This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between women's attitudes toward sexuality during pregnancy and their body image and to determine the predictors of pregnant women's sexual attitudes. The research was conducted with 515 pregnant women in Turkey. Study data were collected using a sociodemographic data form, the Attitude Scale toward Sexuality during Pregnancy, and the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale. As women's positive attitudes toward sexuality increased, their dissatisfaction with their body image decreased. It was determined that women with a positive body image during pregnancy had a less anxious attitude toward sexual intercourse, developed positive beliefs and values toward sexuality, and approved of sexuality during pregnancy. The factors that explained 15.8% of pregnant women's attitudes towards sexuality were body image, age, gestational week, satisfaction with sexuality during pregnancy, and knowledge of sexuality during pregnancy. It is recommended that body image, age, gestational week, satisfaction with sexuality in pregnancy and knowledge of sexuality in pregnancy should be taken into consideration in order to accurately determine the sexual attitudes of pregnant women in obstetric clinics.
本研究旨在调查孕期女性对性的态度与其身体意象之间的关系，并确定孕妇性态度的预测因素。该研究在土耳其的515名孕妇中进行。研究数据通过社会人口统计学数据表、孕期性态度量表和孕期身体意象量表收集。随着女性对性的积极态度增加，她们对身体意象的不满减少。研究确定，孕期身体意象积极的女性对性交的焦虑态度较低，对性形成了积极的信念和价值观，并认可孕期性行为。解释15.8%孕妇性态度的因素是身体意象、年龄、孕周、孕期性满意度和孕期性知识。建议在产科诊所准确确定孕妇的性态度时，应考虑身体意象、年龄、孕周、孕期性满意度和孕期性知识。
