迦勒底裔美国人对整形与重建外科的看法

文献信息

中文摘要

背景： 文化和宗教信仰影响对整形外科的看法，但迦勒底裔美国人——一个来自伊拉克北部的族教少数群体——的态度尚未被描述。
目的： 本研究旨在评估迦勒底裔美国人社区对美容与重建外科的态度，并识别相关的文化、宗教和人口学因素。
方法： 对美国迦勒底裔美国人（年龄≥18岁）实施了一项横断面Qualtrics调查。参与者通过底特律大都市区的滚雪球抽样招募。使用描述性统计和基于性别的比较分析人口学、既往手术、手术兴趣、性别偏好和宗教影响的数据。
结果： 在104名受访者中（54.8%女性，45.2%男性；平均年龄27.1岁），22.1%报告既往接受过美容手术。女性接受手术的可能性显著高于男性（31.6% vs 10.6%，P = .008），并对未来手术表达更高的总体兴趣（P < .001）。在曾接受美容手术的受访者中，鼻整形术是最常见的手术（65.2%）。男性在美容和重建病例中均显著偏好男性外科医生（P < .001）。35.6%的受访者将宗教列为冲突因素，男性更可能报告宗教影响（P = .007）。女性对所有形式的乳房切除术后乳房重建表现出更大的支持（P = .0017）。
结论： 在这项针对迦勒底裔美国人的探索性调查中，对整形外科的态度因性别和宗教信仰而异。受访者中鼻整形术的突出程度与其他中东人群所描述的趋势相似。尽管这些发现不一定能推广至所有迦勒底裔美国人，但它们提供了初步见解，可能有助于外科医生提供文化上知情的照护，并支持对这一研究不足人群的未来研究。

英文摘要

BACKGROUND: Cultural and religious beliefs influence perceptions of plastic surgery, yet attitudes among Chaldean Americans, an ethnoreligious minority from northern Iraq, remain uncharacterized.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate attitudes toward cosmetic and reconstructive surgery within the Chaldean American community and identify associated cultural, religious, and demographic factors.
METHODS: A cross-sectional Qualtrics survey was administered to US Chaldean Americans (age ≥18). Participants were recruited through snowball sampling in metropolitan Detroit. Data on demographics, previous procedures, surgical interest, gender preferences, and religious influence were analyzed using descriptive statistics and sex-based comparisons.
RESULTS: Among 104 respondents (54.8% women, 45.2% men; mean age 27.1), 22.1% reported a previous cosmetic procedure. Women were significantly more likely than men to have had a procedure (31.6% vs 10.6%, P = .008) and expressed higher overall interest in future surgery (P < .001). Rhinoplasty was the most common procedure among respondents who had undergone cosmetic surgery (65.2%). Men significantly preferred male surgeons for both cosmetic and reconstructive cases (P < .001). Religion was cited as a conflicting factor by 35.6% of respondents, with men more likely to report religious influence (P = .007). Women demonstrated greater support for all forms of postmastectomy breast reconstruction (P = .0017).
CONCLUSIONS: In this exploratory survey of Chaldean Americans, attitudes toward plastic surgery varied according to sex and religious beliefs. The prominence of rhinoplasty among respondents parallels trends described in other Middle Eastern populations. Although these findings are not necessarily generalizable to all Chaldean Americans, they provide preliminary insights that may assist surgeons in delivering culturally informed care and support future research in this understudied population.
