Subjective Well-Being Among People with Spinal Cord Injuries: The Role of Self-Efficacy, Perceived Social Support, and Perceived Health
Hampton, Nan Zhang
Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v48 n1 p31-37 Sep 2004
The purpose of this study was to explore the joint contributions of demographic variables, 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 selfefficacy, 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 selfefficacy, 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.
