The study group consisted of 100 adolescents (girls 83%, boys 17% of the entire main group) with an average age of 14 (13.83 \u00b1 1.92). The control group consisted of the same number of people as the study group (girls 78%, boys 22% of the entire control group) with an average age of 14 (14.09 \u00b1 2.16). The FQOL scale was used to assess the family\u2019s quality of life, and the F-COPES scale was used to assess the problem-solving strategies used by the family (individual members) in a difficult life situation. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the two compared groups. While dealing with a crisis situation in their families, adolescents treated for idiopathic scoliosis were using the spiritual support strategy (M \u00b1 SD 5.12 \u00b1 2.07) significantly more often, while their healthy peers much more willingly and more often benefited from other possible strategies (F-COPES). Additionally, statistically significant differences were observed in the assessment of children and adolescents from both groups that the usage of different strategies available on the F-COPES scale correlated and affected the areas of the FQOL level of their families. Gaining spiritual support had a negative impact on the area of physical and financial well-being of FQOL, as assessed by juveniles with SI (R = \u22120.254, p = 0.011). However, in the opinion of healthy peers, the strategy of gaining social support (F-COPES) resulted in a higher level of FQOL in the area of disability problems (p = 0.005). A long process of SI treatment can cause crisis situations for patients and their families and affect both the physical and mental health of patients by changing the FQOL level of their families.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20021177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T01:30:47Z","timestamp":1673314247000},"page":"1177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Influence of Family Crisis Coping Strategies on Family Quality of Life in the Assessment of Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0503-291X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Cyran-Grzebyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzesz\u00f3w, Aleja Majora Wac\u0142awa Kopisto 2A, 35-315 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8378-2340","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lidia","family":"Perenc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzesz\u00f3w, Aleja Majora Wac\u0142awa Kopisto 2A, 35-315 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5786-6214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justyna","family":"Wyszy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzesz\u00f3w, Aleja Majora Wac\u0142awa Kopisto 2A, 35-315 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Ko\u0142odziej-Lackorzy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzesz\u00f3w, Aleja Majora Wac\u0142awa Kopisto 2A, 35-315 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7698-0381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Majewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Institute of Health Sciences, College of Medical Sciences, University of Rzesz\u00f3w, Aleja Majora Wac\u0142awa Kopisto 2A, 35-315 Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Common Questions and Answers","volume":"101","author":"Kuznia","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am.
