    Nowadays, the rate of seeking aesthetic surgery is ever increasing. The importance of conducting psychosocial evaluation of the patients as well as evaluating physical health status during the perioperative period has been emphasized. The aim of the present study is to examine body image, dysfunctional attitudes, and depression in aesthetic surgery patients during the preoperative period. The study design was cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational. Data was collected during July 1st - September 1st, 2011 from 139 patients who presented at the aesthetic surgery clinic of two private hospitals, were admitted to the hospital for elective aesthetic surgery, and accepted to participate in the study. The Information Form, the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to the patients. The mean MBSRQ score of the patients was 205.31 +/- 25.42, the mean DAS score was 180.97 +/- 29.62, and the mean BDI score was 7.28 +/- 6.9. It was determined that there were significant correlations between the MBSRQ total score, the MBSRQ subscale scores, dysfunctional attitudes, and the BDI score. The health orientation subscale scores showed significant differences according to gender. It was determined that body image was related to dysfunctional attitudes and depressive symptoms in aesthetic surgery patients during the preoperative period. Gender and age affect some dimensions of body image in these patients. In the light of our results, it can be said that determining body image, dysfunctional attitudes, and depressive symptoms while conducting the psychosocial evaluation of patients during the preoperative period may play a significant role in preventing possible complications and clarifying expectations.

    (Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2020) Gurkan, Aysel; Aldemir, Kadriye; Andsoy, Isil Isik; Gul, Asiye
    Purpose: This study was conducted in order to compare the level of compliance and patient preferences among the Visual Analogue, Numerical Rating, Verbal Descriptor and Facial Pain Rating scales that are commonly used in adults, including the elderly. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a descriptive research model at the surgery clinics of a university hospital between March 17 and June 17, 2016. A total of 120 adult patients, being 40 in each group, were included in the study. Individual Characteristics Form, Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Rating Scale, Verbal Descriptor Scale and Facial Pain Scales were used to collect the data. Result: In this study, the correlation coefficients between 0.71 - 0.83 and four pain scales were found to be in conformity with each other. Numerical Rating Scale was the most simple scale that was preferred to be used in the future by all patients with the least error rate, while the Visual Descriptor Scale was the least simple and least preferred scale by the patients with the highest error rate. The most simple and more preferred scale to use by young and middle-aged patients was the Numerical Rating Scale, while the elderly selected the Visual Descriptor Scale as the most simple and more preferred scale to use. Conclusion: The four scales are in good agreement with each other and Numerical Rating Scale is the first choice, the Verbal Descriptor Scale is the second choice, and the Visual Analogue Scale is the last choice in evaluating the postoperative acute pain intensity.
