Abstract

Background

Examining psychological aspects of cosmetic surgery has gained considerable attention in the research literature, particularly among women. The present study aimed to examine the role of three self-worth variables including self-esteem, narcissism, and self-perceived attractiveness on interest in cosmetic surgery among Iranian women.

Methods

Three hundred women were selected and completed a set of measures including Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Single-Item Narcissism Scale, and self-perceived attractiveness. Pearson correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used in statistical analyses.

Results

The results showed that participants were moderately interested in cosmetic surgery. Moreover, self-esteem and self-perceived attractiveness could significantly predict interest in cosmetic surgery. On the other hand, narcissism was not significantly correlated with interest in undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Conclusions

Findings support the notion that self-worth variables have a significant relationship with interest in cosmetic surgery. The present results are discussed in relation to previous evidence investigating the variables which are associated with interest in cosmetic surgery.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
