Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the levels of self-esteem, self-confidence, and social support in patients undergoing plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February and May 2023 in a hospital, involving 152 individuals who underwent plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. Ethics committee approval for the research was received from the university. The study utilized a face-to-face survey method. Personal Data Form, “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale”, “Coppersmith Self-Confidence Scale”, and “Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS)” were used. Percentage, average, t test in independent groups, one way ANOVA analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: In our study, the mean score of the individuals on the Self-Confidence scale was determined as 132.13±18.89, and the mean score on the Rosenberg self-esteem scale was determined as 22.77±2.52. The total mean score for the MSPSS was determined as 71.09±14.38. The self-confidence scale score of individuals who were satisfied with their appearance was significantly higher compared to those who were not satisfied (p<0.001). Furthermore, a statistically significant and positive correlation was observed between the Coppersmith Self Esteem Rating Scale and the MSPSS.
Conclusion: It was found that patients undergoing plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery had a high level of self-confidence and a moderate level of self-esteem. It was determined that as perceived social support increased, individuals' self-confidence also increased. It is recommended to psychologically evaluate individuals who will undergo aesthetic surgery and provide support to them after the surgery.

Plastik, Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi Olan Hastalarda Benlik Saygısı, Özgüven ve Sosyal Destek Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma plastik, rekonstrüktif ve estetik cerrahi olan hastalarda benlik saygısı, özgüven ve sosyal destek düzeylerinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türde yürütülen bu çalışma, Şubat-Mayıs 2023 tarihleri arasında bir hastanede yatmakta olan plastik, rekonstrüktif ve estetik cerrahi ameliyatı olan 152 birey ile yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma için etik kurul onayı üniversiteden alınmıştır. Çalışma verileri Kişisel Veri Formu, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Özgüven Ölçeği, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzdelik, ortalama, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, one way ANOVA analizi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda bireylerin Öz-güven ölçeği puan ortalaması 132.13±18.89, Rosenberg benlik saygısı ölçeği puan ortalaması ise 22.77±2.52 olarak belirlenmiştir. Çok boyutlu algılanan sosyal destek ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 71.09±14.38 olarak saptandı. Görünümünden memnun olan bireylerin öz güven ölçeği puanı istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde görünümünden memnun olmayanlara kıyasla daha yüksek düzeyde saptandı (p<0.001). Öz Güven Ölçeği ile Çok boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde ve pozitif yönde bir korelasyon olduğu saptandı.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada plastik, rekonstrüktif ve estetik cerrahi olan hastalarda öz güven düzeyi yüksek, benlik saygısı orta düzeyde saptandı. Algılanan sosyal destek arttıkça bireylerin öz güvenlerinin arttığı belirlendi. Estetik ameliyat olacak bireylerin psikolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesi ve ameliyat sonrası desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
