|a As the number of women seeking breast augmentation surgery continues to rise, an increasing number of health professionals are likely to be confronted with questions, concerns, and complications that often accompany the procedure. Consequently, it is important that health care providers comprehend the degree to which self-esteem and/or sexuality may affect their patients’ outcomes. Healthcare professionals must ascertain specific nursing skills and attitudes while caring for the cosmetic surgical patient. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of the changes that occur in the levels of self-esteem, measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965), and sexuality, as measured by the Female Sexual Function Index (2000), following breast augmentation procedures. The following five hypotheses were tested using a descriptive research approach. They are as follows: H1, there will be a significant increase on the levels of self-esteem in means scores following breast augmentation. H2, there will be a significant increase on the levels of sexuality in mean scores following breast augmentation. H3, there will be a significant increase in the FSFI sexuality subscale scores (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) after receiving breast augmentation. H4, there will be a positive correlation between self-esteem, sexuality, and breast augmentation. H5, there will be a correlation between the demographic variables and levels of self-esteem and sexuality before and after receiving breast augmentation. Participants (84 women) were obtained from privately owned cosmetic surgical centers in South and North Central Florida. An experimental design paired difference t-test was used to analyze self-esteem and sexuality as reported by women undergoing breast augmentation, preoperatively and postoperatively. Repeated measures ANOVA, SAS’s Proc GLM tested differences in the sexuality six subscale scores (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, pain), and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficients (r), measured the differences in the relationship of sexuality and self-esteem following breast augmentation. Correlations between participants’ demographic profiles and their levels of self-esteem and sexuality were analyzed using ANOVA – SAS Proc GLM (General Linear Model) to determine the marginal means. The quantitative analysis was performed using a combination of Excel Solver Statistical Package and the SAS statistical system (SAS, 1999 - 2004). The knowledge gained from this research will educate nurses regarding the relationship of breast augmentation to self-esteem and sexuality, in order for nurses to provide the best care to this patient population. Additionally, nursing education programs can greatly benefit from research obtained from studies based on cosmetic surgical procedures, namely breast augmentation. Adding this knowledge throughout educational programs regarding the psychological and or sociological changes which occur in women following cosmetic surgery can significantly enhance patient outcomes following their procedure. |
