Subjective Well-Being in Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients

Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to examine the relationships between positive affect(PA), negative affect (NA), life satisfaction (LS) and scoliosis research society variables; image, pain, function and mental health. To determine whether PA, NA and LS predicted by image, pain, function and mental health a hierarchical regression analysis was specified. In the current study female scoliosis patients (N=83) completed three measures of positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), Life satisfaction Scale and Scoliosis Research Society-22. Result showed that four factors accounted for subjective well-being variables (PA, NA, LS). The findings highlight the possibility that a consideration of subjective well-being for body image concerns.
