Resumen

The objective of the study was to search for relationships of the influence of the perception of obesity on the relationship of partners, social interaction and fears, both in the family and work environment, in women from Tepic, Nayarit; Mexico. The research was based on the theory of Callista Roy. This theory had the meaning of identifying how the perception of its obesity in the relationship of pair, social interaction and fears influences, taking as reference the focal, contextual and residual stimuli. The method of work was structured with a qualitative perspective, with a qualitative and interpretative approach. Women were selected from that locality and a semi-structured interview was carried out in depth, later the recorded speeches were transcribed, an inductive analysis of the interpretative type was carried out to generate categories and to search for relations that had influence in the previously described objectives. The findings suggest that women who are obese have a perception of their altered body image that negatively influences their relationship, social interaction and fears. Apparently the obesity that each of the interviewed women has has repercussions of disapproval on their body image, a situation that makes them have conflicting relationships in the relationship.
