Community integration programs and interventions for people with spinal cord injury: a scoping review

Abstract

Aim: The focus of this scoping review was to identify the extent, range, and nature of studies that have been published regarding community integration programs and interventions that support people during the transition home from hospital following spinal cord injury. Methods: Four electronic databases and one search engine were searched for articles published between 2010 and 2020. Grey literature and manual searches were also done. Results: Of the 16 articles included, 8 were published in peer-reviewed journals. Two of these did not include an evaluation. Study designs included but were not limited to pilot studies (n = 2); mixed methods evaluations (n = 2); single-site randomized control..
