Özet

Background: This study examined the influence of pre-existing neuropsychiatric conditions on mental well-being, stress coping strategies, and rehabilitation and among the participants who had gone through traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Methodology: A non-randomized quasi-experimental trial was carried out, incorporating two intervention areas and one comparison area. For this purpose, a sample of 120 participants who underwent SCI were included and they were categorized into sub-acute (n= 60) and chronic (n= 60) groups. ANCOVA was used for analysis purpose and the significance level was p < 0.05. Results: The results obtained from this study show that there were insignificant differences in the form of negative effects such as injury becoming grievous, increased alcohol consumption, and use of psychotropic drugs (p > 0.05). Insignificant differences were observed within the context of BDI, STAI-S and STAI-T between both groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the patients with SCI need to integrate effective mental well-being and stress coping strategies to attain significant outcomes.
