“…Caregiver burden is defined as a range of stressors that impact emotional, social, financial, physical, and spiritual functioning 7 – 9 . Caregivers of patients with SCI are frequently exposed to physical burden by being engaged in the care activities of assisting patients; thus, caregiver burden negatively affects caregivers’ health status 10 , 11 . Such health deterioration can negatively affect caregivers’ physical, mental, and social quality of life (QoL) 10 , 12 , 13 .…”

The correlations between activities of daily living (ADL) among patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their caregivers’ burden, quality of life (QoL), and presenteeism was investigated. Participants included outpatients and inpatients with SCI at a rehabilitation center and their caregivers, recruited between March 2020 and April 2021. Eighty-seven valid responses were analysed using independent t-tests and Pearson’s correlations. There was a difference in caregiver burden according to patients’ ADL performance. QoL was negatively correlated with caregiver burden and presenteeism. Caregiver burden and presenteeism were positively correlated. Social support can improve caregivers’ QoL and reduce caregiver burden and presenteeism-induced work impairment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the leading challenges in developing countries’ traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) care.MethodsWe conducted a systematic search in electronic databases of PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library on 16 April 2023. Studies that investigated challenges associated with the management of TSCI in developing countries were eligible for review. We extracted related outcomes and categorized them into four distinct parts: injury prevention, pre-hospital care, in-hospital care, and post-hospital care.ResultsWe identified 82 articles that met the eligibility criteria including 13 studies on injury prevention, 25 on pre-hospital care, 32 on in-hospital care, and 61 on post-hospital care. Challenges related to post-hospital problems including the personal, financial, and social consequences of patients’ disabilities and the deficiencies in empowering people with TSCI were foremost studied. Lack of trained human resources, insufficient public education and delays in care delivery were barriers in the acute and chronic management of TSCI. A well-defined pre-hospital network and standard guidelines for the management of acute neurotrauma are needed. Critical challenges in injury prevention include deficiencies in infrastructure and supportive legislation.ConclusionStudies focusing on injury prevention and pre-hospital care in TSCI management in developing countries warrant further investigation. It is imperative to develop systematic and evidence-based initiatives that are specifically tailored to the unique circumstances of each country to address these challenges effectively. By understanding the primary obstacles, policymakers and healthcare providers can establish goals for improving education, planning, legislation, and resource allocation.
