“…Such relationships can influence the attitudes of an individual with SCI towards not only their disability but also their rehabilitation. 25,26 These relationships are also a powerful predictor of independent-living outcome variables and 27 and the improvement of chronic pain. 28 Lastly, participants also acknowledged that there were societal needs and obstacles they often face.…”

“…The patient and the family should be made aware of this at an early stage, including implications for the future. 17 In formation about the disability should be given in such a manner that it does not destroy hope. 18 Continued dependence on a ventilator may preclude the family from providing care as they may be afraid to take the patient home.…”

Recent advances in roadside management and resuscitation techniques have resulted in an increased survival rate of people with high cervical cord injury. A few become partially or permanently ventilator dependent. Not only are these people dependent on assisted ventilation, but their speech is also compromised, along with loss of voluntary control and many other bodily functions, as they are tetraplegic.By using recent technological advancements, such as portable ventilators, phrenic nerve stimulation, environmental controls and specialised wheelchairs it has been possible to manage such patients at home. Furthermore, patients on ventilators are unable to have verbal communication. There is therefore a need for them to develop either augmentative communication or the use of alternative communication aids. Recent published reports indicate the factors other than the clinical state that may prevent such patients from taking advantage of modern advances; the main issues appear to be cost factors, community care provision and ethical considerations.

Spinal cord injury may produce both immediate and long term stress and disability. The liaison psychiatrist may have an important role in dealing with the problems of the spinal cord injured patient, his family and the medical team. Problems occurring may cause or be exacerbated by psychological difficulties. Problems occurring during rehabilitation and long term adjustment have not been systematically studied. Many assumptions concerning the psychological responses to injury have been made. Such assumptions have important implications for both the short and long term treatment of patients. This paper examines some of these areas.
