BACKGROUND: Melasma is one of the most common physiological hyperpigmentation disorders observed during pregnancy, and its clinical characteristics and risk factors have been extensively investigated. However, evidence regarding the relationship between pregnancy-related melasma and body perception remains limited.
OBJECTIVE: This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of melasma among pregnant women and to examine its association with body perception.
METHODS: This study included 450 pregnant women in the central city center of the Central Anatolia Region of Türkiye who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Melasma and Skin Type Characteristics Assessment Form, and the Body Perception Scale (BPS) and analyzed using descriptive statistics, comparative analyses, and logistic regression.
RESULTS: Melasma was identified in 37.8% of the participants, and the centrofacial pattern was the most common presentation (56.5%). A statistically significant association was found between pregnancy-related melasma and total BPS scores (p < 0.05). Pregnant women without melasma had significantly higher mean BPS scores than those with melasma (150.83 ± 17.18 vs. 146.15 ± 15.16; p = 0.004). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that low educational and income levels, a personal or family history of melasma, and Fitzpatrick skin type IV were significant predictors of pregnancy-related melasma (p < 0.05), accounting for 61% of the variance.
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate the need for a holistic assessment of physiological skin changes and body perception during pregnancy, as well as the integration of counseling, education, and nursing care interventions targeting risk factors into routine prenatal care.
