Cross-cultural adaption, translation and reliability tests of the Danish version of the Pregnancy Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale

摘要

Objective: Self-efficacy has been shown to influence initiating and maintaining physical activity. Pregnancy often leads to a decline in physical activity and exercise self-efficacy assessments could be a tool to help women stay active during pregnancy. The Pregnancy Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (P-ESES) is an English questionnaire assessing the self-efficacy in pregnant women to perform physical activity. The aim of this study was to translate the P-ESES questionnaire into a valid and reliable Danish version, P-ESES-DK.
