Item Functional outcome following inpatient rehabilitation among individuals with complete spinal cord injury in Nepal(Springer Nature, 2021-10-07) Khatri, Prakriti; Jalayondeja, Chutima; Dhakal, Raju; Groves, Christine C.; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of MedicineObjectives: To describe functional outcomes using Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III) following inpatient rehabilitation among individuals with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in the low-income setting of Nepal; to evaluate functional changes from rehabilitation admission to discharge and to compare functional outcomes between neurological levels of injury (NLI) at discharge. Setting: Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC), Kavrepalanchowk, Nepal. Methods: We present data of all individuals with complete SCI who completed rehabilitation at SIRC in 2017. Data collected included: demographics, aetiology, neurological assessment, admission/discharge SCIM III scores, and length of stay. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pre/post-SCIM III scores were analyzed using Related-Samples Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Comparative analysis between NLIs was done using the Kruskal Wallis ANOVA test followed by pairwise Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: Ninety-six individuals were included. Mean (SD) age was 33.5 (14.2) years, with a male/female ratio of 3.4:1. Median admission and discharge total SCIM III scores for cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral levels were 10 and 21, 16 and 61, and 41 and 79.5, respectively. Median total SCIM III score change between admission and discharge were 11 (p = 0.003), 43 (p < 0.001) and 40 (p = 0.068) for cervical, thoracic and lumbar groups, respectively. Conclusions: This study is the first of its kind to describe functional outcomes among individuals with complete SCI in the low-income setting of Nepal. All SCI groups showed a positive trend in SCIM III from admission to discharge, with improvements reaching statistical significance among groups with cervical and thoracic NLIs.Item Recovery-oriented Acute Inpatient Mental Health Care: Operationalization and Measurement(American Psychological Association, 2021) McGuire, Alan B.; Kukla, Marina; Rollins, Angela L.; Garabrant, Jennifer; Henry, Nancy; Eliacin, Johanne; Myers, Laura J.; Flanagan, Mindy E.; Hunt, Marcia G.; Iwamasa, Gayle Y.; Bauer, Sarah M.; Carter, Jessica L.; Salyers, Michelle P.; Psychology, School of ScienceObjective: The current article describes efforts to develop and test a measure of recovery-oriented inpatient care. Method: The Recovery-oriented Acute INpatient (RAIN) scale was based on prior literature and current Veterans Health Administration (VHA) policy and resources and further revised based on data collection from 34 VHA acute inpatient units. Results: A final scale of 23, behaviorally anchored items demonstrated a four-factor structure including the following factors: inpatient treatment planning, outpatient treatment planning, group programming, and milieu. While several items require additional revision to address psychometric concerns, the scale demonstrated adequate model fit and was consistent with prior literature on recovery-oriented inpatient care. Conclusions and Implementations for Practice: The RAIN scale represents an important tool for future implementation and empirical study of recovery-oriented inpatient care.
