Objectives: The purposes of this study were to examine prevalence, characteristics and comorbidity of BDD in Korean nurse college students.
Methods: Korean versions of BDDE-SR, MOCI, BDI, SES, LSAS were applied to 607 Korean nurse college students.
Results: 1) Five factors were extracted in BDDE-SR by factor analysis with the Varimax rotation. They were‘preoccupation, distress, embarrassment factor’,‘avoidance factor’,‘checking, comparing, camouflaging factor’,‘dissatisfaction factor’,‘importance factor’. 2) Sex differences in dissatisfied body parts on whole body, head hair, whole face, genitals, breasts were significant by chi-square test. 3) Eighteen participants(2.97%) were satisfied with DSM-IV criteria A and B of body dysmorphic disorder(BDD group). 4) The most dissatisfied body part was entire leg, eye, nose, waist-abdomen, calves in BDD group. 5) Differences between BDD group and non-BDD group on age and weight were significant by Mann-Whitney U-tests. 6) Differences between BDD group and non-BDD group on BDI, MOCI, LSAS-anxiety scale, LSAS-avoidance scale, SES were significant by Mann- Whitney U-tests. 7) Differences between men and female on BDDE-SR factor 1, BDDE-SR factor 2, BDDE-SR factor 3, BDDE-SR total factors, LSAS-avoidance scale were significant by Mann-Whitney U-tests. 8) Using multiple regression analysis the most contributing variance toward the total factor score of BDDE-SR of participants was BDI, and others were BMI, LSAS-anxiety scale, age, MOCI, SES in order of contribution.
Conclusion: Our results indicate that BDD is a common disorder and is highly associated with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, poor self-esteem. The authors suggest that future researches should be directed to obtaining clinical data of the patients with BDD.
