Body Image and its Relationship to Psychological and Social Adaptation Among Burn Victims in Riyadh
Abstrct
The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between body image and psychosocial adjustment in a group of burn victims in Riyadh. The research sample included 457 individuals who had sustained burns of varying degrees (second and third degrees). Al-Noubi (2010) developed a body image scale for individuals with physical disabilities, while El-Deeb (1988) created a personal and social compatibility scale, ensuring the tools' psychometric effectiveness. The study findings revealed that average values of the body image scale and psychosocial adaptation scale dimensions were observed among women who had experienced burns. The correlation coefficients between performance on the scale of body image and performance on the scale of psychosocial adaptation among women with burns in Riyadh were statistically significant. The correlation was positive and significant between most dimensions of body image and most dimensions of psychosocial adaptation, at different levels of significance. The study's results indicated the potential to forecast psychosocial adjustment based on data related to body image and dimensions among burn victims in Riyadh. The measurements of psychosocial adaptation have been categorised based on their averages. Psychological compatibility ranked first, followed by physical compatibility in second place, family compatibility in third place, and social compatibility in fourth place. The overall average of the psychosocial adaptation scale falls within the middle category. The average dimensions of the body image were all within the normal range, as it came after accepting imperfect body parts and followed a consistent pattern. The general body parts came in second place, with the psychological perspective of body shape ranking third. The intellectual standpoint of body shape followed in fourth place, and the social standpoint of body shape came in fifth. Overall, the general average of the body image scale fell into the medium category.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
