ABSTRACT

Background

Body experience is an important facet of psychosocial functioning and health. However, to date no test exists to measure body experience in adults with mild intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF). We therefore adapted the Body Experience Questionnaire (BEQ) to this group, resulting in the BEQ-mb, and evaluated its usability, comprehensibility, and reliability.

Method

The BEQ-mb was developed in five stages: concept development, focus group, verbal reports, pilot testing, and evaluation.

Results

The BEQ-mb is applicable in, and comprehensible by, adults with MID-BIF. Internal consistency is good for the total scale and the body awareness and body satisfaction subscales, but low for the body attitude subscale. Test–retest reliability is excellent for the total scale and the subscales.

Conclusion

The BEQ-mb unlocks new opportunities for clinical examination and research on body experience. Future research is needed to investigate its structural validity.

轻度智力障碍或边缘智力功能成人身体体验问卷 (BEQ-mb)：开发和初步评估

摘要

背景

身体体验是心理社会功能和健康的一个重要方面。然而，迄今为止，还没有测试可以测量具有轻度智力障碍和临界智力功能 (MID-BIF) 的成年人的身体体验。因此，我们将身体体验问卷 (BEQ) 改编为该组，产生了 BEQ-mb，并评估了它的可用性、可理解性和可靠性。

方法

BEQ-mb 的开发分为五个阶段：概念开发、焦点小组、口头报告、试点测试和评估。

结果

BEQ-mb 适用于患有 MID-BIF 的成年人，并且可由他们理解。内部一致性对总量表和身体意识和身体满意度分量表有好处，但对身体态度分量表来说很低。重测信度对于总量表和子量表都非常好。

结论

BEQ-mb 为临床检查和身体体验研究开启了新的机遇。未来的研究需要调查其结构有效性。
