Introduction[edit | edit source]

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has the potential of resulting in devastating consequences after occurrence.[1] Often, the management of SCI is centered on the motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions, yet SCI can have tremendous psychosocial consequences on affected individuals.[2][3][4] Research has shown that many with sudden onset of SCI will exhibit extreme negative emotions after a SCI which can impair psychological as well as social integration after an injury.[1] Also, mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder among others may be at an elevated level for people with SCI,[3][4] with psychological and social factors having a role to play in both the incidence and progression of these mental health problems.[5] Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to these psychosocial factors which may have extreme consequences on achieving remarkable rehabilitation goals and improving the quality of life of people with SCIs,[1]
