Psychiatric Disorders in Facial Plastic Surgery Discussion

Identify a clinical problem in your area of clinical interest. Discuss a gap in the current research literature that you can identify specific to your clinical problem (Chapter 3 & 5). Think about variables you will need to investigate to fill the gap in knowledge share with your group.

For example (this is just an example), increased CAUTI in critical care is a clinical problem you are familiar with. You hypothesize that silver tip catheters decrease the incidence of CAUTIs in critical care.  You as the researcher would like to investigate if this reduction in CAUTI can be attributed to silver tip catheters, but you are unable to find this in the literature. You develop a research problem stating this gap in the literature; Does the use of silver tip catheters in critical care units decrease the incidence of CAUTIS? The target population would be patients in critical care units with catheters. .The variables include CAUTI and silver tip catheters. The setting is critical care.

When someone does not like a specific aspect of their appearance, they can opt for aesthetic surgery to enjoy the emotional benefits that comes along with it; however, mental health disorders are more prominent in the population who obtain plastic surgery (Wever et al., 2020). While the positive outcome is often featured by advertising and airing pictures publicly on social sites, the person’s mental health is never discussed (Vandegrift & Nahai, 2021). Researchers have discussed complications surrounding facial aesthetic surgery (Wever et al., 2020), yet failed to examine body contouring surgery’s impact on an individual’s mental health.

Recovery after surgery is different for everyone. Some recover slowly while others experience a faster rehabilitation. According to Vandegrift and Nahai (2021), post-surgery presents common issues such as nausea and vomiting, pain, and body dysmorphia. A study by Wever et al., (2020) found that 20% of aesthetic patients battle against mental health disorders and out of those patients, a significant amount struggle with body dysmorphia or bipolar disorder. While researchers have identified a connection between surgery and mental health conditions such as depression, none has examined how aesthetic surgeries such as breast augmentation and liposuction impact mental health.

Within this context, my research question will be: what is the impact of post-aesthetic surgeries on mental health? My target population will be patients within the aesthetic surgery centers who have undergone the surgical procedures, specifically liposuction and breast augmentations. The setting will be aesthetic surgery centers while the variables will be post-aesthetic surgeries and mental health. Psychiatric Disorders in Facial Plastic Surgery Discussion

For example (this is just an example), the researcher decides to include temperature as a dependent variable (to support CAUTI) and needs to identify a measurement method for temperature. The researcher decides to use Bard Foley Catheters (Series 400 Temperature Sensing). The author would Include a description of Bard Temperature Sensing Foley Catheters (400 Series) from literature.

The researcher is also interested in anxiety and will include anxiety in their study as a secondary research question. What is the strength of the relationship between the length of foley catheter insertion and anxiety in patients cared for in the critical care environment? The researcher will measure anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The tool is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory (Links to an external site.) that is used for measuring the severity of anxiety (Links to an external site.) in children and adults. The tool has shown high internal consistency (α = .92) and test-retest reliability over 1 week, r(81) = .75. The BAI discriminated anxious diagnostic groups (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, etc.) from non-anxious diagnostic groups (major depression, dysthymic disorder, etc.). In addition, the BAI was moderately correlated with the revised Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, r(150) = .51, and was only mildly correlated with the revised Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, r(153) = .25. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016). The author would also note the reliability and validity of the instruments used in the study. Psychiatric Disorders in Facial Plastic Surgery Discussion

Physiological tool: Bard Temperature Sensing Foley Catheter (400 Series)

Psychosocial tool: Beck Anxiety Inventory

For this DB, you will identify both a psychosocial AND a physiological measurement tool that could be used to measure a concept in your area of interest. Post a brief description of the two types of measurement tools in your group discussion forum (one paragraph each). Identify support in the literature (can be from your articles you are using for this DB post) for the reliability and validity of the two types of tools and post a summary of the support (one paragraph) in your group discussion forum. Criteria for the physiological critique can be found in Gray, Grove, and Sutherland (2018) Chapter 16. Psychiatric Disorders in Facial Plastic Surgery Discussion
