Respiratory Management Following Spinal Cord Injury - 29

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE

29

Incorporating fun and diversion into the life of the patient who is dependent on a ventilator is essential. A therapeutic recreation specialist can provide leisure resources for the patient and family in the home community. Technology and adaptive equipment might be required for some recreational activities. The benefits of socializing outside the home and being diverted from medical issues may inspire the patient to advance his or her own interests and activities.

Transition Resources
46. Identify medical and other transition resources in the home community, including: Local specialists. Respiratory services. Home supply and durable medical equipment vendors. Pharmacies.

Vocational Pursuits
45. Arrange a vocational evaluation to determine special aptitudes, interests, and physical abilities; factor in the need for transportation and attendant services.

Patients who are ventilator dependent should be encouraged to pursue their vocational interests. Chapin and Kewman (2001) found many key psychological factors associated with employment, including self-esteem, optimism, pride in personal achievement, and the positive influence of role models. State and private vocational rehabilitation agencies can provide a vocational evaluation to guide the patient to appropriate vocational choices. Schooling or other training might be necessary before employment can be secured. Transportation, manageable scheduling, support services, and accessibility in the vocational setting are essential to success.

Before discharge from an institutional setting, it is essential to identify the community resources that are available to provide services for the patient at home. A list of telephone numbers for key contacts is particularly helpful. A safe and efficient transition can help to alleviate the anxiety of leaving a stocked and staffed inpatient setting for life in the home setting. The successful transitional experience will empower the patient and family to manage care needs at home and to start to normalize the life of the patient.
