Background: Given the worldwide pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, this study sought to understand how people with spinal cord injury (SCI) perceive the post-pandemic context. Objectives: We aimed to understand the perceptions of people with SCI in Brazil regarding the world in the post-pandemic context. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted on SCI Brazilians using a form published on SurveyMonkey® with questions regarding their perspectives on the post-pandemic world. The responses were analyzed considering Bardin, Axel Honneth, and Ernst Bloch. Results: The results demonstrated that the lives of SCI people in Brazil did not change during the pandemic, as they were already isolated due to the lack of accessibility. Conclusions: Imagining future scenarios following the pandemic is highly complex; however, the present can be understood as a moment to reflect on how humanity has developed thus far, especially concerning impaired accessibility and the pervasive lack of empathy and solidarity.

IntroductionConsidering the limitations that disabled persons experience, our understanding of caring for these people has evolved over time worldwide. Because nursing care is dependent on the choices made by patients, nurses can play an emancipatory role by empowering patients with disabilities to become the primary agent in their rehabilitation. Objective was to conduct a range analysis protocol proposing the mapping of conceptual elements for a nursing care model based on the autonomy of disabled persons.Methods and analysisA protocol was developed in corporating insights from recent innovations and applying the scope review method of Arksey and O’Malley as a reference using their scoping review methodology as a guide. For the construction of research guiding question, the patient, intervention, comparison and outcomes strategy was adapted. Considerable research in online databases (14) from 2000 to 2018 will be integrated by bibliographical research. Proceed a consult in the Annals of the Brazilian Congress of Nursing, Brazilian Nursing Association and Portuguese Rehabilitation Nursing Association, as well as professional Portuguese and Brazilian nursing legislation. The entire reference list of the covered studies searched manually to detect considerable additional studies. In addition to these searches, stakeholders, including nurse experts in the rehabilitation field and disabled persons, will be requested and included.Ethics and disseminationThis study does not require ethical approval because it is a review and collection of data on publicly available materials. The results of this research will be published in a relevant journal on the subject of rehabilitation and presented at international scientific events in the area of rehabilitation nursing. Thus, the elaboration of this protocol further maps the gaps and strengthens the concepts capable of presenting strong evidence which assists and supports safer, smarter and more objective care for those living with permanent daily care obligations.

Aim: To understand the meaning of hope among individuals with spinal cord injury. Design: A qualitative study employing the ethnographic method was used, with 18 individuals. Method: Participant observation was chosen to understand individuals with spinal cord injury and interviews were used to elicit information about the hope experience. The data were analysed using Ernst Bloch's theory of hope. Findings: Participants constructed their own personality and sense of self, including their hopes for their future, based on their life before their injury. Life after experiencing spinal cord injury highlighted the limitations and potentialities of their hopes. Using a sense of hope to establish goals for the future helped participants overcome obstacles. Conclusion: Hope in people with spinal cord injury helped them cope with the fundamental changes to their daily lives. Hope played an important role in articulating coping strategies and setting and achieving goals. These findings may help nurses understand the limits and potentialities of hope as an instigator of goals in the daily life of individuals with spinal cord injury.

Objective The study seeks to reflect on rehabilitation nursing care, from the perspective of the Theory of Recognition and the Principle of Hope. State of art Reflection study, based on Axel Honneth’s Theory of Recognition crossed by Ernst Bloch’s Principle of Hope, aiming to elucidate the theoretical and methodological potential of these references for future research in health, nursing and rehabilitation nursing. Rehabilitation nursing care is permeated by theoretical and philosophical influences little described in the literature. The study proposes a way of thinking and exercising care with the perspective of building rehabilitation nursing care, in which the nurse excels in trust, respect and mutual esteem, playing the role of agent of hopeful and realistic expectations. Conclusion The study showed the main characteristics of each philosophical theoretical axis, permeating, separately, the relevant definitions to understand its implications in the concrete reality of living.

Objective: To identify in the literature the existing studies that discuss the perception of the relationship between hope, spinal cord trauma and nursing care. Methods: This is an integrative literature review, based on existing scientific publications in the main health databases, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, until 2017, totaling 11 studies. Results: The articles were evaluated for their construct quality through specific checklists for each type of study. Hope has emerged as a motivational strategy that drives positive attitudes, while it fosters the creative elaboration of goal-management strategies and enhances hope as a springboard for future possibilities. Conclusion: Although the scarcity of nursing studies that discuss the perception of hope in spinal cord injury, it was observed that it is inherent in the living process of people with this condition.
