Impact of Body Image Perception on Behavioral Outcomes in Chinese Adolescent and Young Adult Survivors of Sarcoma
Body image dissatisfaction was associated with more significant internalizing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and avoidant personality. A negative body image perception may mediate the association between poor family functioning and psychological distress among adult survivors. The provision of psychosocial intervention early during the cancer care continuum may mitigate the negative impact of body image distress in Chinese AYA survivors.
