Abstract
Objective: The present research aims to adapt the Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy Scale (BUMPs) to Turkish, determine its psychometric properties, and examine the correlation between prenatal attachment and body image perception of pregnant women.
Methods: Three hundred seventy-one pregnant women were enrolled in the research. The original English version of the BUMPs was translated into Turkish using forward-backward translation logic. The scale's reliability was evaluated with item analysis, internal consistency analysis, and test-retest reliability. Turkish version of the BUMPs and Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) were filled out by pregnant women. The relationship between them was evaluated by correlation analysis.
Results: The mean week of gestation was 25.25 ± 8.26 (min: 12, max: 41). The Turkish version of the BUMPs exhibited satisfactory psychometric properties. The t-values, factor loadings, and fit indices of the scale items of the Turkish version were at an acceptable and excellent level. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the 18-item, three-factor construct was confirmed for the Turkish version of the scale. In the Turkish version of the scale, there are three subscales, including satisfaction with appearing pregnant, weight gain concerns, and physical burdens of pregnancy. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the overall scale was 0.84. A significant correlation was determined between the scores of the Turkish version of the BUMPs and the PAI (r = -0.263; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the BUMPs is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining pregnant women's body image perception. Prenatal attachment increases with the increasing body image perception of pregnant women.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology reports and reviews outstanding research on psychological, behavioural, medical and social aspects of human reproduction, pregnancy and infancy. Medical topics focus on obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry. The growing work in relevant aspects of medical communication and medical sociology are also covered. Relevant psychological work includes developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, behavioural medicine, psychology of women and health psychology.
