“…Telephone based counseling has also been shown to improve coping skills and community integration. 37 Changes need to be seen on the policy level as well, with more coordination and allocation of resources to those with low social integration. Expansion of the Family and Medical Leave Act could guarantee more long-term assistance.…”

Objective Major lower extremity amputation is a common procedure that results in a profound change in a patient's life. We sought to determine the association between social support and outcomes after amputation. We hypothesized that patients with greater social support will have better post amputation outcomes. Methods From November 2011 to May 2013, we conducted a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study. Social integration was measured by the social integration subset of the Short Form (Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART). Systemic social support was assessed by comparing a US and Tanzanian population. Walking function was measured using the 6MWT and quality of life (QoL) was measured using the EQ-5D. Results 102 major lower extremity amputees were recruited. 63 patients were enrolled in the US with a mean age of 58.0. Forty-two (67%) were male. Patients with low social integration were more likely to be unable to ambulate (no walk 39% vs. slow walk 23% vs. fast walk 10%; P=.01) and those with high social integration were more likely to be fast walkers (no walk 10% vs. slow walk 59% vs. fast walk 74%; P=.01). This relationship persisted in a multivariable analysis. Increasing social integration scores were also positively associated with increasing quality of life scores in a multivariable analysis (β .002; SE .0008; P = .02). In comparing the US population with the Tanzanian cohort (39 subjects), there were no significant differences between functional or quality of life outcomes in the systemic social support analysis. Conclusions In the US population, increased social integration is associated with both improved function and quality of life outcomes among major lower extremity amputees. Systemic social support, as measured by comparing the US population with a Tanzanian population, was not associated with improved function or quality of life outcomes. In the US, steps should be taken to identify and aid amputees with poor social integration.

“…So far, the results of online positive psychological interventions do not compare positively with the results of traditional or telephone-based cognitive behavioural therapy of depression in persons with SCI. 15,16 In the original evaluation of Psyfit, Bolier et al 8 reported significant small to moderate effects in persons in the general population, and these effects were larger. It is unclear why in our study, after encouraging short-term results, the longer-term (3 months post intervention) results were disappointing.…”

“…E-therapy reduces costs for agencies, which require travel of the social workers to assist their clients, such as older adults, people with physical disabilities, and prison populations (Lovejoy Downloaded by [DePaul University] at 12:58 12 October 2014 Dorstyn, Mathias, & Denson, 2011). Social workers working with these populations or in rural areas would have reduced amounts of time and money spent on travel if e-therapy were utilized.…”

Psychosocial outcomes of telephone-based counseling for adults with an acquired physical disability: A meta-analysis.

Abstract: The results suggest that telecounseling is an effective treatment modality for adults adjusting to a physical disability; however, further trials are needed to establish the long term psychosocial benefits.
