dependent on the involvement of families and caregivers. The emotional burden, stress, anxiety, and social limitations experienced by caregivers during the treatment process can indirectly affect both the individual's quality of life and the success of the patient's treatment. Therefore, objectively assessing the emotional and psychosocial impact experienced by caregivers of individuals with scoliosis is crucial for planning appropriate supportive interventions. The Scoliosis Caregiver Response and Emotional Scale (SCaRES), developed for this purpose, is a specific measurement tool that assesses emotional and behavioral responses to the treatment process in caregivers of individuals with scoliosis. Validity and reliability studies are required for the scale's use in different cultures and languages. Cultural differences, linguistic shifts, and healthcare system dynamics limit the scale's direct translation. Therefore, developing a Turkish version of the SCaRES is crucial for validly and reliably assessing the psychosocial burden experienced by caregivers in Turkish society. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Scoliosis Caregiver Response and Emotional Scale (SCaRES) and to assess its reliability and ensure its usability in clinical and research settings.

Scoliosis Caregiver Group

Demographic information of caregivers who met the study criteria will be recorded at the beginning of the study. In this study, written permission was obtained from the authors of the original scale to establish the reliability and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Scoliosis Caregiver Response and Emotional Survey. The scale was first translated into Turkish by two independent translators, and the translations were combined and synthesized by experts (physiotherapy/rehabilitation specialists and a linguist). The resulting Turkish version was back-translated into English by an independent translator and checked for consistency with the original text. 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 dimensions such as stress, anxiety, social limitations, and
