Abstract

Objective To revise the Baby Eating Behavior Questionnaire (BEBQ) developed by Llewellyn CH into Chinese version,and to evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods The Chinese version of BEBQ was formed through the translation and back-translation process,and was revised according the experts'opinion in May 2012. Mothers of 300 infants under 12 months were selected from the outpatient of department of pediatrics in two large hospitals in Xi'an,and 50 mothers were randomly selected from the 300 infants' mothers for a re-test analysis after two weeks. Face to face survey was carried out by using the Chinese version of BEBQ. Reliability,validity and discrimination of the questionnaire were evaluated. Results The Chinese version BEBQ consisted of 15 items,including four dimensions like responsiveness to food,enjoyment of food,slowness in eating and satiety responsiveness,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 58.4%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.93,the Guttman split-half reliability was 0.87,and the test-retest reliability was 0.75. Conclusion The Chinese version of BEBQ has good reliability and validity,which can be used as a scale for evaluating the baby's appetite through the eating behavior of exclusive milk-feeding period in China.
