Background: Scoliosis, a complex spinal disorder, often manifests during childhood and adolescence, posing significant challenges to physical development and quality of life if left undiagnosed or untreated. Public awareness of scoliosis, particularly in rural regions such as Hamirpur, is crucial for early detection and timely intervention. However, knowledge gaps and socio-economic barriers hinder effective management and treatment, exacerbating the burden of the condition.Material and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study assessed the awareness and knowledge of scoliosis among the general population of Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh. A structured questionnaire was administered to 400 participants aged 18 and above, encompassing socio-demographic details and 20 multiple-choice questions on scoliosis awareness. Data collection included both online and in-person surveys. Responses were scored and categorized into four knowledge levels: Very Good, Good, Fair, and Poor. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for data analysis.Results: The study revealed significant insights into scoliosis awareness. Of the 400 participants, 45.5% were male, and 54.5% were female, with a majority (69%) from rural areas. While 78% correctly identified scoliosis as a spinal curvature, only 65% understood its hereditary nature, and 62% were aware of surgical treatment options like spinal fusion. Knowledge scores categorized 27% as Very Good, 35% as Good, 29.5% as Fair, and 8.5% as Poor. Financial constraints (71%) and lack of access to healthcare facilities (68%) emerged as significant barriers to treatment.Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions to bridge critical knowledge gaps and promote early scoliosis detection and management. Integrating scoliosis awareness into school health programs and addressing socio-economic barriers through subsidized healthcare initiatives could significantly enhance outcomes. These efforts are vital to mitigating the long-term impact of untreated scoliosis on individuals and communities in Hamirpur.
