Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Body experience is an important facet of psychosocial functioning and health. However, to date no test exists to measure body experience in adults with mild intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF). We therefore adapted the Body Experience Questionnaire (BEQ) to this group, resulting in the BEQ-mb, and evaluated its usability, comprehensibility, and reliability. Method The BEQ-mb was developed in five stages: concept development, focus group, verbal reports, pilot testing, and evaluation. Results The BEQ-mb is applicable in, and comprehensible by, adults with MID-BIF. Internal consistency is good for the total scale and the body awareness and body satisfaction subscales, but low for the body attitude subscale. Test–retest reliability is excellent for the total scale and the subscales. Conclusion The BEQ-mb unlocks new opportunities for clinical examination and research on body experience. Future research is needed to investigate its structural validity.

成人轻度智障或边缘性智障身体体验问卷(BEQ-mb)的编制与初步评价

身体体验是心理社会功能和健康的一个重要方面。然而，到目前为止，还没有任何测试可以测量轻度智力残疾和边缘智力功能（MID-BIF）成年人的身体体验。因此，我们将身体体验问卷（BEQ）适用于这一群体，产生了BEQ mb，并评估了其可用性、可理解性和可靠性。方法BEQ-mb分五个阶段开发：概念开发、焦点小组、口头报告、试点测试和评估。结果BEQ-mb在成人MID-BIF患者中适用，且易于理解。总体量表、身体意识和身体满意度分量表的内部一致性较好，但身体态度分量表的内在一致性较低。测试-重新测试的可靠性在总量表和分量表中都很好。结论BEQ-mb为临床检查和身体体验研究开辟了新的机遇。未来的研究需要调查其结构有效性。
