| Summary: | Text in Afrikaans === Indigenous literature about the experience of a couple, where one of the spouses experiences a spinal cord injury, is scarce in the frame of social work. The experience of 5 couples (10 participants), after a spinal cord injury of one of the spouses was researched in this qualitative study.
The aim of this research study is:
• to reconnoiter participants’ experience of a spinal cord injury of a spouse, through semi-structured interviews with a purposeful chosen sample
• to subject the research findings to a literature control
• to make recommendations about how spouses can support each other, as well as how professional people can support client systems, where one of the spouses experience a spinal cord injury
From the data it was determined that a spinal cord injury had significantly influenced the couples:
- emotions
- needs
- perceptions (origination of experiences)
Recommendations to couples as well as to professional people have been made. === Social Work === Thesis (M. Diac.)
