Abstract
Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) significantly affects the quality of life of patients, not only due to visible spinal deformities but also through pain, limited mobility, and psychological issues such as low self-esteem and social isolation. (Bettany-Saltikov et al., 2018; Danielsson et al., 2001; Freidel et al., 2002; Negrini et al., 2018; Payne et al., 1997) Our project focuses on validating the Czech version of the SRS-22r questionnaire, which provides a comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological aspects of life in AIS patients. The goal is to offer a tool for better monitoring of these patients in the Czech Republic and improve treatment efficiency.
Methodology The adaptation of the questionnaire will follow Beaton’s methodology, involving translation, back-translation, and expert evaluation. (Beaton et al., 2000) A pilot study will include at least 20 respondents, after which the questionnaire will be distributed online to achieve 140 respondents with AIS aged 10 years and older. The study will assess the psychometric properties of the questionnaire, including internal consistency, reliability, and convergent validity with the SF-36 questionnaire.
Results The outcome will be the validated Czech version of the SRS-22r, providing data on internal consistency and reliability. Analysis will reveal correlations between the dimensions of the SRS-22r and SF-36 questionnaires, as well as the impact of gender, age, and type of treatment on the evaluation of individual dimensions. Additionally, the correlation with the severity of the scoliosis curve will be examined.
Conclusions The validated SRS-22r questionnaire will be a valuable tool for clinical practice and scientific research, enabling more accurate assessment of the quality of life in AIS patients and supporting the standardization of assessments in an international context.
