Spinal cord injury and aging: an exploration of the interrelatedness between key psychosocial factors contributing to the process of resilience

Abstract: Context: Extant literature highlights how many individuals display resilient trajectories following spinal cord injury (SCI), exhibiting positive psychological adjustment. In the absence of a universal definition, it is agreed that resilience is demonstrated when individuals have better-than-projected outcomes when considering the level of adversity experienced. Previous research has focused on traits connected to vulnerability and maladaptive trajectories following SCI rather than the psychosocial factors tha… Show more

“…Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a permanent and disabling disorder that generates great personal loss and social burden ( 1 ). It is estimated that the global incidence of SCI ranges from 10.4 and 83 per million per year, and will continue to rise with the rapid development of transportation and aging population ( 2 , 3 ). In general, we customarily divide the pathophysiology process of SCI into primary injury and secondary injury; the former commonly occurs owing to vertebral fracture or dislocation caused by a mechanical insult, which would destroy the nervous tissue directly ( 4 , 5 ).…”

“…When present, these relationships add substantial meaning to the person’s life [ 12 , 31 ] and can significantly lessen feelings of grief and loss related to their injury [ 34 ]. Quality relationships have also been found to offer additional psychosocial benefits for people with SCI by buffering against mental and bodily stress [ 39 ] as well as financial stress [ 30 , 37 ], all of which are integral to daily coping and retaining resilience [ 1 ].…”
