Abstract:

 Abstract This study aimed to evaluate back awareness and investigate the correlation between back awareness and quality of life in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis AIS. The study collected data from 40 children diagnosed with AIS and 40 healthy peers. Back awareness was assessed using the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire FreBAQ, and quality of life was evaluated using the Scoliosis Research Society SRS-22 form. Results showed that back awareness was significantly lower in the AIS group compared to healthy children, and this awareness was associated with quality of life. Significant differences were found in the SRS-22 total score and especially in the mental health and self-image sub-dimensions compared to the healthy group p0.05. A moderate negative correlation was identified between Cobb angle and quality of life p0.05. The findings emphasize that decreased back awareness in children with AIS may negatively affect the quality of life and the importance of personalized treatment approaches in these individuals.

ÖZ Bu çalışma, Adölesan İdiopatik Skolyoz AIS olan çocuklarda bel farkındalığını değerlendirmeyi ve bel farkındalığı ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada, AIS tanısı almış 40 çocuk ile sağlıklı 40 akranından veriler alınarak yürütülmüştür. Sırt farkındalığı Fremantle Bel farkındalığı Anketi ile, yaşam kalitesi ise Scoliosis Research Society SRS-22 formu ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, AIS grubunda sırt farkındalığının sağlıklı çocuklara kıyasla anlamlı derecede düşük olduğunu ve bu farkındalığın yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. SRS-22 toplam skorunda ve özellikle mental sağlık ve öz-imaj alt boyutlarında sağlıklı gruba göre anlamlı farklar saptanmıştır p0,05. Cobb açısı ile yaşam kalitesi arasında da orta düzeyde negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur p0,05. Bulgular, AIS olan çocuklarda bel farkındalığındaki azalmaların yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyebileceğini ve bu bireylerde kişiselleştirilmiş tedavi yaklaşımlarının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
