Scoliosis Caregiver Affect and Emotional Questionnaire Turkish Version

The Scoliosis Caregiver Response and Emotional Scale (SCaRES) is a specific scale developed to measure the emotional and behavioral responses of parents or primary caregivers of children or adolescents with scoliosis to the treatment process. The scale assesses aspects such as stress, anxiety, social limitations, and psychosocial burden experienced during the caregiving process. The SCaRES scale consists of 18 items. Each item is scored on a Likert-type scale of 1- Never, 2- Rarely, 3- Often, and 4- Always. The total scale score indicates the caregiver's level of impact on the treatment process. A higher score indicates a greater level of emotional and behavioral impact on the caregiver.
