Associations between psychological factors and quality of life ratings in persons with spinal cord injury: a systematic review

et al. 2011

Study design: Systematic review. Objectives: To review the literature on relationships between psychological factors and quality of life (QOL) of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: NA. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in several online databases (PubMed, Embase and PsychInfo). Articles were included if they provided quantitative information on associations between QOL-related dependent variables and psychological factors as independent variables in an SCI population. The search was limited to empirical studies published in English. The methodological quality of the included articles was assessed. Results: A total of 48 studies were included. Total locus of control, sense of coherence, self-worth, hope, purpose in life and positive affect were consistently associated with greater QOL. Negative affect and posttraumatic cognitions were consistently associated with lower QOL. Inconsistent evidence was found for subscales of locus of control, the role of attribution of blame, spirituality, personality, appraisals, passive coping and emotion-focused coping. No evidence was found for an association between active problem-focused coping styles and QOL. Conclusion: Many psychological factors were strongly and consistently related to QOL, but for some others no or inconsistent evidence was found. Further research should (1) use larger study groups, preferably in longitudinal designs, (2) improve terminological precision and avoid conceptual overlap between determinants and outcomes, (3) increase uniformity of questionnaires and (4) reexamine concepts that have been abandoned prematurely, such as personality and social comparison.

“…The utility of the LOC construct within health and medical contexts has been extensively demonstrated across a broad variety of pathology [4][5][6][7][8][9]. There have also been some interesting and clinically relevant observations that the LOC construct may mediate health outcomes/status [10][11][12].…”

“…In addition to multiple losses in life, individuals with SCI/D can also experience the most basic kind of loss a person can sustain-the loss of body function, privacy, and personal space. The decreased sense of control over one's life is connected with poor adjustment outcomes, including depression [17]. These changes in daily routines, activities, access for decision-making choices and scrutiny necessitated by hospitalization and injuryspecific care requirements can be stressful and may lead to increased feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability [18,19].…”

It has been well documented that spinal cord injury injury/dysfunction (SCI/D) can have a substantial impact upon psychological functioning. The complications that are produced by such an event include an array of physical issues (e.g., incontinence, impotence) to social difficulties (e.g., social resource access). Originally, the rehabilitation treatment focused on the physical impairment and psychological effects on the individual. For example, literature on sexuality after injury has examined the areas of the sexual response cycle, reproductive functioning, sexual behavior, and adjustment. Today, as the professional's awareness of the incidence of sexual trauma increases, assessing the impact of trauma history is an important healthcare consideration. Within the VA Healthcare System, military sexual trauma history is routinely screened. The complexities of working with individuals with SCI/D and sexual trauma can be challenging as some may lack effective verbal and social skills necessary for resolving interpersonal conflicts and advocacy. A pragmatic clinical model to utilize social skills deficit training is described in conjunction with specific sexual trauma treatment, as a way of increasing effective working relationships to maximize rehabilitation potential.
