Many people with spinal cord injury (SCI) need a personal assistant (PA) to help them with activities of daily living. Personal assistance services can make a critical difference in adjustment to SCI and the ability to live independently. Using the independent living model, the person with a disability (employer) directs and monitors his/her health care needs. This article focuses on two essential skills needed by the employer of a personal assistant: 1) creation of a thorough job description using checklists and 2) communication skills needed to supervise the PA. Knowledge of these management skills will enhance the nurse's practice when working with clients who are new or experienced in using personal assistance services.
许多脊髓损伤（SCI）患者需要私人助理（PA）来协助他们进行日常生活活动。个人协助服务对于适应脊髓损伤和独立生活能力有着至关重要的作用。采用独立生活模式，残疾人士（雇主）可自行指导并监督其医疗保健需求。本文重点关注私人助理雇主所需的两项基本技能：1）使用清单创建详尽的工作描述，以及2）监督私人助理所需的沟通技巧。掌握这些管理技能将提升护士在为初次使用或有使用个人协助服务经验的客户提供护理时的实践能力。
