Psychosocial support for persons with spinal cord injury in African rural low income settings

Send us Fan MailTraumatic SCI is a relatively common occurrence in rural areas of low income countries. However, rehabilitation services in these areas are either unavailable or inaccessible by the majority. Psychosocial services are scarce and hardly tailored towards a diagnosis such as traumatic SCI. Left with no option, healthcare professionals such as nurses, medical doctors, surgeons and therapists take responsibility of using their general counselling skills to provide some psychological support to persons with SCI, with variable outcomes. Training psychological aspects to healthcare providers at all levels and formal involvement of local social support groups such as; religious leaders, peer group trainers and family in supporting persons with SCI in the continuum of care in resource constrained areas is crucial. Still, there is a need for a more formal and consistent SCI-specific psychosocial counselling and support for persons with SCI in these setting.This webinar promotes the Professor Paul Kennedy Legacy Scholarship for Psychology and showcases how the 2024 winner has benefitted from this award.
