[Purpose] The purpose of this research was to determine the awareness of the actual conditions of the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis by focusing on middle-school students in order to provide a basis for active education and treatment of scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] The survey was conducted among 4,782 students. The students performed Adam's forward bend test, and some of the students who showed predictive features of scoliosis were further examined for the spine structure with rasterstereography. [Results] The proportion of students with awareness about scoliosis appeared to be 71.47%. Among the students, 50.84% knew the definition of scoliosis and 4.37% were diagnosed as having scoliosis, of whom 46.37% underwent treatment. It was a significant difference between to get a diagnosis and the predictive scoliosis or the scoliosis. [Conclusion] The results showed that the students in the second grade of middle school had high awareness levels, but about 50% of them did not know the definition of scoliosis. More than 50% of them did not receive treatment after diagnosed as having scoliosis. Therefore, active education and school screening for scoliosis should be provided to adolescent students.
[目的]本研究旨在聚焦中学生，确定他们对脊柱侧弯诊疗实际情况的认知，以便为脊柱侧弯的积极教育和治疗提供依据。[对象与方法]对4782名学生进行了调查。学生们进行了亚当前屈试验，对一些显示出脊柱侧弯预测特征的学生，进一步采用光栅立体摄影术检查脊柱结构。[结果]对脊柱侧弯有认知的学生比例似乎为71.47%。在这些学生中，50.84%知道脊柱侧弯的定义，4.37%被诊断为患有脊柱侧弯，其中46.37%接受了治疗。确诊与预测性脊柱侧弯或脊柱侧弯之间存在显著差异。[结论]结果表明，初二年级学生有较高的认知水平，但约50%的学生不知道脊柱侧弯的定义。超过50%的学生在被诊断为脊柱侧弯后未接受治疗。因此，应向青少年学生提供脊柱侧弯的积极教育和学校筛查。
