Estrés, afrontamiento y variables psicológicas intervinientes en el proceso de adaptación a la Lesión Medular (LM): una revisión de la bibliografía

Abstract

This issue presents a review of research about coping with a spinal cord lesion (SCL) in the last thirty years, since the introduction of the stress theory in the rehabilitation psychology. We have reviewed this concept in the rehabilitation context, the research results as well as the methodological limitations for study. Coping has demonstrated to be a very relevant variable to understanding the adaptation process to SCL, in interaction with other psychological variables as personality and locus of control, offering support to the individual differences model.
