尽管许多脊髓损伤（SCI）患者存在可预防并发症的风险，但很少有研究对这些人的健康行为进行检查。在这项研究中，我们检查了自我报告的健康行为的人与最近发生的SCI。我们还研究了健康行为和社会问题解决能力之间的关系。结果表明，积极的解决问题的特点与更多的适应性健康和事故预防行为。对解决问题和回避和冲动/粗心风格的负面取向与增加交通和物质风险。在健康教育，研究和预防计划方面的影响进行了讨论。
Although many persons with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are at risk for preventable complications, very little research has examined the health behaviors of these individuals. In this study, we examined self-reported health behaviors of persons with recent-onset SCI. We also studied the association between health behaviors and social problem-solving abilities. The results indicated that positive problem-solving characteristics were associated with more adaptive wellness and accident prevention behaviors. A negative orientation toward problem solving and avoidant and impulsive/careless styles was associated with increased traffic and substance risk taking. Implications are discussed in terms of health education, research, and prevention programs.
