Abstract
Individuals with paraplegic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) face various difficulties that limit participation in daily activities and lowered Quality of Life (QOL) after hospital discharge. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the level of participation in daily activities and QOL among individuals with paraplegic SCI and to examine the relationship between these two variables. The results revealed that individuals with paraplegic SCI faced significant challenges in social participation, life activities, mobility, getting along, self-care, and cognition, leading to a reduction in overall QOL. Occupational therapists prioritize post-discharge interventions targeting to improve participation and QOL for successful rehabilitation and community reintegration.
