“…1 Why however, in-depth analysis of these findings has revealed that QOL ratings are linked to secondary complications, activity limitations and barriers to participation 2,3 rather than to factors relating to the injury itself or degrees of physical ability. 4,5 In fact, the majority of people with SCI report a high level of life satisfaction, 6 with research indicating that life satisfaction is directly related to involvement in productive activities, such as employment and leisure pursuits.…”

Study design: Longitudinal, multi-wave panel design. Objectives: To explore the changes in and the relationships between appraisals and coping with mood, functioning and quality-of-life (QOL) pre-and post-rehabilitation for acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: The data collected was part of an ongoing study from specialist units in selected British, Swiss, German and Irish SCI centres. Methods: Questionnaires (Functional Independence, QOL, Mood, Appraisals, Coping and Support) were administered to 232 patients at 12 weeks post injury and sent to participants at 1 and 2 years post injury by post. Results: Significant changes were observed in various outcome measures between 12 weeks and 1 year post injury, with little significant change occurring during the following year. Appraisals and coping at 12 weeks post injury were significantly related to outcome scores and also contributed significantly to the variance in QOL, mood and stress-related growth at 2 years post injury. Conclusion:The study provides further evidence for the link between appraisals, coping and subsequent adjustment to injury. Suggestion is made for the potential benefit of early assessment and intervention for patients at risk of poor adjustment to SCI.

“…If we had used more domains of the IPA-S, we might also have been able to evaluate the extent to which the participants experienced problems related to autonomy. Because it is important to focus on people's experience of their problems (Lund, Nordlund, et al, 2007), the fact that we did not use such data could be seen as a limitation.…”

“…Additionally, little is known about which environmental barriers generate the most housing accessibility problems and how autonomy indoors and outdoors is related to different types of environmental barriers. Although autonomy (Lund, Nordlund, Bernspång, & Lexell, 2007;Lund, Nordlund, Nygård, Lexell, & Bernspång, 2005) and personal factors and environmental components (Pettersson, Iwarsson, Brandt, Norin, & Månsson Lexell, 2014;Pettersson et al, 2013) have been studied among people with SCI, to the best of our knowledge existing knowledge about autonomy as related to personal factors and environmental components among PMD users is insufficient.…”

OBJECTIVE. To describe environmental barriers, accessibility problems, and powered mobility device (PMD) users’ autonomy indoors and outdoors; to determine the home environmental barriers that generated the most housing accessibility problems indoors, at entrances, and in the close exterior surroundings; and to examine personal factors and environmental components and their association with indoor and outdoor autonomy. METHOD. This cross-sectional study was based on data collected from a sample of 48 PMD users with a spinal cord injury (SCI) using the Impact of Participation and Autonomy and the Housing Enabler instruments. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. RESULTS. More years living with SCI predicted less restriction in autonomy indoors, whereas more functional limitations and accessibility problems related to entrance doors predicted more restriction in autonomy outdoors. CONCLUSION. To enable optimized PMD use, practitioners must pay attention to the relationship between client autonomy and housing accessibility problems.

“…Life satisfaction has been intensively studied in many patients groups encountered in rehabilitation medicine, especially patients with spinal cord injury [3,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. To our knowledge, however, it has scarcely been studied among patients with chronic pain [21][22][23].…”

Life satisfaction in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and its predictors Boonstra, Anne M.; Reneman, Michiel F.; Stewart, Roy E.; Post, Marcel W.; Preuper, Henrica R. Schiphorst Take-down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim. Abstract Purpose To determine the life satisfaction of patients with chronic non-malignant musculoskeletal pain (CMP) compared to the general population (GP) and to identify predictors of life satisfaction. Methods Subjects were patients with CMP (n = 1,082) admitted to multidisciplinary rehabilitation and a general population sample (n = 506). Lisat-9 measures satisfaction with life as a whole and eight life domains. Physical, emotional and social functioning and pain intensity were assessed using the SF-36. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyse differences between patients with CMP and the GP, and predictors of life satisfaction in patients with CMP.

Perceived participation and problems in participation are determinants of life satisfaction in people with spinal cord injury

Abstract: Perceived participation and problems in participation are determinants of life satisfaction in people with SCI. The results emphasize the importance to focus on severe problems with participation in order to optimize life satisfaction during the rehabilitation after SCI.
