abstract: 'Background: Community reintegration is a major outcome of rehabilitation
|
|
|
|
after the acute phase in people with spinal cord injury (PWSCI).
|
|
|
|
Objective: To investigated clinical and socio-demographic factors
|
|
|
|
determining community participation in PWSCI, living in the greater
|
|
|
|
eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal province.
|
|
|
|
Method: Our quantitative, cross-sectional study had a convenient sample
|
|
|
|
of 41 PWSCI. A trained interviewer obtained socio-demographic
|
|
|
|
information using a structured questionnaire. Participants completed the
|
|
|
|
Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI). Descriptive statistics were
|
|
|
|
used in summarising the data; inferential statistics, -a t-test and
|
|
|
|
analysis of variance (ANOVA) assessed the association of clinical and
|
|
|
|
socio-demographic factors with the extent of community reintegration. A
|
|
|
|
multiple linear regression investigated the determinants of community
|
|
|
|
reintegration with the alpha level set at p = 0.05.
|
|
|
|
Results: Mean age of the participants was 41 years (s.d.: 10, range
|
|
|
|
25-66), with the majority (n = 32, 78\%) being male. The mean RNLI score
|
|
|
|
was 68\% (s.d.: 22, range 24-100). Participants scored higher on the
|
|
|
|
RNLI if they were male (mean difference {[}MD] 18\%, 95\% confidence
|
|
|
|
interval {[}CI]: 2-34), were employed (MD 16\%, 95\% CI: 0-32), had a
|
|
|
|
salary (MD 19\%, 95\% CI: 5-32) and had no muscle spasms (MD 14\%, 95\%
|
|
|
|
CI: 1-27. Muscle spasms (p = 0.012, 95\% CI: 3.85-29.05) and being
|
|
|
|
female PWSCI (p = 0.010, 95\% CI: -35.75 to -5.18) were significant
|
|
|
|
negative predictors of community reintegration.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Community reintegration may be influenced by socio-economic
|
|
|
|
factors. Special interventions for muscle spasms and support for women
|
|
|
|
living with spinal cord injuries may enhance community reintegration.
|
|
|
|
Clinical implication: Therapists need to focus on community
|
|
|
|
reintegration with female PWSCI and on returning to PWSCI to work as
|
|
|
|
this was improved community reintegration.'
