Though the study of the impact of a spinal cord injury has become more prevelant in the last decade, very little research has been undertaken to increase the understanding of such an event on the marital dyad. Few researchers have included the spouse's appraisal of the marital relationship, thereby seriously limiting the scope of their study. This research was designed to explore the impact of the husbands' traumatic spinal cord injury on the functioning of the marital dyad and to identify the dyadic change process that was precipitated. A. case study method was selected to facilitate in depth exploration of changes in the marital dyad and to determine the husband's and the wife's present role functions as breadwinner, as social companion and as sexual partner. The data analysis of two marital dyads revealed an adjustment process which, can-be differentiated into three stages: Assault , Upheaval and Recovery . The final step in the recovery stage was the dyads' decision to accept or reject the new dyadic roles that had emerged as a result of the process. The findings indicated that Dyad A rejected the new roles and ultimately chose dissolution of the dyad while Dyad B accepted the new roles and continued the marital relationship. The findings were presented using the symbolic interaction conceptual framework for interpretation and discussion. Implications for further dyadic research are presented as well as some considerations for health care professionals.

The authors created this self-help guide for those who have suffered a spinal cord injury because "Our experience ... tells us that recovery and successful living after injury go more smoothly when people know what to expect ..." The descriptions of each aspect of life following the injury, from what happens in the hospital and the emotional effects which accompany the trauma, to the new lives experienced afterwards, are supplemented with the personal stories of those who have suffered this injury. Of the three authors, two are psychologists and one is an MD affiliated with the rehabilitation program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. A list of resources is included.

In October 2010, Shane Clifton had a serious accident that left him a quadriplegic. Husbands Should Not Break is a memoir that describes the challenges of adjusting to life with a disability. Shane is a theologian by trade, so the memoir explores the problem of pain--where is God when we suffer--weighing the sometimes-abstract categories of theology against the harsh realities of his experience. It is a brutally honest account, which does not shy away from the author's doubts and failures, and touches on rarely spoken-about topics, such as the impact of spinal cord injury upon sexuality. But while the narrative deals with sadness, it is a hopeful rather than depressing text, and often surprisingly funny, as it describes the comedic strangeness of struggling with a broken body. The memoir is an invitation into Shane's mind, providing readers with the opportunity to imagine what it might be like to experience the loss that comes with spinal cord injury and, thereafter, to think about life, loss, disability, and the possibility of happiness in the midst of the hardship and fragility of life.

This study explores the impact spinal cord injury (SCI) of one of the partners has had upon the marital relationship and the individual and relational characteristics which participant couples believe have helped them to maintain the integrity of their relationship. In this qualitative investigation, five couples discuss the story of their relationship prior to, and subsequent from, the spinal cord injury of one of the partners. Couples describe the characteristics and factors which assisted them in coping with SCI and make recommendations for rehabilitation and mental health professionals that increase support for individuals with SCI, their spouses, and their marriages. Literature spanning 40 years is reviewed and used as a foundation for the design of this study. This investigation is grounded using a combination of theoretical approaches: personal construction theory to seek understanding of the personal adjustment of each of the partners to the disability, ecological theory to seek explanation regarding the complexities involved in responding to trauma and marital strain; and symbolic interaction theory to give context to family systems issues as the couple adjusts roles, functions, and expectations. A descriptive, multiple case study design was used to seek understanding of the experience of participant couples and to strengthen the validity and stability of the findings. Participants were invited from two pools: An SCI association of a medium-sized midwestern state, and an Internet listserve of SCI couples. Selection criteria included: SCI occurrence at least 18 months prior; injury due to sudden onset; and, involvement in a committed relationship at the time of injury which has maintained up to the time of the study. A semi-structured format was used for each 2 ư to 3 hour interview. All couples noted major changes in priorities and daily activities, marital role changes, the need for personal care and independence, and social changes for the couple as having major impact upon their relationship following SCI. Eighty percent reported their relationship to be stronger and the majority claimed an increase in intimacy. Extraordinary stress for the non-injured spouse and increased financial pressures are noted. Major factors contributing to maintaining these relationships include: a clear commitment to the relationship; having strong values and a spiritual foundation, meaningful employment for each spouse; having parents as good marital role models; having a positive attitude; and, returning to a normal pattern of living. Couples stressed the importance for rehabilitation professionals to listen attentively, to support and include the non-injured spouse, and to provide the couple with time alone. This research verified the results of previous studies. New findings included reduction in marital conflict regarding gender-role changes after SCI and the need for couples to share emotional closeness and friendship.
