Estetik ve Rekonstrüktif Cerrahi Hastalarında Beden Algısı

Year 2008, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 250 - 255, 23.03.2008

Abstract

Bireylerin beden algısı, yaşam boyu sürekli değişmekte, beden algısı bozukluklarının görülme sıklığı giderek artmaktadır. Tüm toplumların fiziksel görünüme, çekicilik, güzel ve yakışıklı olmaya verdikleri önem, hoş ve beğenilir olma arzusu nedeniyle insanlar daha sıklıkla estetik ameliyatlara yönelmektedirler. Bu araştırma, plastik ve rekonstrüktif cerrahi kliniğinde yatan hastaların ameliyat öncesi vücut algısını değerlendirmek amacıyla tanımlayıcı nitelikte yapılmıştır. Araştırma Gazi Üniversitesi Hastanesi Plastik ve Rekonstrüktif Cerrahi servisinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın Örneklemine 200 hasta alınmıştır. Veriler anket formu ve Beden Algısı Ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan hastaların % 42.5’i 15-24 yaş grubunda, % 70’i kadın, % 61’i lise ve üzeri öğrenimli, % 70’inin geliri giderlerini karşılamakta, % 50’sine estetik amaçlı ameliyat yapılmıştır. Estetik ve rekonstrüktif amaçlı tedavi için başvuran hastaların beden algısı ortalama puanları sırasıyla 92.01 ± 16.9; 80.18 ± 23.9’dur (p<0.05). Kadınların erkeklere oranla beden algılarının daha fazla bozulduğu (sırasıyla 89.10 ±20.9; 79.08 ± 21.3) belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Lise ve üzeri mezunların, çalışanların ve geliri giderini karşılayanların daha yüksek oranda estetik amaçlı tedaviye başvurdukları belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Ancak hastaların öğrenim düzeyi, çalışma ve ekonomik durumu gibi özelliklerinin beden algısını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir (p>0.05). Bu araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda, plastik ve rekonstrüktif cerrahi kliniğine başvuran hastaların beden algılarının bozulduğu ve kadınların plastik ve rekonstrüktif cerrahiye daha fazla başvurduğu saptanmıştır.
