Objective:To explore the path way of self-acceptance and implicit attitude on perceived stress and body image disorder among patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy, and provide a basis for clinical medical staff to develop intervention measures to reduce patients′ body image impairment.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling from October 2018 to October 2023 on patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy who visited the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Medical College Affiliated Union Hospital. The survey included the General Information Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Self-Acceptance Questionnaire, Implicit Association Test, and Body Image Scale.Results:Finally, 310 questionnaires were distributed in total, 303 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.7%. Among the 303 patients, there were 87 males and 216 females, aged 25-78 (44.07 ± 4.76) years. The scores for body image impairment, perceived stress, self-acceptance, and implicit attitude in patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy were (16.51 ± 4.19), (38.36 ± 6.74), (33.49 ± 10.07), and (0.45 ± 0.11) points, respectively; there was a perceived stress positively correlated with body image disorder and implicit attitude ( r=0.829, 0.636, both P<0.05), perceived stress also negative correlated with self-acceptance ( r=-0.807, P<0.05). The mediating model showed that perceived stress not only had a significant direct effect on body image disorder ( β=0.409, P<0.05), but also indirectly affected body image disorder through three paths, including the independent mediating effect of self-acceptance ( β=0.125, P<0.05), and implicit attitude ( β=0.195, P<0.05), as well as the chain mediating effect of self-acceptance and implicit attitude ( β=0.022, P<0.05), which accounting for 45.5% of the total effect. Conclusions:Self-acceptance and implicit attitude play mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress and body image disorder in patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy, medical staff can promote self-acceptance by enhance self-compassion, correct negative implicit attitude, decrease the effect of perceived stress on body image disorder in patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy.
