Parkwood's VIP4SCI platform: A virtual e-health self-management solution for persons with spinal cord injury across the care continuum.

Objective: Parkwood VIP4SCI platform is a virtual e-health solution adapted from a version created for Spinal Cord Injury Ontario (SCIO) that focused on self-management skill development for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) transitioning between stages of care, in partnership with caregivers and clinicians. This evaluation of the platform informs the usability and feasibility of a model to facilitate service care aims postrehabilitation.

Design: Inpatients and outpatients admitted to the SCI Rehabilitation Program (n = 31), and a mix of interdisciplinary clinicians on the Rehabilitation Team (n = 20).

Internet-based sexual health resources for those living with spinal cord injury: A content analysis.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) disrupt physiological functioning which can significantly impact sexuality. Those with SCI may rely heavily on Internet sexual health resources for many reasons. Evaluation of current internet health resources is warranted to identify the gaps in the literature.

Addressing the elephant in the room: integrating sexual health practice in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Purpose: Sexual health, a basic human right, maybe disrupted after a spinal cord injury (SCI) and is often not addressed in rehabilitation. This quality improvement initiative embedded sexual health education and support for patients with SCI into clinical practice.

Materials And Methods: In 2017-2018 a team of clinicians, researchers and persons with SCI developed and implemented a new sexual health practice in SCI rehabilitation.
