Obesitatearen estigma osasun profesionalengan: literaturaren berrikuspena

Abstract

This literature review aims to explore stigmatising beliefs and behaviours around obesity among healthcare professionals to detect, raise awareness and reduce these behaviours. In the systematic search, 31 articles were selected. The results reported that health professionals have a stigmatising view of obesity and implicit and explicit negative attitudes towards people with obesity, affecting their physical and psychological health. Future research should address interventions to eradicate obesity stigma among healthcare professionals. Psychology professionals should be trained in effective psychological therapies to promote the mental health of people living with obesity.
