LIVING WITH AND PROVIDING SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A RESEARCH PROJECT

• Do you provide active support to a person with a spinal cord injury, who is living with you?
• Have you been providing this support for a period of 5 years or more?
• Would you like to share your experiences?
• Are you fluent in spoken English?

If you answered "yes" to all those questions, you are warmly invited to take part in a study to explore the experiences of partners and other family members who are living with and supporting a person with spinal cord injury.

This study has ethics approval from the University of Sydney (HREC No 12701). The research will be conducted by Ms Laynie Pullin, a Registered Nurse, as part of a PhD award.

The long-term aim of the study is to inform health and community-based services in this important area. The contribution of all family members living with and providing support to people with spinal cord injury over long periods of time is welcome.

If you live in the Sydney area, or within a 200 km radius of Sydney, and identify as living with, and providing long-term support to a person with a spinal cord injury, futher information and a Participant Information sheet can be provided.
