Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine influencing factors on plastic surgery addiction tendency. The participants, 223 undergraduate women, completed the ACSS, SATAQ, and MBSRQ. Data were collected from May, 2014 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, ANOVA, logistic regression analysis. Each of variables related to plastic surgery were analyzed between positive expectation group, addiction risk group, or addiction group compared to stable group. The prevalences of stable, positive expectation, addiction risk, and addiction group were 21.1%, 35.0%, 32.7%, and 11.2%, respectively. 45.7% had at least one personal plastic surgery. Personal experience of plastic surgery, high levels of ACSS (Consider), high levels of SATAQ (Internalization), and high levels of MBSRQ (Appearance Evaluation) were all associated with plastic surgery addiction tendency. The results of this study suggest that prevention of early plastic surgery, sociocultural influence and body image disturbances as well as safe guidance for plastic surgery are important in preventing the plastic surgery addiction.

본 연구에서는 여대생의 미용성형 중독성향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하였다. 여대생 223명을 단순무작위 표집하여 성형수술 수용성, 외모에 대한 사회문화적 척도, 신체-자아에 대한 다차원 설문지, 자아존중감을 조사하였다. 자료수집은 2014년 5월에 이루어졌고 서술적 통계, chi-square test, ANOVA, logistic regression analysis로 분석하였다. 성형중독 성향과 관련된 각각의 변수를 안정군, 긍정적기대군, 중독위험군, 중독군과 비교분석하였다. 연구결과 안정군 21.1%, 긍정적기대군 35.0%, 중독위험군 32.7%, 중독군 11.2%가 확인되었고, 전체의 45.7%는 성형수술의 개인적인 경험이 있었다. 미용성형의 경험, 높은 성형수술 수용성, 높은 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도, 높은 신체상(외모평가)은 미용성형 중독성향을 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 일반인들을 위한 성형중독 예방, 조기 발견 및 치료 프로그램을 개발하고 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 미용성형 중독을 예방하기 위해 안전 가이드라인의 도입이 필요하고, 조기성형수술, 사회문화적 영향, 신체상 변형의 예방이 중요하다고 제안한다.
