Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the efficacy of a treatment to improve resilience to stress for individuals with SCI who are transitioning from inpatient rehabilitation to home. The overarching hypothesis is that individuals who participate in an intervention that presents positive psychotherapy topics in an interactive, structured, cognitive-behaviorally-based group intervention that stresses restructuring maladaptive thought processes and provides experiential opportunities to reinforce behavioral change will demonstrate increased self-efficacy.

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the efficacy of a treatment to improve resilience to stress for individuals with SCI who are transitioning from inpatient rehabilitation to home. The overarching hypothesis is that individuals who participate in an intervention that presents positive psychotherapy topics in an interactive, structured, cognitive-behaviorally-based group intervention that stresses restructuring maladaptive thought processes and provides experiential opportunities to reinforce behavioral change will demonstrate increased self-efficacy. There were three aims of this study: AIM 1: Self-Efficacy - To examine the ability of a six-week, manualized, cognitive-behaviorally based group educational intervention (Re-Inventing Yourself after SCI-Bridge) to improve both SCI-specific and general self-efficacy for people who are early in the process of community reintegration; AIM 2: Psychosocial Adjustment - To assess the ability of the Re-Inventing Yourself after SCI-Bridge intervention to improve psychosocial adjustment of people with SCI who are early in the community reintegration process; and, Aim 3: Participation - To determine the ability of the Re-Inventing Yourself after SCI-Bridge intervention to improve societal participation for people with SCI who are early in the community reintegration process. ;
