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 individual's 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.
