摘要
Students in health professions seeking to establish professional credibility through their appearance could be at greater risk of body dissatisfaction. Instagram posts featuring #rd2be (n = 865) or #nursingstudent (n=1610) were reviewed for body type and body image messages. A greater proportion of #rd2be posts contained images of thin or muscular bodies and text with body image-related messages than #nursingstudent posts. Posts with #nursingstudent had a higher prevalence of text expressing dissatisfaction with weight, fat, or muscle than posts with #rd2be. Results suggest that nursing and dietetics students may grapple with body image while establishing their professional identity.
