Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the relationship between the body mass index and life quality of ninth grade students after controlling their self esteem values. In the research Self-Esteem Scale was used to determine the points for self-esteem and Kiddo-Kindl-Adolescent Form was used for the perceptions of life quality. The students in the study group consists of 327 (45.3%) girls and 395 (54.7%) boys, It consists of a total of 722 students, and the average age is 15.2. When analyzed in terms of body mass index it was found out that of the students 16.8% are low weight, 70.9% are moderate and 12.3% are owerweight. When the results obtained by the research was examined it was observed that there are meaningful relationships between body mass index (BMI) values and self-esteem and life quality and between self-esteem and life quality. However, when the self-esteem values of the adolescent individuals were excluded within the scope of the research, the relationship between BMI and life quality points which previously show meaningful level positive relationship is almost non-existent. According to these findings the life quality of the adolescent obese may be low only if his/her self-esteem is low. The findings which obtained with this research were argued within the frames of existing research findings. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, dokuzuncu sınıf öğrencilerinin benlik saygıları kontrol altına alındıktan sonra beden kitle indeksi ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmada benlik saygısı puanlarını belirlemek için Kendine Saygı Ölçeği, yaşam kalitesi algıları için Kiddo-Kindl-Ergen Formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunda bulunan öğrencilerin 327'si (%45.3) kız ve 395'i (%54.7) erkek, toplam 722 öğrenciden oluşmuştur ve yaş ortalaması 15.2'dir. Beden kitle indeksleri bakımından incelendiğinde öğrencilerin %16,8'inin düşük kilolu, % 70.9’ unun orta ve %12.3' ünün obez olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde, öğrencilerin Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ) değerleri ile benlik saygısı ve yaşam kalitesi arasında ve benlik saygısı ile yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, araştırma kapsamında ergen bireylerin benlik saygısı değerleri dışta tutulduğunda, daha önce anlamlı düzeyde olumlu ilişki gösteren BKİ ve yaşam kalitesi puanları arasındaki ilişki neredeyse ortadan kalkmaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulguya göre ergen obez, ancak eğer benlik saygısı düşükse, yaşam kalitesinin de düşük olabileceğini göstermektedir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular var olan araştırma bulguları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
