研究设计：邮政调查目的：描述生活在社区中的脊髓损伤（SCI）患者的健康行为，以及健康行为、应答者/损伤特征和健康相关变量之间的关系：继发性损伤的存在和数量、康复中心和医院的再入院率以及感知健康。通过22项自我报告问卷评估了延迟或预防继发性损伤的健康行为的频率。调查问卷还集中在13个二级immorts.Results：从事健康行为的频率有很大的不同的受访者之间。在所测量的健康行为之间和内部观察到差异。受访者在坐/驾驶轮椅时不经常使用减压方法。根据应答者/伤害特征，在应答者亚组的健康行为之间几乎没有观察到统计学差异。然而，总的健康行为评分显着增加，随着年龄的增长和压疮预防显着更适用于一个完整的病变。健康行为明显更多地应用于有一个或多个二级imports.Conclusion：由于二级损伤普遍存在于SCI患者中，健康生活方式的教育是每个康复计划的核心组成部分，因此严格测试康复期间促进的健康行为的功效非常重要。因此，建议进行纵向研究。
Study design: Postal survey.Objective: To describe the health behaviour of persons with spinal cord injury(SCI) living in the community and the relationships between health behaviour, respondent/injury characteristics, and health-related variables: the presence and number of secondary impairments, readmissions in rehabilitation centre and hospital, and perceived health.Setting: Members of the Dutch Association of Patients with SCI.Methods: The frequency of health behaviours, that delay or prevent secondary impairments, was assessed by means of a 22-item, self-report questionnaire. The questionnaire was also focused on 13 secondary impairments.Results: The frequency of engaging in health behaviour varied considerably between the respondents. Variance was observed between and within the health behaviours measured. The respondents did not frequently engage in pressure relief methods when sitting/driving in their wheelchair. Almost no statistical differences were observed between health behaviour of subgroups of respondents based on respondent/injury characteristics. However, the total health behaviour scores increased significantly with increasing age and pressure sore prevention was significantly more applied in persons with a complete lesion. Health behaviour was significantly more applied in respondents who had one or more secondary impairments.Conclusion: As secondary impairments are prevalent among persons with SCI and education on a healthy lifestyle is a core component of every rehabilitation programme, it is of great importance to rigorously test the efficacy of health behaviours promoted during rehabilitation. Therefore, longitudinal research is recommended.
