Abstract
The purposes of this study are (1)
to validate the WHOQOL-BREF for
people with spinal cord injuries (SCI);
(2) to describe the influencing factors
and changes of quality of life; and (3) to
validate the relationships among body
structure and function, activity limitation,
participation limitation, contextual
factors, and quality of life (QOL), based
on the Model of Disablement presented
in the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health,
(ICF). This longitudinal and cohort
study included 119 subjects with
traumatic SCI. We surveyed subjects
with a designed questionnaire at the time
of hospitalization and one year after
injury. We used SPSS and AMOS to
conduct descriptive analysis and
confirmatory analysis. Results showed
that the WHOQOL-BREF was usable
among subjects with SCI. One year after
onset, the physical health and
environmental domains of WHOQOL
were significantly increased. There were
no significant differences among
psychological health and social
relationship domains. Participation was
significantly associated with QOL; self
care ability was significantly associated
with participation; impairment and
number of health problems were
significantly associated with self care
ability. Results validated the disablement
model developed by WHO.
