Posttraumatic Stress and Spinal Cord Injury Insights
Learn about the intersection of posttraumatic stress and spinal cord injury in this course, exploring insights into their impact, management strategies, and integrated care approaches.
About this course
This material will provide the participant with an overview of factors necessary to equip clinicians to identify Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in response to life-altering medical conditions, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), and to provide therapeutic services to these individuals. First, an orientation to the types and characteristics of SCI is provided to inform clinicians about the basic differences among SCI, and the challenges that individuals with SCI typically face. Second, a definition of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) within the medical context is reviewed and the risk factors for PTSD among those with SCI are discussed. While a comprehensive overview of PTSD treatment is beyond the scope of this course, references are provided to materials regarding general PTSD assessment and treatment. Finally, implications specific to addressing PTSD among persons with SCI are provided with an emphasis on assessing and treating PTSD within this medical model.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
