“…Several studies have compared life satisfaction of people with long-standing SCI with that of the general population (Figure 1). 14,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] The differences between mean scores in people with SCI and in the population are expressed as effect sizes. 45 The mean effect size of all studies in Figure 1 is À0.77 (s.d.…”

Psychosocial issues in spinal cord injury: a review

Study design: Review. Objectives: To review literature on subjective well-being (SWB; mental health and life satisfaction) and on psychological and social support factors associated with these outcomes in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), in order to identify gaps in scientific knowledge and recommend research priorities. Setting: Non applicable. Methods: Narrative review of the SCI literature on life satisfaction and mental health (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress syndrome) outcomes in people with SCI. Further, reviews were performed of the SCI literature on psychological and social support variables associated with SWB and on psychosocial interventions aimed to improve SWB. Results: People with SCI experience, on average, higher levels of distress and lower levels of life satisfaction compared with the general population. Individual differences, however, are large, and most people with SCI adapt well to their condition. A set of psychological and social support factors is strongly related to SWB. Intervention studies on cognitive behavioural therapy or coping effectiveness training to improve SWB show promising results, but suffer from methodological weaknesses (for example, lack of randomization and small sample size). Conclusion: There is a need for cohort studies with sufficient sample size, which include people early after onset of SCI in order to enhance our understanding of the course of mental health and well-being after SCI. Cohort studies could also identify which people are at risk for long-term impairment of SWB. Finally, intervention studies on psychosocial interventions are needed to identify which interventions may improve SWB of people with SCI.

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

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.

“…There are many factors, including age, sex, severity, marital status, educational level, duration of injury, emotional response, social support, coping styles and self-perception, that influence the acceptance of disability. 1,6,8,9,5 However factors that correlated with acceptance of disability in Thai SCI patients have never been studied. Therefore, this study was undertaken to examine such factors and to compare them with duration after injury.…”

The objective of this study was to examine the psychological factors related to acceptance of disability and to compare the correlated factors with duration of spinal cord injury (SCI). Demographic data, the Acceptance of Disability Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale were analyzed to assess correlation with acceptance of disability of SCI persons attending the outpatient Clinic or admitted to the Rehabilitation Ward, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai between April and May 2004.Sixty-one SCI persons had completed a self-report measure with mean age of 36.6 years and mean duration after SCI of 48.5 months. They were divided into 2 groups-those with injury more than 6 months and those within last 6 months after injury, and were compared in regard to acceptance of disability. Self-efficacy had positive correlation while depression and anxiety were negatively correlated with acceptance of disability (r=.511, -.488,-.456, p<0.01). Sex, educational level, status, severity, duration after SCI and age had no significant correlation with acceptance of disability. In addition, SCI persons who had duration after SCI of more than 6 months reported more acceptance of disability than those being SCI for less than 6 months, though not to the point of reaching the statistical significance.In conclusion, this study shows that self-efficacy and emotional status are correlated with acceptance of disability. SCI persons will be able to adjust to their disability more easily if social learning and emotional support are emphasized. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 2, Number 1, 2005, Page: 67-70
