  Results of Scoliosis Screening in Primary School Students



 

Abstract 


Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of scoliosis in 10- to 14-year-old children attending three primary schools, to raise awareness of scoliosis, and to provide a data source for policy makers. Material and Methods: Volunteer students whose parents gave permission for screening were recruited to this cross-sectional study (n: 963). For data collection, the Scoliosis Screening Form was used. In addition, Adam’s Forward Bending Test was administered and vertebra palpation was performed. The SPSS 22.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used for the data analysis. Findings: Of the students suspected to have scoliosis (n: 73), 8.2% were diagnosed with scoliosis by the physician. The prevalence of scoliosis was 0.099 in girls and 0.052 in boys. Of the students, 55.5% stated that they had to lean on the desk while writing at school, 58.1% said they were uncomfortable due to the heavy weight of the school bag. Also 13.6% stated that they had back pain in bed, 25.8% said they felt uncomfortable in the sitting position. Ratio of students exercising regularly was 58.4%. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that scoliosis could be diagnosed early through screening. It is recommended that to prevent spinal deformities, school health programs should include training programs organized by nurses on the importance of achieving the correct upright posture, weight bearing methods and exercise, and that nurses should repeat these training programs in cooperation with school administration and school counselors
