The transition from acute rehabilitation to life in the community represents a new experience for the person with a spinal cord injury (SCI). After returning home, the person is required to manage a range of new challenges created by the injury and its consequences. There is a paucity of information regarding the practical aspects of persons with SCI attaining educational goals and full-time employment. Considerations such as emotional/social adjustment, support systems, physical and attitudinal barriers, work disincentives, and health care needs must be addressed. This article illustrates how one person with quadriplegia overcame obstacles and barriers in his quest to obtain a college education and gainful employment. The experiences of a young man with quadriplegia, as well as a nursing perspective, are presented. Key aspects are identified and related to nursing practice. Stages of adult development, education, and practical considerations are also examined.
从急性康复过渡到社区生活，对于脊髓损伤（SCI）患者来说是一种全新的体验。回家后，患者需要应对由损伤及其后果带来的一系列新挑战。关于SCI患者实现教育目标和全职就业的实际情况，信息十分匮乏。必须解决诸如情绪/社会适应、支持系统、身体和态度障碍、工作阻碍以及医疗保健需求等问题。本文阐述了一名四肢瘫痪患者在追求大学教育和有酬工作过程中如何克服障碍。文中呈现了一名年轻四肢瘫痪男性的经历以及护理视角。确定了关键方面并将其与护理实践相关联。还探讨了成人发展阶段、教育以及实际考量因素。
