This cross-sectional study was conducted with 512 pregnant women in the obstetrics clinic of a tertiary hospital in China using convenience sampling. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires, consisting of demographic characteristics and a questionnaire for pregnant women on infant sleep safety based on TPB (12 items).

The Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale (DOS), a 10-item self-report questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale, assesses the obsession with healthy eating. This study evaluates the reliability and validity of the TR-DOS in the Turkish context and estimates the prevalence of ON among university students. Several studies have shown that translating the DOS into various linguistic groups may exhibit different models of DOS scores. However, the psychometric properties and model fit of the DOS have not yet been investigated in Turkish-speaking populations; to address this gap, we assessed the psychometric properties of a Turkish translation of DOS (TR-DOS) in a sample of 425 university students in Türkiye. The TR-DOS revealed a 7.3% ON prevalence and a 9.0% risk of development. Weak positive associations were observed between TR-DOS total scores and BMI (<i>r</i> = 0.152, <i>p</i> = .002). Exploratory Factor Analysis confirmed the validity of TR-DOS (KMO = 0.867) with satisfactory reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.854).
