Purpose: This study aimed at testing the internal consistency and longitudinal measurement invariance of a brief quality of life questionnaire-the spinal cord injury quality of life basic data set (SCI-QoL-BDS)-among individuals with spinal cord injury/disorder undergoing first inpatient rehabilitation.
Methods: Longitudinal data from the Swiss spinal cord injury inception cohort study were used. Participants (n = 218) completed the SCI-QoL-BDS at one and three months post injury and at discharge.
Study Design: This study is a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort Study.
Objectives: To examine internal consistency and convergent validity of the International Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Basic Data Set (QoL-BDS) at discharge from first inpatient rehabilitation.
Setting: The study was performed at four rehabilitation centers in Switzerland.
Study Design: Qualitative interview-based pilot study.
Objectives: A traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) profoundly disrupts the way individuals experience their body. Awareness of one's body is an important element in the psychological adjustment process after TSCI.
