Abstract
EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENTS DURING THE TREATMENT OF SCOLIOSIS WITH HALO - FEMORAL TRACTION
Introduction. The adolescence period is a special stage in the development of every human being. During puberty, significant changes occur in the somatic, psychological and spiritual spheres. The main feature of adolescence is intensified emotionality. During this period there are significant changes in the range of body growth; very often the appearance of idiopathic scoliosis is observed. In the majority of cases, this disorder concerns adolescent girls. The etiology of idiopathic scoliosis is unknown. Treatment of severe scoliosis is complicated and involves high risk. One of the methods of surgical treatment of scoliosis with a severe primary curve is a two-stage surgery. The first stage consists of anterior release with halo – femoral traction. This kind of treatment is a very difficult period of time for patient, both in somatic and psychological terms. Negative emotional states can generate or increase the existing pain, what creates a vicious cause and effect circle.
Aim. Diagnose emotional problems of adolescents treated with the halo - femoral traction.
Conclusions. Emotional problems of surgically treated patients are often marginalized, although the emotional state influences the assessment of satisfaction with the treatment effects. The period of treatment with the halo - femoral traction is one of the most difficult stages of treatment for a young patient also in terms of emotions. Empathy, support and understanding are essential to successfully engage the patient in cooperation with a multidisciplinary therapeutic team and to minimize the negative emotional effects of trauma.
