PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Spinal cord injury (SCI) often represents a significant life change, yet most individuals with SCI show resilience and positive adjustment after injury. Social support, including support from health care providers, has been associated with increased resilience among the SCI population. This study aimed to further understand health care providers' perceptions of resilience in their SCI patients, as patient-provider relationships can impact health care outcomes and overall health and well-being. RESEARCH METHOD/DESIGN Eighty-four health care providers from a Veterans Health Administration SCI service in California participated in this study. Using a cross-sectional survey design, a 22-item questionnaire was created to explore health care providers' perceptions of resilience and positive adjustment among the SCI population. RESULTS Overall, 44% of participants accurately stated that 60% of the SCI population shows resilience. However, 62%-67% reported significant levels of mental health symptoms and 48% indicated poor adjustment following SCI. Eighty percent believed that quality of life is dependent on level of injury. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Results highlighted discrepancies between providers' perceptions and the current literature on resilience and SCI. Specifically, while many acknowledge resilience within this population, many providers indicated significant levels of mental health concerns and poor adjustment following an SCI. Due to the impact health care providers have on patient care, and research linking positive support from health care providers to resilience in SCI, further understanding of these misperceptions and biases is critical. Suggestions for providers to address potential biases and misperceptions, and ultimately strengthen the provider-patient relationship, are provided.

医疗保健提供者对脊髓损伤人群的复原力和积极调整的看法。

目的/目标 脊髓损伤 (SCI) 通常代表着重大的生活变化，但大多数 SCI 患者在受伤后表现出复原力和积极调整。社会支持，包括来自医疗保健提供者的支持，与 SCI 人群的复原力增强有关。本研究旨在进一步了解医疗保健提供者对其 SCI 患者复原力的看法，因为患者与提供者之间的关系会影响医疗保健结果以及整体健康和福祉。研究方法/设计来自加利福尼亚州退伍军人健康管理局 SCI 服务的 84 名医疗保健提供者参与了这项研究。使用横断面调查设计，创建了一份包含 22 项的问卷，以探索医疗保健提供者对 SCI 人群的复原力和积极调整的看法。结果 总体而言，44% 的参与者准确地表示 60% 的 SCI 人群表现出复原力。然而，62%-67% 的人报告了显着水平的心理健康症状，48% 的人表示 SCI 后调整不佳。80% 的人认为生活质量取决于受伤程度。结论/影响 结果强调了提供者的看法与当前关于弹性和 SCI 的文献之间的差异。具体来说，虽然许多人承认这一人群的复原力，但许多提供者表示在 SCI 后存在严重的心理健康问题和不良调整。由于医疗保健提供者对患者护理的影响，以及将医疗保健提供者的积极支持与 SCI 的复原力联系起来的研究，进一步了解这些误解和偏见至关重要。提供了建议，以帮助提供者解决潜在的偏见和误解，并最终加强提供者与患者的关系。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
