About this study
Official title: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE EKSTEROCEPTIVE BODY AWARENESS QUESTIONNAIRE
Our study was planned to establish the validity and reliability of the EBA-Q Questionnaire, developed to determine external body awareness, in Turkish and to contribute it to the literature for use in research.
Read the detailed description
Examining body awareness in all its aspects is a fundamental concept for a deeper understanding of mind-body interactions, and body awareness assessments and treatments have been frequently used in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in recent years. The current body awareness self-report measures are only items related to internal perception or body perception questionnaires that measure internal perception and proprioception, but the only questionnaire we encountered in the literature that assesses exteroceptive awareness is the exteroceptive body awareness questionnaire (EBA-Q) developed in 2023. EBA-Q is an assessment tool used to measure a person's ability to perceive their own body based on exteroceptive signals and to accurately evaluate changes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
EBA-Q
The EBA-Q is an assessment tool used to measure a person's ability to perceive their own body based on exteroceptive signals and accurately evaluate changes. The 18-item questionnaire consists of four subscales: visual-tactile body awareness (7 items measuring the sensitivity to assessing whether the body can pass through narrow passages or under low ceilings, and the sensitivity to detecting other people's touch, insects, sweat, and puddles); spatial coordination (4 items measuring the level of spatial awareness when interacting with objects in space, such as bumping into people and furniture); awareness of body changes (4 items asking about weight changes, the appearance of scars and moles, and tanning); and awareness of clothing fit (3 items measuring the relationship between clothing, belts, shoes, and body size). It is evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale (1=not at all appropriate, 5=very appropriate).High scores indicate high awareness.
Measured: DAY 1
SAS
The Turkish validity and reliability study of the two subscales (SSI, SSI) that we will use in our study, which consist of 3 subcategories (private self-awareness=SSA, social self-awareness=SSA, and social anxiety) and a total of 22 questions, was conducted by Neslihan Rugancı in 1995 (13). SSI, consisting of 9 items, is an internal self-awareness structure and includes items related to individuals having a positive awareness of their emotional states that is free from subjectivity, and items related to self-reflection, items related to the individual's thinking, imagining, and evaluating themselves regarding their past, experiences, value judgments, and behaviors. SSI, consisting of 7 items, includes items related to the individual's tendencies regarding their behavior patterns and their interest in a certain image they want to present to society. The scale items are evaluated with a 4-point Likert scale (1=Disagree, 4=Strongly Agree). High scores obtained high awareness
Measured: DAY 1
Secondary outcomes (1)
MAIA-2
The questionnaire developed in 2018, used to measure eight dimensions of internal body awareness, consists of a total of 37 items. It is evaluated using a six-level Likert scale from 0 (never) to 5 (always) (6). It consists of the following sub-parameters: Awareness (4 items), Distraction-Free (6 items), Non-Worry (5 items, α=0.67), Attention Regulation (7 items), Emotional Awareness (5 items), Self-Regulation (4 items), Body Listening (3 items), and Trust (3 items). The Cronbach's alpha value of the sub-parameters ranges from 0.64 to 0.83. The Turkish validity and reliability were established by Özpınar. For the Turkish translation of EBAQ, the Awareness and Body Listening, Attention Regulation, and Non-Worry subscales (total 18 items) used in the original questionnaire will be utilized. High scores indicate high awareness.
Measured: DAY 1
