Abstract

This study was to investigate which predictors influenced the wish to undergo cosmetic surgery according to experience of cosmetic surgery in female college students. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used with self-report questionnaires, which were completed by 254 subjects. Data was analyzed with t-test and regression. There were statistically significant differences in acceptance and social motivation of cosmetic surgery and the wish to undergo cosmetic surgery in the future between the two groups. Body area satisfaction and acceptance of cosmetic surgery were significant predictors to the wish to undergo cosmetic surgery in the non-experienced group. The significant predictor of the wish to undergo cosmetic surgery for the experienced group was acceptance of cosmetic surgery. The findings from this study suggest that there is need to different approaches to discuss or council for wish to undergo cosmetic surgery according to individual cosmetic surgery experience.

본 연구는 여대생을 대상으로 미용성형 비경험군과 미용성형 경험군 각각의 미용성형욕구에 영향을 미치는 주요변수를 검증하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 목적은 미용성형 비경험군과 경험군의 미용성형욕구에 영향을 주는 변수를 검증하여 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 올바른 이해를 증진시키고, 미용성형을 추구하는 여대생을 상담하고 지도하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 254명으로 K도에 소재하고 있는 일개 대학의 여대생으로 편의표출에 의하여 선정되었다. 254명의 여학생 중 성형경험이 없는 비경험군 여학생이 142명(55.9%), 성형경험이 있는 경험군 여학생은 112명(44.1%)이었다. 미용성형 비경험군과 미용성형 경험군의 자아존중감, 신체상(외모지향, 외모평가, 신체만족도), 성형수술태도(성형을 받아들이는 정도, 사회적 동기, 개인내적인 동기) 및 미용성형욕구를 비교한 결과 미용성형 경험군이 비경험군보다 성형을 받아들이는 정도가 높았고, 사회적동기도 더 높았으나, 미용성형욕구는 미용성형 비경험군이 경험군보다 더 높았다. 미용성형 비경험군과 미용성형 경험군 각각의 미용성형욕구에 영향을 미치는 변수를 확인하기 위하여 단계적 회귀분석을 하였다. 미용성형 비경험군을 분석한 결과 성형태도 중 성형을 받아들이는 정도(${\beta}$=.46, p<.001)와 신체이미지 중 신체만족도(${\beta}$=-.23, p<.05)가 영향을 주는 변수이었으며, 미용성형욕구를 23.0% 설명하였다. 미용성형 경험군에서 영향을 미치는 변수는 성형태도 중 성형을 받아들이는 정도(${\beta}$=.47, p<.001)로서 미용성형욕구를 20.0% 설명하였다. 이와 같이 성형 경험 유무에 따라 미용성형 욕구에 영향을 미치는 요인이 다르므로 미용성형을 추구하는 여대생을 상담 시 성형 경험 유무에 따라 다른 접근 방법을 사용하는 것이 효과적일 것임을 시사하고 있다.
