To describe the translation and cultural adaptation, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale when applied to Brazilian pregnant women.
Poor body image of pregnant women is associated with negative outcomes for maternal and child health. However, there is a lack of psychometric studies aiming to evaluate the body image experiences during pregnancy.
A methodological study was carried out with 187 Brazilian pregnant women. We performed translation and cross-cultural adaptation (evidence of content validity), and evaluated the psychometric properties (factorial validity through principal component analysis, discriminant validity, and estimated internal consistency) of the Brazilian version of the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale.
The scale items presented semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalences, showing evidence of content validity. Principal component analysis resulted in a 6-factor structure with 35 items which showed an adequate adjustment of the scale among Brazilian pregnant women. Adequate estimated internal consistency (Cronbach's = .88) was found. The Brazilian version was not able to discriminate pregnant women from different gestational age.
The Brazilian version of the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale showed evidence of content validity, factorial validity, and estimated internal consistency.
描述《孕期身体意象量表》的翻译及文化调适过程，并评估其应用于巴西孕妇时的心理测量学特性。
孕妇不良的身体意象与母婴健康的负面结果相关。然而，缺乏旨在评估孕期身体意象体验的心理测量学研究。
对187名巴西孕妇开展了一项方法学研究。我们进行了翻译和跨文化调适（内容效度证据），并评估了巴西版《孕期身体意象量表》的心理测量学特性（通过主成分分析的因子效度、区分效度和估计的内部一致性）。
量表项目呈现出语义、习语、文化和概念上的等效性，表明具有内容效度证据。主成分分析产生了一个包含35个条目的6因子结构，显示该量表在巴西孕妇中具有充分的适配性。发现具有充分的估计内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数 = 0.88）。巴西版无法区分不同孕周的孕妇。
巴西版《孕期身体意象量表》显示出内容效度、因子效度和估计的内部一致性证据。
