Biopsychosocial challenges of spinal cord injury survivors in Bangladesh: a qualitative investigation.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-altering condition, often leading to long-term disability, significantly impacting individuals worldwide. However, there is a dearth of research on the life experiences of people affected by SCI, particularly in lower-middle-income countries. Thus, this study aimed to explore the psychosocial impact of people living with SCI in Bangladesh.
methodsThis study employed a qualitative approach which included conducting 22 In-depth Interviews (IDIs) with persons with SCI in Bangladesh. Data were collected from October 2023 to December 2023 within the Spinal Cord Injuries' Development Association Bangladesh (SCIDAB), a rehabilitation center for SCI patients. Thematic analysis was utilized for this study.
resultsUtilizing the bio-psychosocial framework, findings highlighted the biological, psychological, and social factors underlying the psychological barriers experienced by participants. Sub-themes identified included biological factors: paralysis and loss of sensation, challenges in bowel and bladder management, psychological factors: a sudden change in life, and loss of independence and autonomy; insecurity about the future, suicidal thoughts, stigmatized by society, and social isolation; and social factors: lack of support system, lack of specialized working environment, and transportation obstacles.
conclusionIndividuals living with SCI reported experiencing both significant physical and psychosocial impacts. In addition to providing effective mental health services, there is a critical need for comprehensive rehabilitation for people affected by SCI and social awareness within the community is essential to reduce stigma and foster inclusion.
