Resumen:
Objective: To examine the intervention programs that have been conducted on body image in adolescents.
Materials and methods: The PRISMA statement was used in this
review. The search for studies was conducted in PubMed, Web
of Science, MEDLINE-ProQuest, and EBSCO databases from
January 1, 2017, to January 25, 2022. Methodological quality
was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies, developed by the Effective Public Health Practice Project.
Results: Eight studies were included, most of which had a
strong methodological quality. The results obtained after the
implementation of the programs reflected favorable changes in
body image and body satisfaction for adolescents between 11
and 18 years old, only for five studies. Additionally, five studies
maintained the same changes at follow-up.
Conclusions: Findings from this review allow us to conclude that
intervention programs are a safe and effective way to influence
adolescent body image.
