Objectives: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) can adversely affect ones’ life and coping with it is
very important. The present study reported the effects of reinforcing coping strategies using
Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Methods: This was a case report of 5 males with SCI, with the Mean±SD age and time passed
since the SCI of 34±15.9 years and 20.6±16.6, respectively. The study participants were
examined as part of routine clinical services at the Physiotherapy Department of Aminu Kano
Teaching Hospital. Fifteen minutes of MI was individually provided to the study participants
two times a week and for three weeks. Data were collected using the American Spinal Cord
Injury Association (ASCIA) impairment scale, COPE inventory, and Spinal Cord Injury-
Quality of Life (SCI-QoL) questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics.
Results: The obtained results revealed that all participants gained scores ranging from 3-4
on the satisfaction domain of quality of life at the baseline, which increased to 5 at the postintervention
phase. For the importance domain of quality of life, all patients had a maximum
score of 5 at the baseline, which remained unchanged at post-intervention.
Discussion: People living with SCI can benefit from MI in terms of improved coping
strategies. However, these findings are limited due to the nature of the study design and
the sample size. Therefore, more rigorous study designs are required to further investigate
the findings of this study.
