A rapid increase has been observed in aesthetic surgery procedures in recent years and it has been determined that females have more aesthetic procedures. While different groups of female groups were taken as a sample in the studies, no study on female nurses was found. In this study, it is thought that psychological reasons such as stress, anxiety, desire to be liked and lack of self-confidence that lead women to plastic surgery will reduce the professional performance of nurses and this situation will create additional workload for other colleagues. Therefore, the aim of the study is to reveal the effect of desire to be liked and social appearance anxiety on the acceptance of female nurses to plastic surgery.
The population of the cross-sectional study consisted of 243.565 nurses working in public, private and university hospitals in Turkey. A questionnaire form was used as a data collection tool in the study. In the first part of the form, there are statements aiming to reveal the socio-demographic characteristics, social media usage levels and aesthetic surgery experiences of nurses, and in the second part, there is a desire to be liked scale, social appearance anxiety scale and aesthetic surgery acceptance scale. The 1004 questionnaire forms collected as a result of the study were subjected to percentage, frequency, correlation and regression analysis.
41.2% of the nurses have had aesthetic procedures before and 68.4% of them want to have aesthetic procedures when there is an area they do not like in their body. A strong positive relationship was found between the desire to be liked, social appearance anxiety, and aesthetic surgery acceptance (r > 0.500, p < 0.01). Aesthetic surgery acceptance is affected by the desire to be liked and by social appearance anxiety.
In the study, it was determined that social appearance anxiety and the desire to be liked led female nurses to plastic surgery. According to the results of similar studies conducted in different groups, it may be recommended that awareness training be organized both in schools and through digital media about the consequences of unnecessary plastic surgery.
近年来，美容手术的数量迅速增长，并且已确定女性接受的美容手术更多。虽然在研究中以不同的女性群体作为样本，但未发现有关女护士的研究。在本研究中，认为导致女性进行整形手术的心理原因，如压力、焦虑、渴望被喜欢和缺乏自信，会降低护士的专业表现，这种情况会给其他同事带来额外的工作量。因此，本研究的目的是揭示渴望被喜欢和社交外表焦虑对女护士接受整形手术的影响。
横断面研究的人群包括在土耳其公立、私立和大学医院工作的243565名护士。研究中使用问卷调查表作为数据收集工具。在表格的第一部分，有旨在揭示护士的社会人口统计学特征、社交媒体使用水平和美容手术经历的陈述，在第二部分，有渴望被喜欢量表、社交外表焦虑量表和美容手术接受量表。研究收集的1004份问卷进行了百分比、频率、相关性和回归分析。
41.2%的护士以前做过美容手术，其中68.4%的人在身体有不喜欢的部位时希望进行美容手术。在渴望被喜欢、社交外表焦虑和美容手术接受之间发现了很强的正相关关系（r＞0.500，p＜0.01）。美容手术接受受到渴望被喜欢和社交外表焦虑的影响。
在该研究中，确定社交外表焦虑和渴望被喜欢导致女护士进行整形手术。根据在不同群体中进行的类似研究结果，可能建议在学校和通过数字媒体组织关于不必要整形手术后果的意识培训。
