    TLDR Nursing students in Turkey have a moderate acceptance of cosmetic surgery, influenced by education, urban background, personal connections to those who had surgery, perception of risk, and desire for awareness training.
    The study examined the acceptance level of aesthetic/cosmetic surgery among 179 nursing students at a university in western Turkey. The majority of the students were women (84.9%), and 58.1% had income equal to expenses. Only 2.8% of students had previous experience of aesthetic surgery, but 29.1% had a friend or family member who had undergone such a procedure. The study found that 44.7% believed those who underwent aesthetic surgery were stigmatized by the community, while 48.6% thought aesthetic surgery was not riskier than other surgical procedures. The mean Cosmetic Surgery Acceptance Scale (CSAS) score was 56.11±21.80, indicating a moderate acceptance level. Factors significantly affecting acceptance levels included having a father with an undergraduate degree or higher, living in the city center before university, having a friend/family member with previous aesthetic surgery, not seeing aesthetic surgery as riskier than other procedures, and seeking awareness training about aesthetic surgery.
