“…Precocious puberty causes those in lower grades in elementary school to have distinct sexual development, which leads to feelings of shyness and awkwardness, resulting in a change to their body image [13]. Previous studies have reported that girls with precocious puberty experienced anxiety related to body changes and dissatisfaction with their body shape changes, suggesting the necessity of research closely related to their physical growth and emotional adaptation [14]. Therefore, identifying the psychological and emotional statuses of children with precocious puberty is considered very important at a time when the number of children with the condition is increasing.…”

The study compared body image and levels of self-esteem and depression between girls with precocious puberty and typical girls, identifying relationships between variables. Data were collected from July until August 2014. Study participants were first-to fourthyear female students in the D region who were diagnosed with precocious puberty in E university hospital and typical students in the same grades in the same region. The participants included 125 female students with precocious puberty and 176 typical students. Parents of both groups of females also participated. Using propensity score matching, 94 girls with precocious puberty and 94 typical girls were selected and their data were analyzed.The study used a body image scale called the Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale, a tool to measure self-esteem, in addition to the Children's Depression Inventory. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program.There was a significant difference in body image (t=4.78, p<.001), self-esteem (t=3.81, p<.001), and depression (t=-3.32, p=.001) between the two groups.The two groups showed that body image had a positive correlation with self-esteem and self-esteem had a negative correlation with depression. The analysis of girls with precocious puberty showed that body image had a negative correlation with depression, but typical girls showed that body image had a no correlation with depression. The study indicates the necessity for health education at home and school to help girls with precocious puberty perceive their body image in a positive way so that they can achieve healthy growth and development. In addition, this study can be used as a basis for understanding children with precocious puberty and for developing nursing interventions to promote psychosocialhealth.

“…School-aged children who have undergone precocious puberty become aware of their physical differences in height, weight, and secondary sexual characteristics, and they often react sensitively to these differences compared to their peers [13,14]. As a result, they have limited time to accept and understand these body changes, which can lead to feelings of fear and confusion about their rapid development [15].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of precocious puberty and elucidate the distinct characteristics of each type of perception related to precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone treatment for the condition.Methods: This study applied the Q methodology to identify and classify the perceptions of precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone treatment for the condition. The analysis involved 34 questions from the Q sample and data from 35 individuals in the P sample, using the PC-QUANL Program for analysis.Results: The perceptions of precocious puberty among school-aged children who had undergone precocious puberty treatment were classified into the following four types: "shyness - passive self-management," "resentment - suppression," "anxiety - fear," and "adaptation - acceptance." Conclusion: This study investigated the experiences and perceptions of children who have undergone treatment for precocious puberty. Through the identification of four types of perceptions, we can see that there is a need to develop an intervention program for nursing that is tailored to the specific type of precocious puberty.

“…Children with precocious puberty should cope with physical changes earlier than their peers do while their psychological growth doesn't keep up with their fast biological growth [2]. Precocious puberty causes those in lower grades of elementary school to have distinct sexual development, which leads them to feel shyness and awkwardness, resulting in change in their body image [3]. Therefore, identifying psychological and emotional status of children with precocious puberty is considered very important at a time when the number of children with the condition is increasing.…”
