ملخص المقالة :
این پژوهش به مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری نگرانی از تصویر بدنی و آسیب‌های روان‌شناختی با نقش میانجی‌گری خودانتقادی در بین دانشجویان پرداخت. هدف این مطالعه، بررسی تأثیر نگرانی از تصویر بدنی بر آسیب‌های روان‌شناختی و نقش واسطه‌ای خودانتقادی در این رابطه بود. روش تحقیق از نظر هدف، کاربردی؛ از نظر جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، توصیفی-همبستگی از نوع مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری؛ و از منظر ماهیت داده‌ها، کمی بود. جامعه آماری شامل کلیه دانشجویان دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد زنجان در سال تحصیلی ۱۴۰۳-۱۴۰۲ به تعداد ۱۲ هزار نفر بود. با استفاده از نمونه‌گیری خوشه‌ای و تصادفی ساده، ۳۸۴ نفر به عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. ابزارهای پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه نگرانی از تصویر بدنی لیتلتون و همکاران (۲۰۰۵)، پرسشنامه علائم روان‌شناختی (SCL-25-R) روگاتیس (2000) و مقیاس خودانتقادی تامسون و زوروف (۲۰۰۰) بود. داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزارهای SPSS و PLS مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفتند. نتایج تحلیل‌های آماری نشان داد نگرانی از تصویر بدنی به طور معناداری بر آسیب‌های روان‌شناختی تأثیر دارد و خودانتقادی نقش میانجی در این رابطه ایفا می‌کند. در واقع، نگرانی از تصویر بدنی هم به صورت مستقیم (ضریب مسیر = ۹۰۵/۰، ۰۰۰/۰ = P) و هم از طریق خودانتقادی به صورت غیرمستقیم (ضریب مسیر = ۹۳۰/۰، ۰۰۰/۰ = P) تأثیر معناداری بر آسیب‌های روان‌شناختی دارد. نتیجه‌گیری می‌شود، توجه به نگرانی از تصویر بدنی و خودانتقادی می‌تواند در پیشگیری و کاهش آسیب‌های روان‌شناختی مؤثر باشد. این نتایج می‌تواند به سیاست‌گذاران و متخصصان سلامت روان در طراحی مداخلات هدفمند برای ارتقاء سلامت روان دانشجویان کمک کند.
