Examined body image and social adjustment in 21 adolescents who had completed cancer treatment and a healthy comparison group. Subjects completed questionnaires assessing body image and social adjustment and were videotaped during an interview. Raters blind to health status independently rated subjects' attractiveness. Cancer survivors reported less than half as many social activities as the healthy controls. No group differences were found on social anxiety, loneliness, or composite body image scores. However, within the cancer group, adolescents who had been off treatment longer reported lower self-worth, more social anxiety, and more negative body image perceptions, but were not rated as less attractive by observers. Findings suggest body image concerns and social anxiety may not develop until several years after treatment termination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
