چکیده
The main aim of the project was to improve follow-up care for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) after clinical rehabilitation by introducing transmural care in the rehabilitation sector. After discharge from rehabilitation, persons with SCI experience many health problems in daily life, for which they would like to receive better support. We undertook the following activities: (1) a survey assessing health problems experienced after clinical rehabilitation; (2) a literature search regarding follow-up care programmes; and (3) the development, implementation and evaluation of a transmural nursing care model aimed at the prevention of health problems.
