摘要
Study design Qualitative study, using in-depth, and semi-structured interviews. Objective To identify the psychosocial challenges of social reintegration for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Iran. Setting People with SCI living in the community in Iran. Method Eleven individuals with SCI with a median time since injury of 12 years (between 9 and 20 years), two family members, and three specialists (two social workers and one physiotherapist) were selected by purposive sampling with maximum variation. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted and finally the data analyzed through qualitative content methodology. Results The psychosocial challenges were categorized into four main categories and twelve subcategories: early crises (denial and disbelief; feelings of isolation and depression; dependency crisis; and a sudden change in the normal course of life), disabling society (stigma; discrimination; employment challenges; and educational restriction), environmental barriers to access (lack of barrier-free environments and transportation challenges), and inappropriate services delivery (incomprehensive rules and lack of specialized training). Conclusions Providing various psychosocial services is essential for the social reintegration of people with SCI. This goal could be achieved by the provision of medical and physical rehabilitation services. The ultimate purpose of rehabilitation is to reintegrate individuals into society after injury or illness; thus, psychosocial issues must also be considered to ensure effective rehabilitation.
