The Impact

Background: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are a variety of chronic diseases that various causes such as trauma may contribute to its onset. One of the problems in these patients is the problem of physical activity and, consequently, daily activities. Objectives: This study aimed to assess daily living of patients with SCI. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study in 2019, 120 patients with SCI in Kermanshah were included in the study using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study fell into two parts. One part included the demographic characteristics of the SCI patients, and the other part was a questionnaire of the rate of the Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire (IPA-P). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using descriptive tests such as mean and standard deviation. Results: The result showed there was a significant relationship between demographic characteristics such as education (P < 0.007), time of spinal cord injury (P < 0.01), and income (P = 0.000). Also, the results showed there was a relationship between Autonomy and Participation, and the age of patients and their autonomy and participation decreased with age (P = 0.000, R = 0.72). Most of the patients had severe problems with daily activities. Also, most patients had very poor scores in relation to daily living activities. Conclusions: Considering the low rate of participation and autonomy in patients with SCI, it is suggested to conduct studies aimed at improving their self-care and social participation.

Optimal Quality

Our purpose was to identify demographic, educational, and injury-related characteristics associated with odds of employment and estimates of differential earnings among participants with spinal cord injury (SCI). Self-report assessments were obtained from 1,983 participants who had traumatic SCI, were 18+ years old, and less than 65 years of age. All were recruited into the current cross-sectional study from previous studies of health and aging from the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Midwestern participants had 2.41 higher odds of employment. Older age at injury was associated with lower odds of employment. There were no sex differences in the odds of employment, but women had an estimated US$19,431 lower conditional earnings. Non-Hispanic Blacks had 69% lower odds of employment, and those working had an estimated US$12,058 lower earnings. Ambulatory participants had higher odds of employment (odds ratio [OR] = 4.66) and higher conditional earnings (US$17,277) than those with the most severe SCI. Those with 4-year or postgraduate degrees had substantially higher odds of employment (OR = 4.15, OR = 5.72, respectively) and higher conditional earnings (US$29,990, US$44,580, respectively) compared with those with a high school certificate or less. These findings underscore the importance of policies to promote the optimal quality employment outcomes for people with SCI.
