“…Adopting a family systems approach, Feigin [26] investigated the reciprocal relationships between sense of coherence (SOC) and adjustment for spouses two to 10 years after SCI or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in Israel.

Higher levels of spirituality were associated with improved quality of life, life satisfaction, mental health, and resilience for individuals affected by spinal cord injury. Health professionals can enhance the role that spirituality plays in spinal rehabilitation by incorporating the spiritual beliefs of individuals and their family members into assessment and intervention. By drawing upon meaning-making tools, such as narrative therapy, incorporating peer support, and assisting clients who report a decline in spirituality, health professionals can provide additional support to individuals and their family members as they adjust to changes after spinal cord injury.

Couple’s Experience with Multiple Sclerosis in the Context of their Sexual Relationship

Sexuality is an important aspect of a couple's relationship, but is often neglected in literature which focuses on the dysfunction associated with illness or disability. This study considers the impact of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) on the couple's sexual relationship. The purpose of the study was to understand the ''lived experience'' of couples in which the female partner was diagnosed with MS during the relationship. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used with each partner separately. Participants identified the primacy of communication in coping with the effects of MS. The women with MS live with the unpredictable course of their disease and doubts about their worthiness, attractiveness, and identity. The male partners of these women with MS perceived little impact on the women's sexuality, likely because the women went to great lengths to maintain their customary roles and to buffer their male partners from the full impact of the disease.

“…in addition to the multitude of effects of ABI on a child, its onset has been viewed as a source of prolonged stress on the family. The adjustment process following an event of ABI, therefore, becomes a shared family experience whose ramifications need to be understood [2]. Some researcht-rs believe that families suffer as much, if not more, than the survivors themselves [3].…”
