The findings were as follows : the subjects were more satisfied with their face appearance than body parts. They were very unsatisfied with thigh. leg and weight. Generally they were more satisfied with upper body than lower body, and more satisfied with length measurements than girth measurements. They accepted 169.19cm as ideal height and 49.18kg as ideal weight. The middle-school girls wanted to be taller than high-school girls by 3cm. But the ideal weight of both were almost same. The Rohrer indices indicated that the subjects were normal to slender type. But the Rohrer indices calculated using ideal height and ideal weight showed that the subjects thought extremely slender type as ideal body shape. The attitude of body was evaluated by two factors. the awareness of body shape and the physical attractiveness. The awareness of body shape was deeply influenced by girth measurements and lower body parts. And physical attractiveness was severely affected by face appearance. Weight was more important than height in regard to body cathexis. The ideal body shape was independent of individual situation but was formed by social value. The satisfaction of clothing in terms of design related aspects was influenced by body cathexis. Also the more satisfied with their body. the more they felt comfortable for their clothing.

남녀 고등학생을 대상으로 신체만족도와 외모관심도를 살펴보고 남녀고둥학생 각각을 신체만족도와 외모관심도에 따라 집단을 분류하여 집단간 외모관리행동과 의복추구혜택을 비교해 보았다. 신체만족도는 남녀학생 모두 낮았으며 여학생이 남학생보다 하반신과 전신에 대해 더 불만족하였다. 외모관심도는 남녀학생 모두 높았으며 여학생이 남학생보다 높게 나타났다. 신체만족도와 외모관심도에 따라 남학생은 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단, 중간인 집단, 낮은 집단의 세 집단으로 분류되었고, 대부분이 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 중간인 집단에 속하였다. 여학생의 경우 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단, 신체만족도는 높으나 외모관심도가 낮은 집단, 신체만족도는 낮으나 외모관심도가 높은 집단, 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 낮은 네 집단으로 분류되었고, 신체만족도는 낮으나 외모관심도가 높은 집단이 대부분을 차지하였다. 남학생은 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단과 중간인 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 외모관리행동을 더 하였으며, 여학생의 경우 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단 > 신체만족도는 낮으나 외모관심도가 높은 집단, 신체만족도는 높으나 외모관심도가 낮은 집단 > 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 낮은 집단 순으로 외모관리행동을 하였다. 여학생이 남학생보다 의복에서 심미성, 유행성, 유명상표, 경제성을 더 추구하였다. 남학생은 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단과 중간인 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 심미성, 유행성, 유명상표를 더 추구하였지만 경제성은 세 집단 모두 추구하지 알았다. 여학생은 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 높은 집단이 다른 세 집단에 비해 심미성과 유행성을 더 추구하였고, 유명상표 추구는 신체만족도와 외모관심도가 낮은 집단을 제외한 나머지 세 집단 모두에서 높게 나타났으며, 네 집단 모두 의복을 구입할 때 경제성을 고려하였다.

This study was attempted to identify the difference between body image of the patients with lower limb fracture and that of normal persons, and to examine if supportive group care could offer an apportunity for positive change in body image of the patient with lower limb fracture under the Quasi-experimental design. The subjects for this study were obtained by ta-king convenient sample of soldiers; the experimental group were 44 lower limb fractured patients hospitalized on the orthopedic Surgery unit in S Army General Hospital, while the control group were 44 normal enlisted men serving in the B Army regiment. Supportive group nursing care was given to the lower limb fractured patients who belong to the experimental group. Pre-and post-tests were administered to the experimental and the control group. The instruments to measure body image of the subjects were body Cathexis Scale developed by Scord and Jourard (1953) and Body Meaning Scale dove-loped by the reseacher. The reliability coefficients by Cronhach's u-test were .95 in body Cathexis Scale and .89 in Body Meaning Scale in this study. Data for this study were collected over a period 12 days from the 12th to the 24th of October, 1984 by the questionnaire. Data were analyzed by computer. Frequency, Percentage and x²-test were used to examine general chacteristics of the subjects. t-test was used to analyze the hypotheses. Analysis of variance was used to test difference in body image between groups classified by the general characteristics. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to identify the correlation between Body Cathexis Scale and Body Cathexis Scale and Body Meaning Scale. The results of this study were as follows: 1. No significant difference was found between the experimental and the control group on general characteristics of the subjects (p> .05). 2. Hypothesis I:“There will be a difference in body image between patiens with lower limb fracture and normal persons,”was supported(Body Cathexis t=6.91, p<.001, Body Meaning t=5.66, p< .001). 3. Hypothesis Ⅱ;“The will be a difference in body image of patients with lower limb fracture bet-ween after and before, supportive group nursing care was provided,”was supported (Body Cathexis t=5.90, p<.001, Body Meaning t=4.45, p <.001). 4. There was no significant difference in body image between groups classified by the general characteristics (p> .05). 5. The correlation between Body Cathexis Scale and Body Meaning Scale: It was reported that Body Cathexis Scale correlated with Body Meaning Scale in total subjects of the experimental and control group (r=.744, p<.001). That is, there was relatively high correlation between two scales. body Cathexis Scale correlated with Body Meaning Scale in the experimental group(r=.738, p <.001) and in the control group (r=.352, p <.001). That is, there was more than moderate correlation between two scales. In conclusion, it was found that there was a difference in body image between patients with lower limb fracture and normal persons, and supportive group nursing care offered an opportunity for positive change in body image of the patient with lower limb fracture.
