The purpose of this article is to develop an evidence-based resource for knowing and communicating the complexities involved for both males and females in implementing and sustaining a physically active lifestyle shortly after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Synthesizing a set of qualitative and quantitative studies with over 500 spinal cord injured people, the article represents research utilizing the genre of ethnographic creative non-fiction. This genre of representation holds enormous potential for researchers in terms of disseminating their findings to diverse audiences beyond the academy, and having real impact.
The ethnographic creative non-fictions show together for the first time the barriers, determinants, benefits, trajectories, emotions, fears, preferred methods and messengers for delivering important physical activity information to men and women with a SCI.
The article contributes to knowledge by showing the embodied complexities involved when in rehabilitation for both males and females in implementing and sustaining a physically active lifestyle shortly after SCI. It also makes a contribution to practice by providing researchers, health care professionals and disability user-groups with a theory and evidence based resource to assist in informing, teaching and enabling people living with SCI to initiate and maintain a physically active lifestyle. Stories may be a highly effective tool to communicate with and to influence spinal cord injured people's activity.
The findings of this research showed the many benefits and barriers to developing and sustaining a physically active lifestyle shortly after spinal cord injury. The preferred methods and messengers for delivering physical activity information as well as the activity types, intensities and durations of physical activity for men and women were also shown. Within rehabilitation, spinal cord injured people need to be offered accessible knowledge about how to implement and sustain a physically active lifestyle over the life course. Stories may serve as a unique and powerful means to achieve this.
本文旨在为男性和女性在脊髓损伤后不久实施和维持积极的生活方式提供一个基于证据的资源，以了解和交流其中所涉及的复杂性。
综合了一系列涉及 500 多名脊髓损伤者的定性和定量研究，本文代表了利用民族志创意非小说体裁进行的研究。这种表现形式为研究人员提供了巨大的潜力，使他们能够将研究发现传播到学术界以外的更多受众，并产生实际影响。
这些民族志创意非小说首次展示了男性和女性在脊髓损伤后不久实施和维持积极生活方式所面临的障碍、决定因素、益处、轨迹、情感、恐惧、传递重要身体活动信息的首选方法和信息传递者。
本文通过展示男性和女性在康复过程中实施和维持积极生活方式所涉及的具体复杂性，为知识做出了贡献。它还通过为研究人员、医疗保健专业人员和残疾用户群体提供一个基于理论和证据的资源，为协助告知、教学和使脊髓损伤者开始并维持积极的生活方式做出了贡献。故事可能是与脊髓损伤者沟通和影响他们活动的一种非常有效的工具。
这项研究的结果表明，在脊髓损伤后不久发展和维持积极生活方式存在许多益处和障碍。还展示了男性和女性传递身体活动信息的首选方法和信息传递者，以及身体活动的类型、强度和持续时间。在康复过程中，需要向脊髓损伤者提供有关如何在整个生命周期中实施和维持积极生活方式的可及知识。故事可能是实现这一目标的独特而有力的手段。
