- Abstract
Aim: This study aims to determine the body image perceptions of pregnant women according to trimesters of pregnancy. Methods: A total of 231 pregnant women aged 18 years or over who were not involved in any pregnancy risk, who voluntarily participated in the study, and who applied to the obstetric polyclinic of a university hospital between April 1 and June 30, 2013 formed the sample of this descriptive study. A data collection form designed by the researchers and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Percentage distribution, Cronbach's alpha analysis, t-tests, and one-way variance analysis were used to evaluate the research results. Results: Of the women, the mean age was 31.83±5.20, 42% were employed, 89.6% became pregnant willingly, 63.2% had been receiving support from the family or others when faced with any problems during pregnancy, and 88.7% reported that their relationships with their husbands were "good." There was a significant difference in the mean scores between employed and unemployed women on the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (p=0.001). The difference between the women's multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire mean scores according to their trimesters was found to be statistically meaningful (p=0.004). Conclusion: Although the vast majority of the participants in the study became pregnant willingly and received a high level of support during their pregnancy from their families and others, the multidimensional body image perceptions of the pregnant women were found to be more negative while the trimesters were advancing.
