Life stress and psychologic adjustment following spinal cord injury.

Previous research on psychologic adjustment following spinal cord injury has not systematically investigated the impact of negative life events from contemporary perspectives. In order to examine the effects of life stress on adjustment, 53 spinal cord injured patients were assessed by the Symptom Checklist-90, Beck Depression Inventory, and a measure of life events. Patients who were experiencing higher subjective levels of life stress displayed more distress than those reporting lower levels of life stress. The findings were not mediated by the passage of time since injury.

A pilot study of effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on participants' self-concepts.

The administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was taught to a group of 12 adults. The Tennessee Self-concept Scale Form-C and the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior Scale (FIRO-B) were administered before and after their training. A control group of 12 was administered both scales twice with one day between administrations. Analysis indicated both groups showed significant differences between the pre- and posttest administrations on expressed affection on the FIRO-B. However, participants in a brief CPR course did not score significantly differently from a control group on these measures, as expected.
