Screening for cognitive and emotional problems in SCI rehabilitation: what, how and what to do with the results
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the greater calamities that can happen to a person. In addition to the severe physical limitations, many people with SCI experience cognitive limitations as a result of concomitant brain injury, or as a result of medication, sleep apnea or other sleep deprivation, etc. Many people with SCI also experience psychological distress, either pre-existent or in reaction to the event, disruption of their life and future plans etc. In response to this situation, it is recommended in rehabilitation guidelines to screen for psychological problems early after admission. The degree to which such recommendations have been implemented is, however, variable, mostly incomplete, and the use of screening results in multidisciplinary teams is suboptimal. In this workshop we will highlight three innovative approaches to screening of cognitive and emotional problems among people with recent SCI.
Outline of the workshop:
Marcel Post: Introduction (10 minutes)
Marcel will introduce the workshop and provide an overview of relevant guidelines.
Tijn van Diemen: Screening for psychological problems and strengths (20 minutes)
Tijn will describe recently implemented psychological screening in the Netherlands and how screening outcomes can be used to guide treatment by the rehabilitation team. He will also discuss how results are communicated to persons with SCI.
Jane Duff: Integrating Psychological Screening within MDT assessment (20 minutes)
Jane will present data from the Psychological Health section of the Stoke Mandeville Needs Assessment Checklist and discuss the Appraisals of Disability Scale (ADAPSS), Perceived Manageability and mood sections of this assessment and how psychologists and non-psychologists can use these within rehabilitation.
Ashley Craig: Screening for cognitive impairment (20 minutes)
Ashley will explore causes and impacts of cognitive impairment following SCI and present valid screens that can be used to detect impairment.
