Brief Summary:
Idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity that occurs in adolescent girls and boys and is more progressive in girls The cosmetic changes caused by the scoliotic spine cause negativity in perception of appearance and psychosocial problems in pubertal individuals especially in girls It is thought that brace used in conservative treatment increase this negativity in body image and affect compliance with treatment In this study it was aimed to determine whether there is an effect on the individuals compliance with the programmed treatment by investigating the perception of body appearance self-esteem and quality of life of adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis In this context forty adolescent girls diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis and followed in the Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Unit were included in the study In the study Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale was used to evaluate perception of appearance Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory to evaluate self-esteem and SRS-22 Scoliosis Patient Questionnaire to evaluate quality of life Scoliosis Treatment Compliance Scale which was developed by us and whose validity and reliability study was planned was used to evaluate compliance with the treatment program
Detailed Description:
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine in which a lateral deviation of more than 10ยบ is observed in the coronal plane Causes deterioration in sagittal frontal and transverse planes In scoliosis with lateral flexion rotation and shortness components there is a complex curvature of the spine
The risk of progression the initial degree of curvature the age and maturation level of the patient are important for the treatment plan of a patient with AIS In addition cosmetic appearance and social factors play a role in the treatment protocol Methods used in the treatment of scoliosis by considering the progression factor observation physiotherapy and specific rehabilitation brace and surgical treatment
There are studies showing that the results are positively affected if the programmed and recommended conservative treatment methods are complied with and the importance of compliance to treatment is emphasized
In order for the spinal tissues to respond to the forces created by the trunk orthoses braces used in the conservative treatment of AIS a sufficient time and regular use of the brace is required Studies have shown that there is non-compliance in the treatment process and that patients do not comply with the treatment especially by not using their braces for a sufficient time during the day
Exercise therapy has been used for years during follow-up and as a form of conservative therapy Posture exercises stabilization exercises to provide spinal control exercises to increase spinal flexibility stretching exercises exercises to correct muscle strength imbalance and to regulate breathing are applied It has been reported that compliance with exercise therapy positively affects the treatment results
It is very important to keep the treatment programs at home to raise the awareness of the person to control the spine in daily life to integrate the applied exercises into daily life activities and to support the scoliosis with sports activities It is reported that correctly planned daily life activities and positions and sports activities that do not involve the risk of injury affect the treatment results positively
The long treatment period in scoliosis especially the use of braces negatively affects daily life and increases the stress level In this process individuals with AIS may experience social isolation depression low participation in activities and non-compliance It is mentioned that in order to achieve real success in treatment the patient should come to terms with the situation he is in cognitively and psychosocial problems should be taken into account
With the deviations in the frontal sagittal and transverse planes of the scoliotic spine the cosmetic effect becomes evident and negatively affects body image perception and psychological health General physical changes in adolescence are accompanied by a reassessment of the young individuals self-concept Studies have shown that compliance to treatment in individuals with AIS is associated with body image perceptions and self-esteem
In addition scoliosis is an important risk factor for poor quality of life in children and adolescents It has been reported that the quality of life in AIS is significantly affected by the negative perception of the individual on body image and low quality of life is associated with low self-esteem especially in adolescent individuals who use braces
When the literature is examined studies examining the psychosocial effects of individuals with AIS and their relationships with quality of life and compliance to treatment are very limited When the literature is examined studies examining the psychosocial effects of individuals with AIS and their relationships with quality of life and compliance to treatment are very limited When the measurement methods used in studies questioning adherence to treatment in the literature are examined it is seen that there are limitations in the evaluation of corset and exercise therapy as well as other treatment components such as daily life and sports activities Since subjective and objective measurement methods are insufficient to question the treatment as a whole a scale designed within the scope of this study was also presented to the literature The aim of the investigators is to solve these limitations in the literature and to determine the effect of perception of deformity self-esteem and quality of life on the adherence to treatment of the adolescent individual
