There is a large body of literature related to rehabilitation nursing care of patients with SCI; however, little research focuses on how this care may influence outcomes, such as length of stay (LOS), complications, and quality of life. As part of its practice guidelines, the Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine, identified four domains of outcomes for patients with traumatic SCI: motor recovery, functional independence, social integration, and quality of life.1 Nursing interventions likely influence the domains of functional independence, social reintegration, and quality of life.
