 and in the factor of interference in social functioning, 0.74 has been r
