Скачать или смотреть Living with Spinal Cord Injury: Greatest Fear at First

A sneak preview of the first video in a new 10-part series: "Voices of Experiences - Living With Spinal Cord Injury,” created for the in-hospital TV networks of major American spinal cord injury hospitals. It will be available online and for use by other healthcare institutions.

The videos focus on the questions, issues and concerns that are most important to patients in the early days after spinal cord injury. In this video, people with spinal cord injuries share what they remember as their greatest fears at first and how they overcame them.

Other videos in the series will cover the kind of personal subjects—dating, sex, fertility, relationships, family life—that patients are often unwilling or uncomfortable about bringing up during peer counseling, group therapy or even one-to-one talks with medical and rehabilitation professionals.

The series is a joint project of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and FacingDisability.com; it is partially funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).
