“…14 Participation of people with SCI is determined by a range of factors, including lesion characteristics and environmental factors. 25 In the literature, similar associations between general SE and participation (r 0.31 − 0.52) have been found. 6,26 The relationship between DMSE and mood and life satisfaction SE is one of the most consistent determinants of mood and life satisfaction in the literature, with associations between SE and QoL, life satisfaction and well-being ranging from r = 0.23 to 0.73, and β = 0.21 to 0.39.…”

“…It is therefore important to understand how persons living with SCI experience environmental barriers. Encountering barriers can be stressful and make it difficult for people to participate in valued life situations [8]. The experience of environmental barriers can be influenced by time-invariant and time-variant factors.…”

Study design Cohort study with two measurement occasions.Objectives To investigate change in environmental barriers experienced by people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) over a 5-year period. Setting Community, Switzerland. Methods Data were from the Swiss spinal cord injury (SwiSCI) survey. Main outcome measure was the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory-Short Form. Random-effects Poisson regression featuring between-within estimation was used to examine predictors of the number of environmental barriers and of its change over time.Results One thousand five hundred and forty-nine persons participated in Survey 2012 and 1530 participated in Survey 2017; 761 participated in both surveys. In both surveys most participants reported at least three barriers. Leading issues were unfavorable climate, inaccessibility of buildings and public spaces, and lack of or insufficiently adapted means of transportation. Reporting of barriers related to climate, finances, and state services declined over time. Between subjects, having more health problems, lesser physical independence, poorer mental health, and a lower household income were related to a higher number of barriers experienced. Within subjects, improvements in income, physical independence, and mental health over time were related to a reduction in barriers. Conclusions Inaccessibility of buildings and places and problems with transportation remained major barriers over a 5-year period and should be priorities of Swiss disability policy. People with reduced mental and physical health, and those with lower income are vulnerable groups deserving specific attention. Policies targeting income and life-long rehabilitation targeting health promotion and maintenance may be suitable means to reduce the experience of environmental barriers.

Development and cognitive testing of the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory in Canada, Switzerland, and the USA

Abstract: For people with spinal cord injury, the NEFI may help to identify limiting and helpful environmental factors, while considering avoiding and overcoming behaviours. Quantitative validation and exploration of the possible use of the NEFI in other diagnostic groups is recommended.
