“…The severity of scoliosis is determined from the Cobb angle, visualised in an anterior-posterior x-ray, and this is probably the most decisive factor when determining the treatment strategy. However, appearance can also influence the decision to opt for surgical treatment (1,(5)(6) : the majority of patients are concerned about their body before, during and after treatment, although to a varying extent depending on the individual, and this anxiety may affect their general well-being (7) .…”

RESUmEnObjetivo: Conocer las experiencias vividas por adolescentes diagnosticados con escoliosis idiopática. Método: Revisión integrativa de la literatura, estableciendo los límites de búsqueda en el año de publicación de los documentos. Resultados: El síntoma clínico predominante para ambos sexos es el efecto negativo de la deformidad en la percepción de la propia imagen; los estudios cuantitativos presentan una clasificación numérica para evaluar la percepción de la imagen corporal sin recoger los aspectos emocionales; la autoimagen es mejor en pacientes tratados quirúrgi-camente y peor en pacientes tratados con corsé y la disminución de la magnitud de la curva proporciona una mejor calidad de vida. Conclusión: La deformidad de columna vertebral afecta psicológicamente a los adolescentes. AbStRActObjective: To learn about the experiences of adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. Method: Integrative review of the literature published within a specified time frame. Results: For both sexes, the predominant clinical symptom of this condition appears to be the negative effect that the deformity exerts on perceived self-image. Quantitative studies used numerical scores to assess perceptions of body image but did not analyse emotional aspects. Patients treated surgically were found to have a better self-image than patients treated with a brace. Quality of life was improved by a reduction in the magnitude of the curve. Conclusion: Spinal deformity exerts a psychological effect on adolescent girls.

“…The largest of the previous observational studies in adults, who in adolescence were braced or treated surgically or observed, included 1476 patients and 1755 controls [12], while other major studies included 145 surgically treated, 127 braced, and 100 control subjects [4] and 40 observed and 37 braced patients [13]. Response rates in those, and other studies, described by Goldberg et al [12], ranged from 48% to 89%.…”

“…Surgery or brace treatment may also lead to psychological side effects [3, 4, 8, 9]. Long-term outcome reports [10], including the Iowa [11], Montreal [12], and Göteborg [4, 13] series, suggested that deformity causes psychopathological effects or demonstrated positive coping mechanisms [3, 12]. Furthermore, the available papers focus on the assessment of health-related quality of life and utilize generic (typically the SF-36 or WHOQOLBREF questionnaires) or condition-specific (e.g., the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22 questionnaire) measures with their physical, social, and emotional roles, mental functioning, bodily pain, and body image components, incorporated to produce a measure of a person's perceived general health status [5, 7].…”

Objective. To examine general mental health in adult males and females, who in adolescence participated in a scoliosis-specific therapeutic exercise program or were under observation due to diagnosis of scoliosis. Design. Registry-based, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. Methods. Sixty-eight subjects (43 women) aged 30.10 (25–39) years, with mild or moderate scoliosis (11–36° Cobb angle), and 76 (38 women) nonscoliotic subjects, aged 30.11 (24–38) years, participated. The time period since the end of the exercise or observation regimes was 16.5 (12-26) years. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) scores were analyzed with the χ 2 and U tests. Multiple regression analyses for confounders were also performed. Results. Intergroup differences of demographic characteristics were nonsignificant. Scoliosis, gender, participation in the exercise program, employment, and marital status were associated with BDI scores. The presence of scoliosis and participation in the exercise program manifested association with the symptoms. Higher GHQ-28 “somatic symptoms” subscale scores interacted with the education level. Conclusions. Our findings correspond to the reports of a negative impact of the diagnosis of scoliosis and treatment on mental health. The decision to introduce a therapeutic program in children with mild deformities should be made with judgment of potential benefits, risks, and harm.

Body Appearance and Quality of Life in Adult Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Treated With a Brace or Under Observation Alone During Adolescence

Abstract: Patients who experienced less body asymmetry were more satisfied with treatment and had a better quality of life. In spite of similar curve sizes and trunk rotation in both groups, the nonbraced patients felt that their body appearance was less distorted than that of the braced patients.
