Examining motivators and barriers to meditation practice among individuals with spinal cord injury: Insights from a survey study
Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the meditation practices and preferences of individuals with SCI, highlighting opportunities and challenges for promoting meditation engagement and enhancing well-being in this population. Limitations of the study include limited generalizability, reliance on self-reported measures, and lack of assessment of potential confounding variables. Future research efforts should focus on developing and evaluating interventions that address the barriers and promote the uptake of meditation practices in this population.
