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.

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 aspects such as stress, anxiety, social limitations, and psychosocial burden experienced during the caregiving process. The SCaRES scale consists of 18 items. Each item is scored on a Likert-type scale of 1- Never, 2- Rarely, 3- Often, and 4- Always. The total scale score indicates the caregiver's level of impact on the treatment process. A higher score indicates a greater level of emotional and behavioral impact on the caregiver.
