Abstract: Cross-sectional study. To document the labour market participation rate and investigate the impact of social and economic characteristics on this outcome among in iduals with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D) who participated in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme in Brazil. A specialised rehabilitation centre in southern Brazil. An interview was performed with former rehabilitation clients with SCI/D. A total of 111 community-dwelling in iduals with SCI/D who had been previously rehabilitated in a large regional rehabilitation centre were considered. Employment status and demographic, injury, work, and economic characteristics were self-reported via interview. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed. The labour market participation rate was 21.6% (24 in iduals). Five respondents were employed in formal work activities, and the other 19 were involved in informal activities (self-employed). Since the onset of injury, a shorter time was associated with nonparticipation in occupational work. In iduals with a higher level of education were more likely to be working. Household income was higher among the participants who had returned to work than among those who had not returned. There is a relatively low labour market participation rate among rehabilitated in iduals with SCI/D in southern Brazil. The rehabilitation services should emphasise vocational training, access to education, and employment support for in iduals with SCI/D from early onset after the injury. Public policies must be revised to support labour market participation among in iduals with SCI/D in Brazil.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to describe and compare factors that affect urinary tract infection (UTI) rates in people with spina bifida (SB) and neurogenic bladder dysfunction before and following initiation of intermittent catheterization (IC). A quantitative, descriptive, correlational study. The study included people who were from Germany, a high-income nation, and Brazil, a middle-income nation. Brazilian participants were recruited from a public rehabilitation hospital in the state of Minas Gerais. German participants were drawn from different regions of the country. The study s le included 200 participants participants were either in iduals diagnosed with SB and neurogenic bladder dysfunction and using IC, or caregivers of persons using IC for bladder management. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire developed for urological follow-up of SB patients. A translated and validated version of the form was used to collect data in Germany. To evaluate annual episodes of UTI, we considered the number of symptomatic UTI before and after IC. Participants from Brazil were significantly younger than German patients (median age 9 vs 20 years, P .001). Brazilians predominately used assisted catheterization (63.0%), whereas most Germans performed self-catheterization (61.0%). Use of IC greatly reduced the incidence of UTI in both groups (mean 2.8 episodes per year before IC vs mean 1.1 episodes after starting IC, P .001). Women had a higher number of UTI, both before and after IC, but enjoyed greater reduction in UTI after initiating IC than men. Self-catheterization also promoted a greater reduction of UTI than assisted IC ( P = .022). Intermittent catheterization reduced annual episodes of UTI in both s les despite differences in catheterization technique. Patients practicing and performing self-catheterization achieved a greater reduction than those who relied on assisted IC. Comparative studies among additional countries with varying median income levels are needed to better understand the needs of in iduals with SB and their families, and to plan and implement safe nursing interventions.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate bladder self-management in transition to adult care for patients with spina bifida (SB) in 3 countries with similar clinical practice and different social, cultural, and economic milieu. Cross-sectional study. The s le comprised 90 participants: 27 reside in Brazil, 36 reside in Germany, and 27 reside in the United States. Demographic characteristics of the s le are based on country. The distribution of sex in the Brazilian s le was 18 males and 9 females, the German group had 11 males and 25 females, and the United States group had 8 males and 19 females. The age range of the cumulative s le was 13 to 29 years. The age of the German s le (mean 23.56, standard deviation [SD] 4.60 years) was significantly higher (analysis of variance, F (2, 87) = 13.62, P .001) than the other 2 groups (Brazil mean 20.56 years, SD 5.24 US mean 19.44 years, SD 4.70). Demographic, clinical, and social variable data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to multiple regions of Germany and a multidisciplinary myelomeningocele clinic at the University of Michigan in the Midwestern United States. In Brazil, participants completed a printed version of the survey. In Germany and the United States, an electronic version of the survey was made available online. German and English versions of the survey, originally developed in Portuguese for persons residing in Brazil, were translated and validated. The majority of participants (94.4%) performed intermittent catheterization (IC), 76.5% performed IC independently, whereas 23.5% required assistance with IC or catheterized with aids (handles, leg spreaders, and penis or labia holder). There were no statistically significant group differences in independent self-catheterization by gender. There were significant national group differences in level of lesion ( P = .016), use of shunt ( P = .012), and medication for bladder management ( P .001). Among participants 18 years and older, there were significantly higher levels of education in the German and the US s les than in the Brazilian s le ( P .001). Although there were national group differences in medical characteristics and management of SB, differences in independent self-catheterization were not significant. Findings suggest that support from family/caregivers and health care providers appears to facilitate transition to independent self-care, regardless of national context.
