چکیده:
Body image, like any other psychological aspect, is a part of human personality that evolves over time and is disturbed and weakened in conditions such as visible deformity. The aim of this study was to compare the body image of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy individuals. This research is descriptive-comparative. For this purpose, 54 individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with an average age of 18.1 years completed the Mendelson Body Image Questionnaire. Then, a control group was compared with the aforementioned group. The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using Cronbach's alpha of 0.82. Diagnosis and severity of scoliosis were performed by radiography. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the body image of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy individuals (P=0.01) and a significant difference was observed between the level of satisfaction with appearance and satisfaction with others' attitudes in individuals with scoliosis and healthy individuals (P=0.03 and P=0.00). However, no significant difference was observed between satisfaction with weight in individuals with scoliosis and healthy individuals (P=0.17). Curvature of the trunk and secondary changes in the shoulder and scapular region in individuals with scoliosis may cause weakness in body image in these individuals and lead to some psychological complications.

An example of an individual with structural scoliosis Few studies have been conducted in the field of the relationship between physical abnormalities and psychological issues.
The results showed that individuals with scoliosis had a better body image and higher self-esteem than the control group.
The findings showed that in the measured samples in this study, the body image of individuals with scoliosis was significantly lower (weaker) than that of healthy individuals (P = 0.
In Wade's (2006) study, the body image of individuals with scoliosis was reported to be better than the control group, which is inconsistent with the results of the present study (25).
In examining the subscales of body image, a significant difference was also observed between the two groups in terms of individual satisfaction with appearance (P = 0.
Physical changes in individuals with scoliosis cause changes in their mental image of their bodies, leading them to perceive themselves as different (abnormal) from their peers.
