Pages

  39-47

Abstract

 Background: Pregnancy-related changes in Women’ s body shape and size predisposes to negative Body image. However, the nexus between pregnancy-related Body image and Health-Related Quality of life (HRQoL) is still controvertible. This study assessed the relationship between Body image and HRQoL among Nigerian nulligravid, pregnant, and postpartum Women. Methods: 385 Women volunteered for this cross-sectional study between November 2016 and January 2017 from two selected clinics in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Body image was assessed using the Body Attitude Questionnaire (BAQ) and Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), respectively. HRQoL was assessed using the SF-12 questionnaire. Data was summarized using descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics including Chi-square test was used to test the associations between Body image and HRQoL in pregnant and postpartum Women. Alpha level was set at P<0. 05. Results: Body attitude satisfaction and pregnancy-related Women status was significantly associated with respect to abdomen (P=0. 021) and genitalia (P=0. 005). Postpartum Women were most satisfied with their abdomen (95. 2%). There was significant correlation between BAQ score and Health perception (P=0. 001), emotional functioning (P=0. 001), and mental Health (P=0. 040) scales of the SF-12. There was significant correlation between BSQ score and bodily pain (P=0. 020), Health perception (P=0. 001), and emotional functioning (P=0. 003) scales of the SF-12. Conclusions: Postpartum Women had better body attitude and body shape perception than their pregnant and non-pregnant counterparts. Body attitude is related to HRQoL in non-pregnant, pregnant and postpartum Women. Body shape perception is only correlated with bodily pain, Health perception and emotional functioning scales of the HRQoL.
