Cognitions, Decisions and Behaviors Related to Successful Adjustment Among Individuals with SCI: A Qualitative Examination of Military and Nonmilitary Personnel

Abstract

This project is designed to find out how successful adjustment happens after SCI. Successful individuals will be identified from four sites through a mail survey. Those individuals (both those from military backgrounds and others) are being recruited to take part in an in-depth qualitative interview to help identify key factors in successful adjustment after SCI. The project has received 475 eligible responses to the survey from the 4 recruitment sites and we have begun to analyze and present on the data. The qualitative phase of the study was well underway. By the end of year 3, we had completed 41 (of the 60 planned) interviews and are beginning to examine and present on trends related to cognitive and psychosocial characteristics among individuals who have been identified as having successfully adjusted to SCI.
