dc.description | Eating disorders (EDs) represent a significant public health challenge, especially among adolescents, who are particularly vulnerable to beauty stereotypes and the influence of social media. This study, conducted with 60 students from the Nicolás Infante Díaz Educational Unit, aimed to determine the relationship between EDs and self-esteem, using a descriptive-correlational design.
The SCOFF questionnaire was used to identify the risk of EDs, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was employed to assess self-esteem levels. The results showed that 63% of participants were at risk of developing EDs, while 50% exhibited low self-esteem, 25% medium self-esteem, and 25% high self-esteem. Furthermore, a correlational analysis revealed a weak negative relationship (-0.15094) between the two variables, suggesting that low self-esteem may be slightly associated with a higher risk of EDs, although the relationship is not significant.
These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-esteem in adolescents as a preventive strategy to reduce the risk of EDs and improve their emotional and physical well-being. Developing effective support networks and educational programs focused on promoting a positive self-image could be key interventions to address this issue. | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) representan un desafío significativo para la salud pública, especialmente en adolescentes, quienes son vulnerables a los estereotipos de belleza y la influencia de las redes sociales. Este estudio, realizado con 60 estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Nicolás Infante Díaz, tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre los TCA y la autoestima, utilizando un diseño descriptivo-correlacional.
Se emplearon el Cuestionario SCOFF para identificar el riesgo de TCA y la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg para evaluar los niveles de autoestima. Los resultados reflejaron que el 63% de las participantes presentaban riesgo de desarrollar TCA, mientras que el 50% mostró autoestima baja, el 25% autoestima media y el 25% autoestima alta. Además, un análisis correlacional indicó una relación negativa débil (-0.15094) entre ambas variables, lo que sugiere que un nivel bajo de autoestima puede asociarse ligeramente con un mayor riesgo de TCA, aunque la relación no es significativa.
Esto destaca la importancia de fortalecer la autoestima en adolescentes como estrategia preventiva para reducir el riesgo de TCA y mejorar su bienestar emocional y físico. La creación de redes de apoyo efectivas y programas educativos centrados en la promoción de una autoimagen positiva podrían ser intervenciones clave para abordar este problema | es_ES |
