The Spanish Body Image State Scale: Factor Structure, Reliability and Validity in a Colombian Population.

ABSTRACT: Objective:Body image is a construct highly dependent on culture and ethnicity. Furthermore, recent studies reveal that body image is not only a trait, but also a momentary state subject to change in diverse situational contexts. However, cultural influences on momentary body image have not been sufficiently investigated. To assess the influence of Latin American culture on momentary body image and to enable its comparison to Western countries, the Spanish translation of an existing state body image scale such as the Body Image States Scale (BISS) is needed. In addition, the factor structure, reliability and general validity of the Spanish BISS (S-BISS) should be evaluated prior to its application in diverse situational contexts. Method:We conducted a cross-sectional study evaluating 1137 individuals between the ages of 18 and 28 years from Barranquilla, Colombia, South America. The original BISS, which assesses body satisfaction, was translated from English to Spanish. Factorial structure, scale score reliability and convergent/divergent validity were assessed. Results:Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that a one-factor model with correlated items best described the factorial structure present in the BISS questionnaire. The coefficient of scale score reliability was ? = 0.92 (McDonalds ? = 0.93), with similar results for men and women. Significant differences between males and females were found with lesser body satisfaction in females (W = 163260, p = 0.016). Lower S-BISS scores indicating less body satisfaction were associated with higher BMI (r = -0.287, p < 0.001) and obtained in participants who were currently on a diet (t 1135 = -3.98, p < 0.001). The S-BISS was negatively correlated with a trait body image measurement assessing body dissatisfaction (Body Shape Questionnaire, r = -0.577, p < 0.001) and a psychopathology questionnaire (Brief Symptom Inventory 53, r = -0.331, p < 0.001). Conclusion:The S-BISS is a valid and reliable instrument to assess body image in the Colombian population, and exhibits similar psychometric properties to those of the original version. Future studies should examine whether the S-BISS captures change in state body image when applied in diverse situational contexts.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a need for pragmatic and reliable measures of sound factors that affect evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption and implementation in different languages and cultural environments. The Implementation Leadership Scale (ILS) is a brief and efficient measurement tool of strategic leadership for EBP implementation. The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the ILS.MethodsThe process of translation of the original ILS into Spanish consisted of forward translation, panel meeting, and back-translation. Scale face and content validity compared to that of the original version were assessed and ensured before agreement on the final version. Psychometric properties were examined in 144 healthcare professionals (family physicians, pediatricians, practice and pediatric nurses) involved in implementation or improvement research projects. ILS factor structure was tested by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed by internal consistency analysis. The Pearson correlation between the ILS and the Organizational Support dimension of the Organizational Readiness for Knowledge Translation (OR4KT) questionnaire in the subsample of pediatricians and pediatric nurses (n = 52) was estimated for convergent validity analysis.ResultsThe CFA results indicated that the original four theorized first-order factors with a second-order Implementation Leadership factor fit the data well (χ2 = 107.70; df = 45; p < 0.001). All standardized first- and second-order factor loadings were statistically significant. Fit indexes showed acceptable figures (GFI = 0.90; CFI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.10; SRMR = 0.053). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the four dimensions of ILS ranged from 0.90 to 0.97, while the reliability estimated for the total scale was 0.95. Results of convergent validity revealed high correlation (r = 0.56) between the ILS and the OR4KT's Organizational Support dimension.ConclusionThe CFA results demonstrated that the tested first- and second-order factor structure of the 12-item Spanish version of the ILS is consistent with the factor structure of the original tool. The availability of the ILS will allow Spanish-speaking researchers to assess and advance understanding of the implementation leadership construct as a predictor of organizational implementation context.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to provide a German translation of the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS) - a measure tailored to pregnancy-specific aspects of body image while being consistent to the multifaceted theoretical framework of body image - and to test its psychometric properties and validity.MethodsThe English-language original version of the BIPS was translated into German language using a forward-backward translation rationale. Face validity of the items was tested in cognitive interviews (n = 5). An online survey was conducted among 291 pregnant women. After conducting standard item analyses, factorial validity was tested using principal-axis factor analysis (PAF). Convergent and incremental validity with measures of body dissatisfaction (FFB), depression (EPDS), anxiety (GAD-7), self-esteem (RSE), and eating disorder psychopathology (EDE-Q) was tested by bivariate correlations and multiple linear hierarchical regression analyses.ResultsThe PFA revealed a 32 item and 6-factor solution resembling the dimensions preoccupation with appearance, dissatisfaction with strength-related aspects, dissatisfaction with body parts, dissatisfaction with complexion, prioritization of appearance over function, and concerns about sexual attractiveness. Internal consistency on a subscale level was good to excellent (.79 ≤ Cronbach's α ≤ .91). Consistent with theoretical assumptions, we found significant positive correlations of BIPS-G subscales with depression, anxiety and eating disorder psychopathology and negative correlations of BIPS-G subscales with self-esteem. BIPS-G subscales substantially improved the prediction of depression, anxiety, self-esteem and eating disorder psychopathology over demographic factors and body dissatisfaction (.03 ≤ ΔR2 ≤ .15, all p-values < 0.05).ConclusionsThe German version of the BIPS appeared to be a reliable and valid measure which has the capacity to enhance future research on body image during pregnancy in German-speaking populations.
