Background and Objectives: One of the crucial purposes of the rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) is to integrate them into society and improve their quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to research on the importance of people’s needs in self-development and integration in society. This study aims to determine the level of needs of people with SCI in Saqez City, Iran, and investigate its correlation with the level of integration of these people after the injury in society. Methods: This research was conducted in a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical type. The necessary information was collected using a community integration questionnaire (CIQ) and Kimbrol’s needs in the form of a census from 110 people with SCI in the rehabilitation unit of the Welfare Department and other related departments (aid committee, Martyr Foundation) in Saqez City. A total of 99 people participated in this study. Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 24.0 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: In this study, 72.73% of the participants were men and the mean age was 44.67±13.91. The mean score of integration at home was 3.55±3.23, the score of the production activities scale was 2.33±1.52, and the integration score in the community was 6.97±2.83. The need for an improved house that was adapted to the conditions of the SCI people was one of the critical unfulfilled demands for these people in the direction of integration at home and social integration and productivity. On the other hand, the need for effective social and friendly activity is one of the unappreciated needs of people with SCI, which has a significant impact on their quality of life, social integration, and employment. Conclusion: The primary demands of people with SCI, especially the need to adapt the place of residence and the workplace to increase the social integration of people with SCI, should be evaluated and intervened.

“…When people feel free to choose and not compelled to travel, they are more likely to have satisfactory, delightful and meaningful experiences, regardless of why they travel. Positive travel experiences not only will contribute to the life satisfaction of people with SCI (Zhao et al, 2021), but also can encourage others with disabilities to participate in travel-related activities. These recommendations become even more relevant as the population ages and global interest in tourism and travel continues to increase.…”

Purpose/Objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) usually causes neurological impairment, which can make traveling to places challenging. The ability to travel is nevertheless essential for societal participation, and full participation of persons in society after SCI is a key indicator of successful rehabilitation. Research has widely documented lowered level of participation of people living with SCI. To offer insights for effective intervention, the study aims to examine how psychological and environmental factors influence participation in travel related activities after SCI. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT) and the literature in participation research, the study proposed a model depicting the interrelationships among travel barriers, travel need satisfaction, travel motivation and participation of people with SCI in travel-related activities. Research Method/Design: Cross-sectional quantitative data were collected from 250 individuals enrolled in a SCI model system. Results: Path analysis reveals significant negative effect of travel barriers on respondents' need satisfaction for autonomy, which in turn affects controlled motivation (introjected and external) and amotivation. Only external motivation leads to participation in travel while amotivation negatively influences travel participation. Travel barriers were found to indirectly influence travel participation through need satisfaction for autonomy, external motivation and amotivation. Conclusions/Implications: Although people have high intrinsic motivation for travel, they do not travel for fun as much as for external motivations after SCI. Travel barriers can lower people's need satisfaction for autonomy, which results more travel for external motivation. The study provides preliminary evidence supporting an SDT-based travel participation model after SCI. Impact and ImplicationsThe study provides initial empirical evidence demonstrating possible complex and dynamic interrelations among environmental and psychological factors that predict participation of people with spinal cord injury (SCI), suggesting environmental factors in the travel setting may play an indirect role rather than a direct role in influencing participation. The study adds to self-determination theory positing that relations among psychological needs satisfaction and motivation/behavioral outcomes are likely to be different for people with SCI and people without disabilities. The study recommends interventions that consider both the environmental factors and psychological factors related to autonomy can be effective for people with SCI in the context of encouraging participation in travelrelated activities.
