Study population: 30 individuals between the ages of 10-18 diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. As a general recommendation, Cohen states that if the d value is less than 0.2, the effect size can be defined as weak, if it is 0.5, it can be defined as medium, and if it is greater than 0.8, it can be defined as strong (Cohen, 1988). The minimum number of samples was calculated with the G\*Power 3.1.9 program. Accordingly, the minimum number of samples to be included in the study for an effect size of 0.5, statistical power of 80% and margin of error of 0.05 was calculated as 29.

Brief summary: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional, multifactorial disease that becomes more prevalent in adolescents, disrupts the three-dimensional mechanism and posture of the vertebra, causes deterioration in the person's body perception and cosmetic perception, and also causes negative effects on social life and quality of life. Although idiopathic scoliosis is more common during adolescence, its cause is not yet known. It is divided into three subheadings according to the age of onset. These are respectively; It is classified as Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis (0-3 years), Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis (4-10 years), Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (10 years and above). The most common one is Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Its incidence in girls is 4 times higher than in boys. This study aimed to examine the effects of body image and self-esteem on quality of life in idiopathic adolescent scoliosis patients and to determine whether there is a difference between genders. Additionally, it will be examined what effect the duration of corset use has on these parameters.

Thirty idiopathic adolescent scoliosis patients, boys and girls aged between 10 and 18, will be included in the study. Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) to evaluate body image, Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale to evaluate body image, Scoliosis Research Society-22 Quality of Life Questionnaire to evaluate the level of quality of life, sociodemographic data form to obtain personal data, Statistical Package to analyze the data. for Social Science (SPSS) planned to use Windows version 22.0
