Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of Prenatal Eating Behaviors Screening Tool.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimPregnancy is a very vulnerable period for eating disorders. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the "Prenatal Eating Behaviors Screening" (PEBS) tool for the Turkish population.
methodsThe sample of this methodological study consisted of 190 pregnant women. Language, content, construct, and reliability analysis were conducted to determine the tool's Turkish psychometric characteristics. The study was conducted at a state hospital in a province located in eastern Türkiye between October 2022 and April 2023. Descriptive Information Form and the Prenatal Eating Behaviours Screening Tool were used to collect the data.
resultsThe scale consisted of 11 items with 1 factor and explained 57.4% of the total variance. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value was determined to be 0.897, while the Bartlett's test (χ2 = 1377,700 p < .001) was found to be statistically highly significant. The Cronbach's alpha reliability of the scale was found to be 0.92. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) fit indıces were found to be χ2/df: 1.1990, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA): 0.076, Goodness-of-Fit Index (GFI): 0.92, Adjusted Goodness-of- Fit Index (AGFI): 0.86, Comparative Fit Index (CFI): 0.97, Normed Fit Index (NFI): 0.95. The higher the scores received from the tool, the more likely they are to suffer from an existing eating disorder.
conclusionThe Turkish version of the PEBS tool was determined to be a measuring instrument with high reliability. It is recommended that the Turkish version of the PEBS tool be used in studies and clinics to screen for eating disorders during pregnancy. Cite this article as: Işık, M., & Özkan Şat, S. (2025).
