Abstract

The objective of this study was to adapt the Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy Scale into the Turkish language and to examine the psychometric properties in pregnancy. The methodological study was conducted with 508 healthy pregnant women. Language validation, content validation, and pilot scheme are the three phases of cultural adaptation of the scale. The construct validity of the scale was analyzed using both Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. The reliability of the scale was tested using parallel-form reliability, test-retest reliability, Cronbach's α coefficient of internal consistency, and item-total correlation. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis conducted supports the three-factor structure of the scale that is constructed by Exploratory Factor Analysis. We determined Cronbach’s α coefficient of internal consistency to vary between 0.78 and 0.88 for the scale total and the subscales. Besides, there was a high correlation between the parallel-form reliability, test-retest reliability, and item-total correlation of the scale. The Turkish version of Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy Scale is a validated and reliable tool designed to evaluate the body image concerns of Turkish pregnant women.

GEBELİKTE VÜCUT ALGISI ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE UYARLAMASI: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, gebelere uygulanacak şekilde Gebelikte Vücut Algısı Ölçeğinin Türkçe'ye uyarlaması ve gebelerdeki psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Metodolojik nitelikte tasarlanan bu araştırma, toplam 508 sağlıklı gebe ile yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin kültürel adaptasyon süreci dil geçerliliği, kapsam geçerliliği ve pilot uygulama olarak 3 aşamada gerçekleştirildi. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini test etmek amacıyla Açımlayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri kullanıldı. Ölçeğin güvenirliği; cronbach’s α iç tutarlık kat sayısı, madde toplam korelasyonu, test-tekrar test analizi ve paralel form güvenirliği ile değerlendirildi. Yapılan Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi, Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi ile oluşturulan ölçeğin üç faktörlü yapısını desteklemektedir. Ölçek toplam ve alt boyutlarında cronbach’s α iç tutarlık kat sayısının 0.78 ile 0.88 arasında değiştiği saptandı. Ayrıca, ölçeğin madde toplam korelasyonu, test-tekrar test analizi ve paralel formlar güvenirliği yüksek korelasyona sahipti. Araştırmada Gebelikte Vücut Algısı Ölçeğinin Türk gebe kadınlardaki vücut algısı düzeyini değerlendirmede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu belirlenmiştir.
