Abstract

Purpose

This cross-sectional study presents an initial psychometric evaluation of a two-dimensional (perceptual and evaluative) conceptualization and measure of disrupted body integrity (DBI)—illness-related disruption of the sense of the body as an integrated, smoothly functioning whole.

Methods

Male and female head and neck cancer (HNC) outpatients (N = 98) completed a questionnaire package prior to outpatient visits.

Main outcome measures

The Disrupted Body Integrity Scale (DBIS) was developed to measure the perceptual and evaluative facets of DBI. Self-report measures of disfigurement, stigma, depressive symptoms, and negative affect were also completed.

Results

Almost all DBIS subscales demonstrated good internal consistency. Results largely supported the DBIS’s construct validity. The majority of subscales correlated within the predicted range of r’s = .40–.70. Almost all DBIS constructs were positively linked with either depressive symptoms or disfigurement. None correlated with positive affect, and only two subscales, abnormal sensations (perceptual) and physical vulnerability (evaluative), correlated with negative affect. DBIS constructs showed little relation with stigma, once disfigurement effects were controlled for.

Conclusions

Findings offer preliminary evidence for the DBIS and the relevance of DBI in HNC. Further evaluation of DBI in disease adaptation and the DBIS’s factor structure is warranted.
