PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Spinal cord injury (SCI) usually causes neurological impairment, which can make traveling to places challenging. The ability to travel is nevertheless essential for societal participation, and full participation of persons in society after SCI is a key indicator of successful rehabilitation. Research has widely documented lowered level of participation of people living with SCI. To offer insights for effective intervention, the study aims to examine how psychological and environmental factors influence participation in travel related activities after SCI. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT) and the literature in participation research, the study proposed a model depicting the interrelationships among travel barriers, travel need satisfaction, travel motivation and participation of people with SCI in travel-related activities. RESEARCH METHOD/DESIGN Cross-sectional quantitative data were collected from 250 individuals enrolled in a SCI model system. RESULTS Path analysis reveals significant negative effect of travel barriers on respondents' need satisfaction for autonomy, which in turn affects controlled motivation (introjected and external) and amotivation. Only external motivation leads to participation in travel while amotivation negatively influences travel participation. Travel barriers were found to indirectly influence travel participation through need satisfaction for autonomy, external motivation and amotivation. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Although people have high intrinsic motivation for travel, they do not travel for fun as much as for external motivations after SCI. Travel barriers can lower people's need satisfaction for autonomy, which results more travel for external motivation. The study provides preliminary evidence supporting an SDT-based travel participation model after SCI. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

环境和心理因素如何与脊髓损伤后的旅行参与相互作用。

目的/目标 脊髓损伤 (SCI) 通常会导致神经功能障碍，这会使前往具有挑战性的地方旅行。然而，旅行的能力对于社会参与至关重要，脊髓损伤后人们对社会的充分参与是成功康复的关键指标。研究广泛记录了 SCI 患者的参与水平降低。为了提供有效干预的见解，该研究旨在研究心理和环境因素如何影响 SCI 后参与旅行相关活动。本研究基于自我决定理论（SDT）和参与研究文献，提出了一个描述旅行障碍、旅行需求满意度、SCI 患者的旅行动机和参与旅行相关活动。研究方法/设计 从参加 SCI 模型系统的 250 名个体中收集横断面定量数据。结果 路径分析揭示了旅行障碍对受访者对自主性的需求满足的显着负面影响，进而影响受控动机（内向和外在）和动机。只有外部动机会导致参与旅行，而动机会对旅行参与产生负面影响。发现旅行障碍通过对自主性、外部动机和动机的需求满足间接影响旅行参与。结论/启示 尽管人们对旅行有很高的内在动机，但他们在 SCI 后旅行并不是为了好玩，而是为了外部动机。旅行障碍会降低人们对自主性的需求满意度，从而导致更多的外部动机旅行。该研究提供了支持 SCI 后基于 SDT 的旅行参与模型的初步证据。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
