Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of developing and psychometric evaluation of prenatal body image questionnaire in Farsi language. For preparation of the prenatal body image questionnaire, psychometric steps were performed on a questionnaire based on the results of a qualitative study. Construct validity was evaluated in a cross-sectional study of 300 Iranian pregnant women undergoing prenatal care in health centers in Isfahan, Iran. The results of the psychometric evaluation showed that the 30-item prenatal body image questionnaire in seven dimensions has a good validity and reliability, which is applicable to research on body image in pregnancy. © The Author(s) 2019.
