Validity and Reliability Testing of the Turkish Version of the Self-Acceptance Scale for Pregnant Women

Objective: This study was conducted to adapt the Self-Acceptance Scale for Pregnant Women (SAS-PW), which was developed in Brazil, to Turkish and test the psychometric properties of its Turkish version. Method: This methodological study was carried out with 576 pregnant women who presented to the pregnancy outpatient clinics of a Research and Training Hospital in northern Turkey between December 2021 and April 2022. The validity of the Turkish version of SAS-PW was tested by conducting linguistic, content, and construct validity analyses, while its reliability was tested by conducting internal consistency and test-retest analyses. Results: According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, the factor load values of the items and the rates of the total variance in scale scores explained by the factors were sufficient. The confirmatory factor analysis results demonstrated that the goodness-of-fit indices of the scale were within suitable ranges. The 2-factor and 10-item construct of the original SAS-PW was confirmed based on the factor analyses. The item-total score correlations of the scale were found sufficient, and the total Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of SAS-PW was determined to be 0.93. The test-retest analysis of the scale scores revealed a strong correlation between the scores of the two implementations. Conclusions: The Turkish version of SAS-PW is a valid and reliable measurement instrument to evaluate the self-acceptance levels of pregnant women in Turkish society.

Pengaruh Expressive Arts Therapy terhadap Self-Acceptance Narapidana Kasus Narkoba

Drug abuse is a serious problem in many countries, including Indonesia. Drug convicts have a high risk of experiencing mental health problems and difficulties in accepting themselves, which can affect the rehabilitation process. Expressive arts therapy has been used as an additional therapy to improve individual mental well-being and can be an alternative choice to increase self-acceptance. This study aims to evaluate the impact of expressive arts therapy on the level of self-acceptance of prisoners who experience drug cases. Expressive arts therapy includes aspects of self-expression that can trigger positive emotions, reduce stress, and indirectly increase self-acceptance. This therapy is carried out in groups to strengthen social support, which is a key factor in increasing self-acceptance according to Ryff (2005). This study used a pretest posttest control group design with the participation of 50 drug convicts (25 participants as an experimental group and 25 participants as a control group). This study also used an adapted self-acceptance scale as a measurement instrument. Data analysis was performed using the t test using SPSS software version 22.0. The results show that there is an effect of expressive arts therapy on self-acceptance as indicated by the t test result of 0.034. Furthermore, based on the effectiveness test using the Cohen formula, it is known that expressive arts therapy has a role in the medium or medium category to increase self-acceptance in drug case convicts with an effect size score of 0.6. As a recommendation expressive arts therapy can be an effective alternative therapy to help drug convicts in their recovery process.

P073 Let′s talk about sex: an unicentric cross-sectional study on sexual dysfunction, sexual satisfaction and body schema disorders in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract Background Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) suffer from a variety of physical and psychological symptoms. Especially sexual health is an often underestimated but leading concern among patients. Despite its major impact, there has been little systematic research on this topic in the past. The aim of this study was to investigate sexual dysfunction, sexual satisfaction and body schema disorders in patients with IBD compared to a healthy control group. Methods A cross-sectional unicentric study was performed. 123 patients with IBD and 71 population controls were recruited for 12 months. Inclusion criteria for the patient group included a diagnosed IBD (Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis), age between 18 - 65 years and sufficient language skills to complete the questionnaires. For the control group inclusion criteria were similar but without a diagnosed IBD. Data was collected using standardised questionnaries (IBDQ, IBD-F, pMS, HBI, IIEF, BISF-W, FKKS, PHQ15, PHQ9, HADS-D). Sexual dysfunction, sexual satisfaction and body schema disorders were mainly assessed by the „Frankfurter Körperkonzeptskalen“ (FKKS) and „The Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women“ (BISF-W). Results Significant differences (p < 0.05) could be found within the individual questionnaire scales. Regarding the FKKS, the control group scored higher in three of the nine scales: Health and physical condition scale (SGKB), Sexuality scale (SSEX) and Body self-acceptance scale (SSAK). A similar result was also shown in the BISF-W: population controls had higher scores in two of the seven dimension scores: "Arousal" (D2) and "Pleasure/Orgasm" (D5). Overall, when comparing the total scores of FKKS and BISF-W between patients and population controls no remarkable distinctions were identified. Conclusion Sexual health seems to be impaired in patients with IBD. Patients suffer from reduced sexual arousal, orgasmic sensation and physical well-being. In addition, they are also more inhibited in sexual contact with their partners and devalue their own body in terms of aesthetics and biological functionality. Overall, these results can help to understand the disease′s complexity considering not only clinical but also psychological factors regarding sexual well-being and point to new therapeutical directions.
