Purpose: To investigate the validity and reliability of the Body Image Scale in Turkish ostomy patients.
Methods: This study has a methodological and cross-sectional design. A hundred patients with ostomy lasting for at least 2 months were recruited from an ostomy and wound care unit.
Findings: Confirmatory factor analyses showed that goodness-of-fit indexes were acceptable. Exploratory factor analyses showed that factor loadings of the scale items varied between 0.74 and 0.91, and a single factor was determined. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.94. Item-to-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.75 to 0.91.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Body Image Scale is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating body image in Turkish ostomy patients.
