Hi, I'm Paul Jacobson, a 42-year old c5/6 complete
quad, injured
November 2003. I am conducting a study with my
colleague,
Barbara Ostos (able-bodied) through the University of
San Diego's
nonprofit leadership program.
The objective of the study is to better
understand the
challenges
and issues faced by quadriplegics through
the difficult
transition
from hospital to home. Please answer the 7
questions below.
Your help in this study would be very much
appreciated!
____________________________________________________________________________
1. What do you
think is the biggest challenge for those with sci
when they leave the
hospital and go home for the first time?
2. What resources did you turn to upon leaving the hospital
and
arriving home ?
3. How did the hospital prepare you,
during your stay and during
discharge, for your transition to
home.
4. What do you wish your insurance would cover that they
currently
do not.
5. When you
first left the hospital to go home, did you find any gaps
in service,
care, information, etc. If so, please share.
6. Who, in
the hospital, provided you the best information and
direction regarding
resources to help you get acclimated to your
new life?
7. If
you were a Board member in an organization focused on
easing the transition
from hospital to home, what specifically would
you like the organization to
do.
