Abstract

Low acceptance of body image can lead to behavioral changes and disorders such as depression, excessive desire to lose weight and dieting, eating disorders, as well as low self-esteem. This study aims to analyze the effect of using E-WoHealth on perceived body image, self-confidence, and Body Mass Index (BMI) among female adolescents. This study has obtained ethical approval issued by the Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University No.105/UN4.14.1/YP.01.02/2023 3.01.2023. This was a Quasi-Experimental quantitative study with the R&D (Research and Development) approach and two-group Pre-test-Post-test design. The current study was conducted at State SHS 4 of Palopo City from February 20 to March 30, 2023. A sample size consisted of 108 students, who were selected through a total sampling technique and were assigned into 2 groups, namely the intervention group and the control group consisted of 54 respondents, respectively. The study design developed and validated learning media called Education Woman Health, later abbreviated as E-WoHealth, as a website containing animated videos, text videos and e-booklets to be applied as educational media. The study findings indicated a significant increase in the post-test perceptions of respondents with a p-value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there are differences in perceptions of female adolescents after being given education using E-WoHealth. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group with a p-value 0.000 <0.05. It can be concluded that there was an effect of using web-based E-WoHealth on perceived body image, self-confidence and body mass index among female adolescents. Animated videos and e-booklets can be used as alternative educational medium to increase adolescents' perceptions for self-assessment to create self-confidence and a positive body image.
