身体艺术,包括纹身和穿孔,在世界范围内稳步增长,但不良结果的报告相对有限。本研究的目的是确定有助于预防策略的相关性,以最大程度地减少身体艺术的不利影响。
我们研究了人体艺术的模式,921名参与者的健康风险和认知(54%为女性,平均年龄35岁;SD=10.8)通过面对面问卷。
拥有人体艺术的人的频率明显较低,这表明并非所有场所(客厅,诊所,等。)在健康和卫生方面是安全的(84.7%tvs.96.6%,p<.001)与没有身体艺术的人相比。同样,对卫生部认证需要的知识报告频率较低(77.2%vs.94.5%,p<.001)在那些有身体艺术的人中。那些经历过医疗并发症的人报告说,吸烟和水烟以及使用摇头丸(MDMA)的频率更高。使用摇头丸的人在身体艺术后发生医疗并发症的风险高4倍(OR=3.97;CI1.0-14.4;p<0.05)。此外,与工作室或有执照的医疗中心相比,街道或家庭纹身高出3倍以上(OR=3.59;CI1.32-9.76;p<.01),在表演人体艺术之前没有收到信息的人中,几乎高出3倍(OR=2.70;CI1.05-6.92;p<.05),并且有其他人决定进行人体艺术设计(OR=2.68;CI1.00-7.19;p<.05)。
应该制定一个有针对性的信息预防计划,了解本研究中强调的风险。此外,有必要起草与监管和执法有关的政策,以便更有效地管理人体艺术服务的提供。卫生部应监督和指导纹身师和从业人员有关人体艺术的健康风险,并提供培训并提高潜在客户的认识。
Body-art, including tattoos and piercings, is steadily increasing world-wide but with relatively limited reporting of adverse outcomes. The objective of the present
study was to identify correlates that would facilitate a preventative strategy to minimize adverse effects of body-art.
We examined patterns of body-art, health risk and perceptions among 921 participants (54% female, mean age of 35; SD = 10.8) through in-person questionnaire.
A significantly lower frequency of those with body-art acknowledged that not all venues (parlors, clinics, etc.) are safe in terms of health and hygiene (84.7%t vs. 96.6%, p < .001) as compared to those without body-art. Similarly, knowledge of the need for a Ministry of Health certification was reported with lower frequency (77.2% vs. 94.5%, p < .001) among those with body-art. Those who experienced medical complications reported higher frequencies of smoking cigarettes and hookah as well as using ecstasy (MDMA). The risk of medical complication after body-art was 4 times higher in those who used ecstasy (OR = 3.97; CI 1.0-14.4; p < 0.05). In addition, it was more than 3 times higher for street or home tattooing as compared to studio or a licensed medical center (OR = 3.59; CI 1.32-9.76; p < .01), as well as almost 3 times higher among those who did not receive information before performing body-art (OR = 2.70; CI 1.05-6.92; p < .05) and who had somebody other than themselves decide on the body-art design (OR = 2.68; CI 1.00-7.19; p < .05).
A targeted informational-preventative program should be developed, informed by the risks highlighted in this
study. In addition, it would be necessary to draft policies related to regulation and enforcement in order to more effectively manage body-art service provision. The Ministry of Health should supervise and guide tattooists and practitioners regarding the health risks of body-art and offer training and raise awareness among potential clients.
