[Perceived self-image in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: an integrative review of the literature].

OBJECTIVE
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.
