Relationship Between Physical Changes and Teen Confidence During Puberty

Abstract

During puberty, adolescents experience changes both physically and psychologically. This study aimed to understand the relationship between physical changes and self-confidence during puberty. This study is a quantitative study with a correlational approach, the population of young women is 60 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling (n=40), and the data analysis was done using the Chi-Square Test. This study shows that there is a relationship between physical changes and self-confidence during puberty in relation to: BMI (P value 0.007; OR: 0.104), breast enlargement (P value 0.001; OR: 0.071,) acne on the face (P value 0.040; OR: 5.067) and hip and waist circumference (P value 0.004; OR: 0.059). The results of the analysis of 40 female adolescent respondents during puberty show that there is a relationship between physical changes and self-confidence during puberty. They were provided education about a healthy lifestyle (regular diet and exercise) and caring for and maintaining facial skin to prevent acne from arising.
