What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Body Appreciation Scale
Body appreciation was assessed using the Body Appreciation Scale. The scale consists of 9 items and total scores range from 9 to 45. Higher scores indicate greater body appreciation.
Measured: Baseline and 1 week after baseline
Secondary outcomes (1)
Body Exposure During Sexual Activity
Body exposure during sexual activity was assessed using the Body Exposure During Sexual Activities Questionnaire (BESAQ). The scale consists of 28 items. The total score is divided by the number of items, resulting in a mean score ranging from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate greater body-image-related self-consciousness and avoidance during sexual activity.
Measured: Baseline and 1 week after baseline
