|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of adolescent’s scoliosis on the stress level and study-attitude, to inform the public that there exist an important correlation between adolescent’s scoliosis and stress, as well as, study-attitude, using a questionnaire.
Methods: For this study, questionnaires were distributed to elementary school in G city from May 10 through May 31, 2011. This study measured a primary scoliosis-test by a scoliometer with 300 elementary school students and a secondary test by Cobb’s angle using an X-ray. The subjects were divided into 2 groups (normal group (n=20), scoliosis group (n=20)). The collected data were analyzed by a t-test and Pearson analysis.
Results: As a result of this study, the Cobb’s angle showed significant difference between the scoliosis group and the normal group (p<0.001). Also, it tended to have a greater stress level in the scoliosis group than the relationship between scoliosis and the stress or study-attitude compared to the normal group (p<0.05). The correlation of stress according to Cobb’s angle showed a positive relationship (r=0.36), and the correlation of study-attitude to Cobb’s angle showed a negative relationship (r=-0.04).
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study showed that scoliosis affects stress and study-attitude. We hope that this result would help diagnose adolescent’s scoliosis in anearly stage and prevent any phychologic and social problems relating to it.
