BACKGROUND: Spinal fusion is a common orthopedic surgery in @entity1 and adolescents and is associated with high @entity158 levels postoperatively. If the @entity158 is not well managed, negative outcomes may ensue. To our knowledge, there is no measure in English that assesses @entity1 's satisfaction with postoperative @entity158 following idiopathic @entity1635 surgery. The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of the satisfaction subscale of the English version of the Satisfaction of Adolescents with @entity282 management - idiopathic @entity1635 ( @entity28215 ) scale. METHODS: Eighty-two @entity1 aged 10-18 years, who had undergone spinal fusion surgery, fully completed the @entity28215 scale at 10-14 days postdischarge. Construct validity was assessed through a principal component analysis using varimax rotation. RESULTS: Principal component analysis indicated a three-factor structure of the 13-item satisfaction subscale of the @entity28215 scale. Factors referred to satisfaction regarding current medication received (Factor 1), actions taken by nurses and doctors to manage @entity158 ( @entity8876 ) and information received after surgery (Factor 3). Cronbach's alpha was 0.91, showing very good internal consistency. Data on satisfaction and clinical outcomes were also reported. CONCLUSION: The @entity28215 is a valid and reliable measure of satisfaction with postoperative @entity158 that can be used in both research and clinical settings to improve @entity158 practices. Although it was developed and validated with adolescents who had undergone spinal fusion surgery, it can be used, with further validation, to assess adolescents' satisfaction with @entity158 in other postoperative contexts.
