The purpose of this study was to explore the joint contributions of demographic vari-ables, perceived health, self-efficacy beliefs, and perceived social support to subjective well-being (SWB) in people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). One hundred twenty-seven individuals with SCI participated in the study. The results indicated that general self-efficacy, perceived social support, perceived health, and age at injury accounted for a substantial variance in SWB of the participants. Income was correlated with SWB, but it did not contribute to the prediction of SWB when the influences of general self-efficacy, perceived social support, perceived health, and age at injury were statistically controlled. Gender, ethnicity, and educational level were not significantly correlated with SWB. Implications of the results for rehabilitation counseling practice and research are discussed.

quality of intervention studies of the treatment of depression among persons with SCI. Method: An extensive range of peer-reviewed published research was identified through established databases, critical reviews, and published meta-analyses. Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. One antidepres-sant study was rated above Level III; although the psychological intervention studies had control groups, these were not randomized. Conclusion: This review demonstrates the need for randomized clinical trials of psychological and pharmacological interventions for depression and distress among persons with SCI, so that informed decisions concerning cost-effective treatments can be made. Depression has received more attention from clinicians and researchers than any other psychological issue among persons with spinal cord injuries (SCI; Elliott & Umlauf, 1995). For many years, clinical lore maintained that depression was to be expected soon after the onset of injury, and it was construed as a critical element in most anecdotal models of adjustment, typically signaling ratio-nal acceptance of the permanence of the injury (Frank, Elliott, Corcoran, & Wonderlich, 1987). Empirical study has broadened our understanding of depression considerably. Studies relying on

references, 55 titles. The study purposes were to identify changes in resilience, satisfaction with life (SWL), depression, spirituality, and functional independence (FI) and to examine the relationship between these variables, during the inpatient rehabilitation for a spinal cord injury (SCI). The sample included 42 individuals with a SCI, 33 males and 9 females, who were inpatients with a mean stay of 52 days (SD = 15.78). A repeated measures design was employed with questionnaires completed at three times during rehabilitation. Results indicated that there were significant changes in depression, satisfaction with life, spirituality, and FI during inpatient rehabilitation. Findings also indicated significant correlations between resilience, SWL, spirituality, and depression. Future studies developing interventions, and examining factors that predict resilience could help build resilience and may improve rehabilitation outcomes.
SOCIAL SUPPORT: MEDIATORS AND MODERATORS OF DEPRESSION IN A SPINAL CORD INJURY SAMPLE WITH CHRONIC PAIN

Chronic pain and depression are frequently co-reported secondary complications following spinal cord injury (SCI) that impact multiple psychosocial domains. This study investigated the contribution of pain intensity, perceived stress, pain coping strategies, pain interference, and social support in depression and sought to identify mediator and moderator effects in the pain-depression relationship among persons with chronic SCI pain. Perceived stress, pain coping strategies, and pain interference were proposed as likely mediators of pain intensity and depression. Different types of social support were proposed as likely moderators of pain intensity and depression. The SCI sample consisted of 60 people with chronic pain who completed measures of pain intensity, perceived stress, pain coping strategies, pain interference, social support, and depression. Demographic and injury-related factors were also examined as confounding variables. Occupational status, positive reframing, behavioral disengagement, self-blame, emotional support, perceived stress, and pain interference were associated with depression, with 7% of variance in depression accounted for by occupational status, 19 % of variance in

ABSTRACT. Objective: To determine rates of positive screens for psychological and substance use disorders in persons with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI). Study Design: A naturalistic cohort design wherein consecutive admissions during an 8-month period completed the screening battery. Setting: Veterans Affairs SCI Center. Participants: One hundred fifteen men, 2 women, mean age 57.4 years, injured an average of 20 years, readmitted for various reasons. Main Outcome Measures: The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and screening items for depression and anxiety disorders. Results: Rates of positive screens ranged from 6.2 % for alcohol problems to over 40 % for anxiety disorders. Positive screens for depression and anxiety correlated positively with the number of recent hospital admissions. Conclusions: Systematic brief screening for psychological and substance abuse disorders in this population revealed rates of positive screens at least equal to those in other medical patient populations.
