Impact of Spinal Cord Injury on women's daily life

Objectives:To find out the activity limitation, environmental barrier, and life satisfaction of women with spinal cord injury. Methodology:This was a cross-sectional study. The Savar Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) provided 100 participants with spinal cord injuries for this study. Questionnaires were used to tally responses on measures like the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for gauging activity limitations, the Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors- Short Form (CHIEF-SF) for gauging environmental barriers, and the Diener Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) for measuring happiness. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0's descriptive statistics features, specifically Columns, pie charts, and bar graphs. Result:Most of the 101 people who had spinal cord damage were paralyzed. The average age of the people who took part was 32.21 years (±12.76 years). 24.8% of the participants (n=26) live in cities, while 75.2% (n=75) live in rural areas. There were significant (p=.001) links between age group and activity limitation, age group and environmental barrier, types of injury and activity limitation, and types of injury and life happiness. There was no link between age group and life satisfaction (p=.097) or between types of injuries and external barriers (p=.265). Conclusion:Women with spinal cord injuries who live independently in the community provide a thorough description of the multifaceted nature of activity limitation, participation restriction, life satisfaction, and the impact of SCI in this study. When contrasted to the other article, it becomes clear that women with SCI are disproportionately affected by the condition. The conclusion was explored at length, and it was backed by the other papers.
