To understand the meaning of hope among individuals with spinal cord injury.
A qualitative study employing the ethnographic method was used, with 18 individuals.
Participant observation was chosen to understand individuals with spinal cord injury and interviews were used to elicit information about the hope experience. The data were analysed using Ernst Bloch's theory of hope.
Participants constructed their own personality and sense of self, including their hopes for their future, based on their life before their injury. Life after experiencing spinal cord injury highlighted the limitations and potentialities of their hopes. Using a sense of hope to establish goals for the future helped participants overcome obstacles.
Hope in people with spinal cord injury helped them cope with the fundamental changes to their daily lives. Hope played an important role in articulating coping strategies and setting and achieving goals. These findings may help nurses understand the limits and potentialities of hope as an instigator of goals in the daily life of individuals with spinal cord injury.
了解脊髓损伤个体的希望意义。
采用人种学方法的定性研究，共纳入 18 名参与者。
选择参与式观察来了解脊髓损伤个体，并采用访谈来获取有关希望体验的信息。使用恩斯特·布洛赫的希望理论对数据进行分析。
参与者根据受伤前的生活，构建了自己的个性和自我意识，包括对未来的希望。经历脊髓损伤后的生活凸显了他们希望的局限性和可能性。利用希望感为未来设定目标有助于参与者克服障碍。
脊髓损伤患者的希望帮助他们应对日常生活的根本性变化。希望在表达应对策略以及设定和实现目标方面发挥了重要作用。这些发现可能有助于护士理解希望作为脊髓损伤患者日常生活中目标推动者的局限性和可能性。
