Study on the design and application of peer training scheme and quality of life in rehabilitated patients with spinal cord injury
Objective To explore the effects of peer training on activities of daily life(ADL)and quality of life(QOL)in rehabilitated patients with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods A total of 40 patients with SCI who were hospitalized in our hospital during the rehabilitation period from May to December 2022 were selected for the peer training.Peer training program included basic physical training,life reconstruction simulation training,home envi-ronment barrier-free transformation,driving license and travel,and career vision.The Modified Barthel Index(MBI)and World Health Organization on QOL Brief Scale(WHOQOL-BREF)were used to evaluate the ADL and QOL of patients before and after intervention for 10 weeks(2 cycles).Results After 10 weeks of peer training,the patients'MBI scores were higher than that before the training,and the scores of 4 dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF:Physical dimension,psychological dimension,social relationship dimension,and environmental dimension were higher than those before the training,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The results of this study shows that the peer training program used in rehabilitation patients with SCI can improve the level of ADL and QOL.
